Description
Transform your AEG by replacing the trigger contacts with the GATE ASTER II Bluetooth® EXPERT ETU/MOSFET from Gate Electronics! A computerised controller equipped with innovative optical sensors, including a proximity trigger sensor which offers an incredible 250 sensitivity settings, the ASTER II has now been upgraded with the Expert Firmware, making it even better for high-performance Airsoft platforms.
The GATE ASTER II Bluetooth® offers a unique opportunity to gain a tactical advantage thanks to an extremely fast trigger response, a whopping 343 different fire mode combinations, adjustable pre-cocking, adjustable active braking and much, much more!
One of the main differences between the ASTER II and the original is its built-in Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity, allowing you to adjust your settings using the versatile Gate Control Station app without the need for a BlueLink dongle or USB link. Midway through a game day, and fancy running burst instead of full auto? Whip your phone out, and you can set your ASTER II up to suit your needs in seconds!
The ASTER II's smart fuse protects your AEG’s battery, motor, and the controller itself, even in case of reverse battery connection. This feature, along with the optical sensors and multi-layer PCB with an EMC shield, makes the ASTER II Bluetooth the most durable drop-in unit on the market. You choose how to configure the ASTER II simply via the trigger or through the Gate Control Station app, thanks to its built-in Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity!
As with other ETU/MOSFET systems, you will need a certain amount of expertise to properly install the ASTER II without damaging its delicate optical sensors. We recommend consulting a tech unless you are very confident you can install the ASTER II properly, as we cannot offer returns on parts damaged during installation.
Compatibility-wise, this version of the ASTER II is designed for version 3 gearbox AEGs. It can also be used with single-solenoid or dual-solenoid HPA engines, but requires the ASTER II HPA Cable for the relevant engine type (sold separately).
If you're seeking advanced functionality, Bluetooth connectivity, enhanced performance and entry into the most high-tech ecosystem in Airsoft, the GATE ASTER II Bluetooth® EXPERT for AEG & HPA Version 3 Gearbox belongs in your build. Ready to run on any AEG with a version 3 gearbox and compatible with HPA engines with the addition of the ASTER II HPA Cable (available separately), this ETU is as adaptable as it is advanced!

Parts Fitting
Upgrades and Downgrades should only be undertaken by experienced players, or Airsoft Technicians. Please note, changing any internal parts of a weapon voids its warranty unless done in-house by our staff.
Please ensure that when fitting parts the part purchased is the correct part, as once a part has been fitted we cannot accept return.
We do know that players love to tinker, so we're here to give you help should you require it, and if needed you can get in touch with our workshop for more help!
Unique Parts
Please note that some parts may be unique to a specific brand of weapon. For example: Parts for an ASG M4A1 may not fit an ICS M4A1.
Parts from the same brand typically have a high chance of fitting, though be warned, some replicas use unique parts, so please ensure the part will fit before you attempt to fit it.
If you require help with fitting any parts feel free to get in touch with us via our Contact Us Page.
