Generally, users of PlayStation 4 they are quite happy with their console. Good hardware and a large list of exclusive games make the platform an inseparable companion for many, but if there is one thing that many would change, it is undoubtedly the Dualshock 4, since it is not the best PS4 controller to have. The legendary controller with analog sticks remains true to its principles by placing both controls symmetrically, something that Microsoft decided to change with its Xbox, giving priority to the left analog and leaving the digital pad in the background.
This new distribution is quite comfortable for many users, since today most games use the analog pad as the main controller, so placement on the Dualshock is somewhat awkward at this point. PlayStation continues to resist, so other manufacturers are taking advantage of the demand that exists to create their own peripherals with this approach. In the market we can find controllers for ps4 with this distribution in brands such as Nacon or Razer, but the last to present its proposal is Astro ’s relationship with the new C40TR. The manufacturer has obtained the PlayStation certification seal, so the peripheral ensures its 100% compatibility with the Sony console.
It transforms according to your needs
But, what happens when we want to play arcade or indie games that require the digital pad? That's where Astro's solution stands apart from the rest, as the C40 TR is capable of changing the placement of the digital pad and analog stick as needed. We will only have to use the tool that is included to remove four screws that release the front of the remote. Once removed, control modules can be interchanged to place them as we want. Apparently it does not seem like a quick method that encourages you to constantly change it, but it is still an interesting solution that allows you to adopt more profiles than we might expect, and that precisely makes it the best controller for PS4 that we can find. in the market.
Extra buttons for faster actions
Like the Microsoft Elite Controller, this Astro C40 TR includes two programmable buttons at the bottom that we can configure to our liking so that they do a certain function in the game. Along with them, some switches will shorten the travel of the lower triggers, in order to have a shorter response time when pressing them. Again, a feature already seen in Microsoft's Elite Controller.
A controller for professionals
Due to the professional player profile you are looking for, this controller has a configuration button that allows us to choose between wireless mode and a low latency wired mode with which to achieve fast response times with which not to lose a thousandth of a second in the game.
There is no doubt that the demands that could be asked of this peripheral are extremely high. Not only for its features, technology or finish of its materials, but also for the price, since the price of this C40 TR is $199although we will have to wait until march so you can see it in stores.
