CUSTOMIZABLE
Interchangeable thumbsticks with different grip types and heights. Swap the D-pad and left thumbstick to choose either Xbox offset layout or Playstation parallel layout. Two different D-pad caps to choose from.
BUILT TO LAST
Replaceable D-pad and thumbstick modules & caps provide an elegant solution to extend the life of the product as components wear out
PERSONALIZATION
Customizable faceplates offer a chance to personalize your controller and rep your team or personal brand.
ENHANCED SETTINGS
The Command Center software allows for customizing button layouts and adjusting thumbstick and trigger sensitivity.
UNFAIR ADVANTAGE
The C40 provides two mappable buttons on the bottom and toggles to switch between hair triggers and long throw triggers.
PROCESS
The C40 went through dozens of ergonomic studies to get the controller to feel comfortable in a wide range of hand sizes.
This process began with foam & clay to block in the shape and quickly make large changes.
It later progressed to subtle geometry tweaks in collaboration with ME that were printed out on a steady cadence and tested with Pros to refine through to the final form.
ICONIC INSPIRATION
The C40 design focused on a bold, unified graphic for the control module faceplate, contrasted against a soft controller form. The distinctive icon highlights the unique swappable control modules as a key feature for the design.
