Yoooo.. this video was so easy to understand and stayed on topic all the way through... I just subscribed bro.. I look forward to seeing more of your video on ps4 products....
Mine is going to arrive next week... would've been horrible not knowing how to turn it off 😂 ALSO! I Didnt know you could reprogram it to remove any drag. THATS AMAZING. My original plan was to map the back buttons to L3 and R3 so I wouldnt have to break my analog sticks any faster. Just knowing about the drag fix gives this thing more of a life span in terms of YEARS. THANKS
Thanks so much for this, I switched out my thumb stick caps and somehow got my analog sticks to have drag. I panicked and thought I might have damaged them. I had no idea that I could reset them by re-programming them!
great tips thank you! the only way I can program L2 to UL and R2 to UR is to set the L3 to UL and R3 to UR through the Astro C40 TR Configuration Software, and then switching L3 to L2 and R3 to R2 on the PS4 under Settings>Accesibility>Button Assignments>Customize Button Assignments.
I just recently heard of people using the accessibility options to make this work as well. This is great information, thank you for sharing! I wish I would have thought about this so I could have included it in the video.
Also a company called battle beaver makes upgraded modules. My modules gave out and I actually took the time to clean them and they were good for awhile. Hair and dust get under the modules and you can repair them with a T6 screwdriver. I chose to upgrade them and went with the 3rd party company because they have modules with extreme tension haha. I ordered 2 since I use the longest sticks. Also the way to fix drift was actually the incorrect way to fix the drift. I actually did it the way you did for a year and just recently found out. You press and hold the button until it vibrates while on a flat surface, don't touch it for a min and it will vibrate signaling that calibration is complete. You're welcome lol
I kept telling myself to buy some of those battle beaver modules but I still haven't lol. I haven't had any issues with my modules. Yeah, Astro had not released the recommended way to recalibrate stick drift when I made this video unfortunately. Either way does work, but the way you described is the better/more secure way to do it. Simply because you are not touching or moving the controller it is less likely there is accidental movement of the sticks which could program in drift. The way I do it in the video, if you actually hold one of the sticks very still off center, you can actually program in drift lol which is how I tested the process. Thanks, for the information and informative comment. It is nice to hear used info on the battle beaver modules. I wish I could edit the stick drift section of the video to comply with Astro recommendations but oh well.
What I love about this controller is the price! I love it ...no I’m kidding..the most important thing for a controller is the durability for the sticks because they ware out fast . But what makes this product worth the price?
The analog sticks are their own individual modules, so if one ever does wear out you can replace just that specific module instead of having to replace the entire controller. The price is high. If you want to see me go over all of the features of the controller check out my review video! th-cam.com/video/p4zx4s_qC-M/w-d-xo.html
@Syn Tech Gaming You help me so much about the USB transmitter that it's a "button", and the way to reset the connection between controller and the USB :-D I had so much issue sometimes about connections. THX SO MUCH
Clear and good presentation, really . You also give me solutions to program buttons on UL and UR that couldn't be possible by the PC software. One more subscriber'
Thanks for the drift thing, I tried hard resetting a million times. The drift can become a thing as soon as you take off the face plate and switch the modules by accident.
Yeah I noticed this as well, the analog sticks are pretty sensitive about being moved and the faceplate being good and secure. I'm glad it was able to help you! Thanks for the view and comment!
Man, I really wish you could bind two or more button to one paddle as I did with my strike pack, but the controller overall has been doing me good. I also have one thing to say, why aren't people talking about the software Astro provides? The software is insane and it really is a game changer because I feel less restricted in FPS games and 3rd person shooters like Fortnite. Not to mention, If you actually take full advantages of the software, I am telling you that your tracing with be so much easier and smoother.
IF they allowed 2 buttons to be bind to one the controller wouldn't be allowed in tournaments so I don't think they ever will (my opinion). I agree a huge part of this controller is being able to use the software and customize the controller to how you use it. Which is why I am hoping these videos will help people be able to set up their controller and help them more. After getting used to the stick tension I find all of my analog inputs are much smother and better controlled. Thanks for the view and comment!
I am having an issue with the left analog stick. It won't let me sprint or glide at speed. I had no issues for the first 7-10 days. Now the left analog stick is messing up. I hold the back little button and it vibrates. Somethings this helps the issue, but it comes back. I even swapped my right and left analog sticks to see if this was a replacement part i could buy. No luck. I've read that some people have had this issue. I have contacted Astro without any luck. I'm hoping for a replacement controller. I may put the analog stick in the "xbox" setup and see if it resolves the issue. Suggestions?
Have you tried the tiny reset button that requires a paper clip? I was having some issues that the reset button resolved for me. Has Astro responded to you yet?
Thanx for this helpful video I learned a lot from it but is there any way to cancel the program and make it to do nothing because some time when I play I click it by mistake 😔
To make a button do nothing program it to an under button, so use your programming button to enter programming mode then push whatever button, including the under buttons, then press either of the under buttons as the second press and that makes it programmed to nothing.
@@Deezy_Ankh you can reset and recalibrate the analog sticks on the Astro controller by pressing and holding the programming button 2 times for 5 seconds this fixes stick drift... It doesn't need to be replaced for drift...
i was told pressing for 3 seconds then pressing for 3 seconds again right after only recenters them but pressing the back button for 3 seconds and letting it vibrate and flash then leaving it to sit for 30 seconds, it then will vibrate and flash again and then it is recalibrated
They do both do the same thing, however I was unaware of the leaving it sit for 30 seconds option when I made this video. Thanks for comment and feedback!
@@SynTechGaming they actually dont do the same thing. Ive spoken to astro and they've confirmed calibration only happens when you leave it for 30 seconds
I’ve been having issues with sprinting in COD, have you had this issue, and if so how do I fix it? My character doesn’t move like he should and just stops sprinting. If you can help that would be amazing.
Same here my sprinting stutters in fortnite have even changed the modules and still happens I think it’s just the controller or something maybe you can ask for them to repair it
Great video. I heard there’s a way to make the controller lighter by removing the vibration modules. I can’t seem to find how to do that. Would you know?
I wish I had a scuff and/or nacon to do direct comparison videos of each of these. I may look at doing this in the future but is not a viable option currently.
This is good information! Thank you! IS this the same as the little button or does it just default the buttons back? I wonder if there is a difference.
I still have an issue.I connected my controller to the pc but it still isnt connecting to the software.The orange light is there but it still does not connect to the software and it shows controller not found.How to fix this?
Nice video man! Thanks, I was trying to figure out how to turn off controller without switching it to wired mode, as this is how I was turning it off, since it wasn't in the manual. All I need now is for them to patch in the battery icon in PS4 menu & hope that happens soon. Do you also know when the remote needs charging in wireless mode or if does anything to alert of this?
Thank you this was a great video. One question though, how do you use the touchpad and gyro on PC? Steam only views the controller as an xbox 360 controller
Unfortunately, you don't. There is a way to mess with windows registry and make it recognize the controller as PS4 but then most games will not work with the controller.
Recently ordered battle Beaver Customs to replace my modules remote tension can I use Scuf Vantage to sticks on these I was curious because the stock sticks for Astro suck and you can't order any different kind
@@CarlosRamirez-rq9zw What's going on with your controller? Maybe if I have a better idea of what issue you are experiencing I may be able to offer another solution, maybe not though but I will try!
Already bought it... very satisfied. Everyone I know who had a scuff is sorry they bought it. Scuff reviews are also trash overall everywhere you look.
@@stefaniep4374 Happy to hear your satisfied with the controller! I'm thinking about grabbing the new second model of the scuff just to make videos about. Once I have some free time again.
Question. Have you had any success with programming a feature where the game controller setting wants you to press two buttons simultaneously (Like L1&R1) and map it to just one of the underbuttons?
If you are not having issues then you don't have to change it. But if you are having issues with the guard up and the game not registering the triggers then you need to change it to fix it. Also if you want to have the triggers react as fast as possible set them all to 100%
so astro just sent me a replacement controller and it's unusable bc in the astro software it's got the left joystick switched with dpad as if it's an xbox controller setup...and i can't seem to switch it, any ideas?
What do u do when your moving forward but your character suddenly stops moving and goes backward or stops moving forward while you are still pressing forward on the analog ?
I would reset the controller using the small pin hole, but before doing that, I would take the face plate off and check and clean the connectors/contacts for the analog sticks and the make sure you properly put it back together, then reset
Do you know if the sticks can be remapped? Making the left stick right and the right stick left ? I'm left handed and can't play some games because the in game options don't let me switch sticks ( war thunder does 😉 )
It is, honestly I've never thought about the fact that left hand gamers might want the sticks to function backwards like this, you have blown my mind lol. I would recommend reaching out to Astro customer service/Reddit to make them aware that there is a demand for this. I do know you you can put both analog on the left side of the controller, but looking around is still the right stick..
I want to paint the screws that holds the faceplate a metallic red color. Would that be a bad idea? If not what kind of paint would you suggest? Btw thanks for showing how to map x to the under button. That will help a lot
So, this will probably void your warranty and done wrong could cause damage to your controller so I don't recommend it. Also, Astro has the faceplate listed as a purchasable accessory so you might want to wait until you could potentially get a replacement. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS, but if I were to do it, I would remove the screws from the faceplate by removing the c-clips on them, I would then put tape on the threads on the screws to ensure no paint got on the threads. I would get a hex tool/Allen tool that I would not be worried about getting pain on and insert it into the screw head, then you could paint it while the tape and tool are both on/in it. The tape would protect the threads and the Allen tool would keep paint from getting inside the screw head to ensure you can still get the tool in and out later to screw/unscrew them into/from the controller. Once again I do not recommend this, lol... Maybe they will come out with cool faceplate covers and stuff...
@@lunar3129 Yeah, it just made me think it would be cool to have color options for the face plate. If you are going to paint the screw heads I would still remove them entirely from the face plate before doing so.
Thanks for pointing this out. If left is jump right is melee, what do they use r3 for? Just curious as I'm trying different setups to see what I like and what works best. I guess I just assumed jump and slide because that's the default programming.
How did you figure out how to turn off the controller that is one of my biggest problem when is time for me to turn off my system that was a big catch on
Hey, do you know if the controller has motion control? Like gyro control? I've been using the Switch Pro Controller through steam and since it had a gyro, it can be used for motion and mimick the joystick. So I was wondering if that can be tested on steam controller.
I don't think they will ever allow this controller to support macro features like this. I believe they intend to keep this controller tournament approved so it can never allow multiple inputs on a single press. Just my thoughts though.
@@robthevallee4785 Yeah, I agree, all the hardware is there for them to do a lot of great things so we will have to wait and see what some updates bring us!
The dpad does? That's strange, there are a few things I would try in order to resolve this issue. 1. Remove the faceplate and ensure all modules have been properly aligned red line on module lines up with red line in module hole. 2. Do the sick drift recenter, press and hold program button to enter programming mode and without pushing any other button push and hold the programming button again, maybe this will recalibrate the center of the dpad as well. 3. reset the controller using a paperclip size object to press and hold the tiny button (just under the program button)for 30 seconds. 4. Remove and replace the cover on the dpad 5 contact Astro customer support Hope this helps, if one of these corrects your issue please let me know so that I can help others more efficiently.
I have not heard of one that does this specifically for this controller. The only adapter I know if that might even make this possible is the CronusMax... But I have no idea for sure that this would/wouldn't work... From my understanding though that product can take any wired controller with USB and make it work on any USB console... Hope this helps
I've had no issues with mine, but I've also never broken a controller and before this controller I only had to replace my dualshock controller once just because the springs were not as firm.
You're welcome! I one day hope to have a community of people that want to share information and help each other. I hope to start producing content for TH-cam again soon, and definitely when the new consoles come out. I have just recently started streaming on twitch again. Twitch.tv/SynTech_Gaming
If you mean the actual sticks (not the whole module) just grab and pull up. First time I did mine I had to pull do hard I thought I was going to break it. It's a bit easier now after a few swaps.
I will check out his video as I am watching some of the other review videos. One of the main reasons I haven't put up my review video yet is I want to be very in depth and I am waiting for confirmation on a couple of things to make sure I bring the best content.
I have been messing with it some, I would say that a good safe setting is to increase all four options by 5%. I plan to make a video about this later but I think these are good safe settings without getting into many crazy details.
I have family visiting this weekend so I plan on making a review video and analog stick video starting next week, hopefully I can get them both done on Monday!
HEY I DONT KNOW IF YOU GOT THIS PROBLEM BUT WHEN I PLUG my headset into my Astro controller I can hear my self and I don’t know how to fix it any tips? By the way I have an Astro headset as well.
This sounds like a feature of your headset, check and see if it has mic monitoring, voice monitoring, or something similar. Some headsets this can be adjusted, some it can't... What model headset is it A10?
SynTech Gaming yo I have a problem so my Astro is in wireless mode right and when I’m playing it just beeps in my ear and then disconnects this has happen to me a lot of times while in wireless mode do you know any tips to stop it?????
I have not tested it with Cronus Max, sorry, I don't have one. But from my understanding that thing is supposed to work with any controller that can be used in wired mode.
@@t10parwani my only recommendation would be to get on the Cronus Max forums in order to receive help from people with more experience with that device.
Can you update firmware for PS4? When I used the usb cord into the pc I didn’t see options for updating firmware but I also didn’t use the Astro usb stick into the pc dunno if it makes a difference or not.
I just did mine after buying it yesterday. Plug micro USB into controller. Plug USB side into PC. Then plug the little transmitter into PC. The software should give the option to update controller firmware in the top right corner. When that's done, unplug the controller USB and only leave the transmitter in, and then it's should give you an option to update the firmware on the transmitter. That's how I did mine worked flawlessly and in total took about 2 minutes
You have to update the controller and wireless adapter firmware using a computer. Make sure you download that Astro software and follow the steps Jordan has provided. Let us know if you need more help.
hey bud, I bought a c40, and it will not even recognize my controller on my laptop. I can place the usb adapter on , and it still will not recognize it, however it will show up on device manager. However it has a caution by it, I try to update it, and it will not allow me to? Any help will be taken and much appreciated
Have you tried plugging the controller in directly and turning it to wired mode to see if it picks it up? Last I remember device manager listed is as a360 controller. Have you downloaded the Astro C40 software? Does it recognize it?
SynTech Gaming it keeps saying no device found, please plug in device. When I plug it directly into any of the 3 USB ports, then when I go to device manager, it has a yellow mark on Astro c40, I try to update the driver and it says windows was unable to install your Astro c40. Windows could not find drivers for ur device. If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit their website, and check the support section for downloadable drivers. This is what it keeps telling me
@@gdunn1975 Are you on Windows 10? I just plugged my controller in and I'm my device manager the controller is posted under category Xbox 360 peripherals And called Xbox 360 controller for Windows If yours is saying something else I would uninstall it completely and restart computer and then plug it back up after restart and see what it says
SynTech Gaming I just heard back from Astro gaming, windows 10 is set to Xbox controllers so I had to set the controller like they said and now it works. Thank you for your help bud
biggz99 you’d have to mod it yourself it’s a TR controller which means it’s tournament ready. That means it doesn’t have any mods like rapid fire, jitter, etc.
Let me know if you know things about this controller that I don't know!
Is it compatible with any other ps other than the ps4?
@@malakmarkus Not that I am aware of, but I don't have a ps3 here to test.
Does it actually work if you put both joysticks on the left?
Is there anyway you find out battery life?

Does the Astro c40 need to be charged when Using Bluetooth
When using the controller wirelessly, with the USB dongle, yes it will need to be charged. The battery last for a long time though between charges.

You can do the reset without a pin. Just hold program button for almost 30 seconds.

One question though, how do you use the touchpad and gyro on PC? Steam only views the controller as an xbox 360 controller
Unfortunately, you don't. There is a way to mess with windows registry and make it recognize the controller as PS4 but then most games will not work with the controller.
@@SynTechGaming thank you for the response. I already tried the registry trick you are 100% right it just messes everything up
@@LP1990s You're welcome. Yeah that little"hack" totally not worth it lol
Recently ordered battle Beaver Customs to replace my modules remote tension can I use Scuf Vantage to sticks on these I was curious because the stock sticks for Astro suck and you can't order any different kind
How do you know if it’s fully charged?
How can I reset my controller if my laptop is busted ???
Just use the reset button on the controller. It's the little tiny one that you need to press with a paper clip, located just below the program button.
@@SynTechGaming no luck, I think I need new modules
@@CarlosRamirez-rq9zw What's going on with your controller? Maybe if I have a better idea of what issue you are experiencing I may be able to offer another solution, maybe not though but I will try!
Dope vid bro ty
Thanks for the view, comment, and feedback!
Just curious, but how did you program drift into it?
does the astro c40 connect to xbox one? ty
Great video.
I think I'll buy this controller after seeing this.
Glad I could provide the information you needed to make your purchase!
dont do it!!! buy a scuff!. im severely disapointed!
@@chrisjames5823 What do you not like about the controller?
Already bought it... very satisfied.
Everyone I know who had a scuff is sorry they bought it.
Scuff reviews are also trash overall everywhere you look.
@@stefaniep4374 Happy to hear your satisfied with the controller!
I'm thinking about grabbing the new second model of the scuff just to make videos about. Once I have some free time again.
Question. Have you had any success with programming a feature where the game controller setting wants you to press two buttons simultaneously (Like L1&R1) and map it to just one of the underbuttons?
Very good video are you saying that for me to get 100% with the trigger guard up I should push it up to 100
If you are not having issues then you don't have to change it. But if you are having issues with the guard up and the game not registering the triggers then you need to change it to fix it. Also if you want to have the triggers react as fast as possible set them all to 100%
SynTech Gaming I’m not having issues but I just wanna be able to react faster
Fastest reaction for triggers would be setting them to 100% on all options and enabling the trigger stops! This will provide you hair trigger!
so astro just sent me a replacement controller and it's unusable bc in the astro software it's got the left joystick switched with dpad as if it's an xbox controller setup...and i can't seem to switch it, any ideas?
What do u do when your moving forward but your character suddenly stops moving and goes backward or stops moving forward while you are still pressing forward on the analog ?
I would reset the controller using the small pin hole, but before doing that, I would take the face plate off and check and clean the connectors/contacts for the analog sticks and the make sure you properly put it back together, then reset
Do you know if the sticks can be remapped? Making the left stick right and the right stick left ? I'm left handed and can't play some games because the in game options don't let me switch sticks ( war thunder does 😉 )
Not that I'm aware of
@@SynTechGaming idea for an update then
It is, honestly I've never thought about the fact that left hand gamers might want the sticks to function backwards like this, you have blown my mind lol.
I would recommend reaching out to Astro customer service/Reddit to make them aware that there is a demand for this.
I do know you you can put both analog on the left side of the controller, but looking around is still the right stick..
I want to paint the screws that holds the faceplate a metallic red color. Would that be a bad idea? If not what kind of paint would you suggest? Btw thanks for showing how to map x to the under button. That will help a lot
So, this will probably void your warranty and done wrong could cause damage to your controller so I don't recommend it. Also, Astro has the faceplate listed as a purchasable accessory so you might want to wait until you could potentially get a replacement.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS, but if I were to do it, I would remove the screws from the faceplate by removing the c-clips on them, I would then put tape on the threads on the screws to ensure no paint got on the threads. I would get a hex tool/Allen tool that I would not be worried about getting pain on and insert it into the screw head, then you could paint it while the tape and tool are both on/in it. The tape would protect the threads and the Allen tool would keep paint from getting inside the screw head to ensure you can still get the tool in and out later to screw/unscrew them into/from the controller. Once again I do not recommend this, lol... Maybe they will come out with cool faceplate covers and stuff...
SynTech Gaming I don’t want to paint the faceplate, just the screw heads. I’ll wait a month and see what they come out with
@@lunar3129 Yeah, it just made me think it would be cool to have color options for the face plate. If you are going to paint the screw heads I would still remove them entirely from the face plate before doing so.
I don't even think you can take the screws from the face plate.
Conde Racelis it’s possible. There’s just a little c ring holding them in place. It’s easily removable.
My controller does not want to go on it had a low battery and then just died and it wont come on?
They won't let you program the under buttons to triggers because most true competition's don't allow it and that's a TR tournament ready controller
Your "most common set up " is backwards. Left under trigger is jump , right is melee. Not the other way. At least that's how all the pros play
Thanks for pointing this out. If left is jump right is melee, what do they use r3 for? Just curious as I'm trying different setups to see what I like and what works best. I guess I just assumed jump and slide because that's the default programming.
@@SynTechGaming I use r3 for going crouching/going prone.
For blackout, I use left bumper as jump and right bumper as SQUARE that way I can look really fast and reload and heal armor .
@@ictkeith3730 I'll have to give this setup a try, thanks for the info!
I like it
Thank you!!!
epic video
Thank you!
How did you figure out how to turn off the controller that is one of my biggest problem when is time for me to turn off my system that was a big catch on
h p unplug it and turn it on wired
This one I found out on the Astro gaming Reddit, I'm not sure who originally found out/posted about it though.
You can also press and hold the PS button for about 5-7 seconds and it turns the controller off
It won’t let me reset the controller I messed up. Is there another way to reset to default settings??
Use a paper clip it similar item and press and hold the tiny reset button inside the hole under the programming button for 25 seconds
Hey, do you know if the controller has motion control? Like gyro control? I've been using the Switch Pro Controller through steam and since it had a gyro, it can be used for motion and mimick the joystick. So I was wondering if that can be tested on steam controller.
Motion is only available on the ps4
Ohh I see, bummer, really wanted it to have that on PC!
@@Nick-Hernandezz yeah since the PC only resisters it as a 360 controller the motion and touch pad are disabled
I wonder if they will ever allow one button to mimic pressing two buttons like the PS4 strike pack
I don't think they will ever allow this controller to support macro features like this. I believe they intend to keep this controller tournament approved so it can never allow multiple inputs on a single press. Just my thoughts though.
SynTech Gaming they most likely won’t, but it would be nice for fighters and certain shooters.
@@robthevallee4785 Yeah, I agree, all the hardware is there for them to do a lot of great things so we will have to wait and see what some updates bring us!
For some reason I switched the left joystick with the dpad and now the dpad sometimes just gets stuck going right for some reason any ideas?
The dpad does? That's strange, there are a few things I would try in order to resolve this issue.
1. Remove the faceplate and ensure all modules have been properly aligned red line on module lines up with red line in module hole.
2. Do the sick drift recenter, press and hold program button to enter programming mode and without pushing any other button push and hold the programming button again, maybe this will recalibrate the center of the dpad as well.
3. reset the controller using a paperclip size object to press and hold the tiny button (just under the program button)for 30 seconds.
4. Remove and replace the cover on the dpad
5 contact Astro customer support
Hope this helps, if one of these corrects your issue please let me know so that I can help others more efficiently.
@@SynTechGaming it actually hasn't done it in awhile so I'm not too sure
Do you happen to know the name of the adapter that lets you use it for xbox also? I heard it was like 40 dollars
I have not heard of one that does this specifically for this controller. The only adapter I know if that might even make this possible is the CronusMax... But I have no idea for sure that this would/wouldn't work... From my understanding though that product can take any wired controller with USB and make it work on any USB console... Hope this helps
Are the analog durable ? I seem to be breaking my left analog all the time atm.
I've had no issues with mine, but I've also never broken a controller and before this controller I only had to replace my dualshock controller once just because the springs were not as firm.
I do you know the controller is charging?
Solid orange= charging, solid white= charged
SynTech Gaming thanks it’s been a while since you posted and a while since your posted this video so thanks for still replying
You're welcome! I one day hope to have a community of people that want to share information and help each other. I hope to start producing content for TH-cam again soon, and definitely when the new consoles come out. I have just recently started streaming on twitch again.
Twitch.tv/SynTech_Gaming
Can you make a video how to switch the analog stick
You mean move them from one place to the other?
If you mean the actual sticks (not the whole module) just grab and pull up. First time I did mine I had to pull do hard I thought I was going to break it. It's a bit easier now after a few swaps.
Is there a way to combo map the under button like x + o ? I like to play fighting games
No there is no combo/macro commands available on this controller.
my astroc40 works in the app but not on fortnite do u know how to fix that ive updated everything
What isn't working? The whole controller? You playing on PC or PS4?
How many buttons are on the back of the controller? 2 or 4?

Very helpful
Thank you for the view, comment, and feedback!
Please advise airbear on how to operate the controller he just dropped a video getting all over the controller for stick drift.
I will check out his video as I am watching some of the other review videos. One of the main reasons I haven't put up my review video yet is I want to be very in depth and I am waiting for confirmation on a couple of things to make sure I bring the best content.
Air Bear knew of this solution. He even showed it in his video. To him it was an unnecessary annoyance. I agree but I still love the controller.
Does it have rapid fire???
It does not
Why does mine blink white and orange?
When I plug it in. Without pressing any buttons. It goes syco. It literally “uses” every button without me pushing anything. Please HELP HELP HELP
IS it normal for the controller to take forever charging once it died
yes, charges pretty slow and has 20hr battery life so it will take multiple hours to full charge
can you use the astro c40 on xbox
Hey did you get a chance to mess with the dead zone sticks
I have been messing with it some, I would say that a good safe setting is to increase all four options by 5%. I plan to make a video about this later but I think these are good safe settings without getting into many crazy details.
SynTech Gaming Yes I wait to you make a video and take a look at it because I play a lot of shooting games
I have family visiting this weekend so I plan on making a review video and analog stick video starting next week, hopefully I can get them both done on Monday!
HEY I DONT KNOW IF YOU GOT THIS PROBLEM BUT WHEN I PLUG my headset into my Astro controller I can hear my self and I don’t know how to fix it any tips? By the way I have an Astro headset as well.
This sounds like a feature of your headset, check and see if it has mic monitoring, voice monitoring, or something similar. Some headsets this can be adjusted, some it can't...
What model headset is it A10?
SynTech Gaming yeah it’s an a10
SynTech Gaming yo I have a problem so my Astro is in wireless mode right and when I’m playing it just beeps in my ear and then disconnects this has happen to me a lot of times while in wireless mode do you know any tips to stop it?????
SynTech Gaming my Astro as in my controller
How do u reset drift if u dont have a pc
Just use the programming button
Does Cronus max work in this controller and how ?
I have not tested it with Cronus Max, sorry, I don't have one. But from my understanding that thing is supposed to work with any controller that can be used in wired mode.
SynTech Gaming its not working
@@t10parwani cronusmax doesn't list full support for it, but other users are saying they have it work on their xbox.
What are you trying to use it on?
SynTech Gaming my ps4
@@t10parwani my only recommendation would be to get on the Cronus Max forums in order to receive help from people with more experience with that device.
Can you update firmware for PS4? When I used the usb cord into the pc I didn’t see options for updating firmware but I also didn’t use the Astro usb stick into the pc dunno if it makes a difference or not.
I just did mine after buying it yesterday. Plug micro USB into controller. Plug USB side into PC. Then plug the little transmitter into PC. The software should give the option to update controller firmware in the top right corner. When that's done, unplug the controller USB and only leave the transmitter in, and then it's should give you an option to update the firmware on the transmitter. That's how I did mine worked flawlessly and in total took about 2 minutes
@@d_dogzgaming8603 Thank you!
You have to update the controller and wireless adapter firmware using a computer. Make sure you download that Astro software and follow the steps Jordan has provided. Let us know if you need more help.
he seeks struggling to breath, u okay bro?
hey bud, I bought a c40, and it will not even recognize my controller on my laptop. I can place the usb adapter on , and it still will not recognize it, however it will show up on device manager. However it has a caution by it, I try to update it, and it will not allow me to? Any help will be taken and much appreciated
Have you tried plugging the controller in directly and turning it to wired mode to see if it picks it up?
Last I remember device manager listed is as a360 controller.
Have you downloaded the Astro C40 software? Does it recognize it?
SynTech Gaming it keeps saying no device found, please plug in device. When I plug it directly into any of the 3 USB ports, then when I go to device manager, it has a yellow mark on Astro c40, I try to update the driver and it says windows was unable to install your Astro c40. Windows could not find drivers for ur device. If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit their website, and check the support section for downloadable drivers.
This is what it keeps telling me
@@gdunn1975 Are you on Windows 10?
I just plugged my controller in and I'm my device manager the controller is posted under category
Xbox 360 peripherals
And called
Xbox 360 controller for Windows
If yours is saying something else I would uninstall it completely and restart computer and then plug it back up after restart and see what it says
SynTech Gaming I just heard back from Astro gaming, windows 10 is set to Xbox controllers so I had to set the controller like they said and now it works. Thank you for your help bud
@@gdunn1975 No problem, you're welcome!
does the controller works on PC ?
Yes it does, wired or wireless!
Does it have a turbo function?
No
Love that beard
👍🥰🥰
Damn.. I was hoping to use the ul buttons to lean without ads in rb6
I still get drift after recalibration
can you turn on ps4 with this controller?
No, I hope they can/will change this in the future.
Do this controller have the capability of rapid fire
No, it doesn't.
biggz99 you’d have to mod it yourself it’s a TR controller which means it’s tournament ready. That means it doesn’t have any mods like rapid fire, jitter, etc.
I didn't Kno u could turn it off. I've jus been putting it in wired mode n unplugging the cord lol.
Glad I could help! Thanks for the view and comment!
