A deeply recessed micro USB port between the upper switches lets you plug in the C40 with the included six-foot cable for charging, using the gamepad as a wired controller, or customizing it with Astro's software. I’ve heard scattered reports that wear and tear on sticks is happening faster than you’d expect, but I haven’t noticed any problems myself yet. I’ve reviewed more than a thousand different consumer electronics products including headphones, speakers, TVs, and every major game system and VR headset of the last decade. The ability to go back and forth is new though, as you could just as easily swap back to a PlayStation layout for certain titles.You’ll also see neat red switches, which can be used to adjust the actuation point of the pad’s triggers – like the ones seen on the Razer Wolverine and Raiju Ultimate.

The combination of a pseudo-dead zone in the middle of the stick followed by a wild swing as I tilted farther felt awkward, but I could feel that the ability to craft that sort of behavior could be very valuable to a skilled player. For instance, you could make it so moving the stick even 20 percent of the way is equal to a full 100-percent tilt, or give yourself a larger dead zone for additional finesse.
