Astro Gaming C40 TR Controller

Astro Gaming has worked with Tact on many of their groundbreaking headsets, so when they asked us to help develop the most advanced controller ever, we jumped at the chance. Elite gamers, in addition to being very particular about their controllers, tend to wear out the same component over and over again. Once the component goes bad, the entire controller is trash. The bar was exceptionally high to create a robust, beautiful solution to this problem that was also true to the original design concept of an elite controller.

Working closely with Astro Gaming’s Design and Engineering execs, we provided an array of concepts for swappable module mechanisms, exploring a full range of ideas from the simple to the complex. We further supported development by providing 3D CAD sculpting and mechanical design. The final solution cleverly allows gamers to customize the controller and easily replace the parts they abuse the most.

The Verge calls it “arguably even more elite than Microsoft’s Xbox One Elite.”
