    I'm a disabled gamer ,.. i mapped keys for wasd and use the thumbstick to emulate the mouse aim ,..
    it's mot perfect but as a 1 handed person it allowed me to return to gaming after my stroke.
    p.s. i have all versions ,.. the mini is best for most users , for my needs as a 1 handed gamer cyborg is the clear choice.

    Great video. The Cyborg is awesome for anyone looking for a keyboard alternative. I can't use a keyboard to game at all and have used tons of keyboard alternatives and the Azeron is the best by far. I upgraded to the cyborg and gave my original 2 azerons to my son and granddaughter. The azeron is the only thing keeping this 60 yr old gaming. There is a learning curve training your fingers, especially the ring and pinky. I use the Azeron for multiple shooters and some kids games I play with my grandson. and it works great. I rebind the keys in game the 1st time I play and then I am set. It's worth every penny.

    Man I have used a lot of these since 2001. Belkin N50, N52, N52e. Razer Orbweaver. Logitech G13. Back in the day I kicked it on my bed with an adj arm display holder, one of those gamepads and a Logitech thumb ball/Trackball since 1991 (Trackman, Trackman Marble, Trackman Wheel, M570, m575 and the MX ERGO as my current device.
    YES I have been gaming on stationary thumb style mice since the 90s. The precision you can get with a keyboard gamepad and trackball mouse is insane. TINY movements and accuracy is the result of a good programing setup. The MX Ergo precision mode button that works amazingly well looking down a scope as a sniper.
    I guess I missed this pad completely having never heard of it till today. Might have to give it a shot.

    Mini USB wasn't so much a design choice as it was what the microcontroller running the Azeron (the Teensy++ 2.0) has on board. While mini-b could have been adapted to USB-C in the device itself, it would have added a point of failure. I'm currently building a mixer that will change per-application volume in Windows. I'm building it around an Arduino Nano, which also uses mini-B. For something that stays plugged in, this will be more than robust enough.

      @anghDescartes end users like you are the biggest pain I swear to god. The amount of words you process on a keyboard withing a minute is not the speed I'm talking about. I'm talking about the delay between an input and output. Bluetooth latency is about 34ms in best case, about 200 worst case. The brand new bluetooth 5.3 promises 20ms best case scenario, which is still too high. A modern wired keyboard is anywhere like a corsair k65 will do about 0.4, the average wired gaming keyboard will do worst case about 4 maybe 5ms.
      Bluetooth would be useless, because you'd have to build in batteries, which needs redesigns, increases size, and drives up cost. For what? Increased latency on a product that needs to be as fast as possible? Stop being smug and arrogant, go back to your office job, and send the IT worker a ticket instead of walking to his desk next time.

And all the buttons are in a location my hand doesn’t loose track. This review has helped so now I’m going save up some money so I can order one.

    How do games that only allow controller inputs or keyboard inputs (like you can't use both types of inputs at the same time in matches) in games such as MW/Warzone work? I'm looking at the joystick and was wondering how it's recognized in games if it's mapped as a joystick? Do games see that as a controller input and change the UI to match a controller layout and then back to keyboard layout when you hit a mapped out key press from the keyboard? Sorry if that doesn't make sense!

    I currently use a Razer Tartarus. Not big fan of Razer but I like the customization and ergonomics. What I hate is that in game sometimes the keys register as if I'm holding them down when I'm not. It's as if they are stuck. Pressing the key again stops it but it's gotten me killed quite a few times. This is definitely on my radar in terms of a replacement.

    Keypads like the Tartarus and This are frankly a must if you want to be better at games. The best part is you can map the same abilities between games to the same keys so you are not losing muscle memory between games. Dodge is always the same key, shoot is the same key. Also killer in MMO's as you can really put that kep mapping to use and swap between mmo's without missing a step. Also the grip tape has made this much better. I use the tartarus and found the cyborg too slippery, grip tape has fixed this. You can also get grip tape for the buttons as well just remember to clean the oils off with an alchol pad before attaching. Overall I'm happy to have an alternative as other keyboard makers have moved away from a keypad with Razer being one of the few with a egronoic design and now with Azeron I have two options.

    I mean, imo, mini USB is preferable to micro usb and is less prone to fail. I guess my issue is that I play a ton of games and it'd be difficult to keep toggling between different mapping's. I'd stick the Cyborg because I play a lot of space sims which absolutely use all sorts of buttons that other games wouldn't.

    Most games dont have options to use a thumbstick for movement seperately from key binding and such. So I imagine its just WASD binded on a thumbstick. Not as good but doable.

    • @lightningzayyum3975

    I was a console player all my life up until a few years ago. So controller is second nature for me! I've forced myself to use only KB&M for three straight months but even after that I went back to controller instantly. I see the clear merits of a mouse doing the aiming vs your thumb on a controller, but on the left hand side of things I just absolutely HATE WASD. This thing has a hell of a price tag, but man am I very tempted to pick it up.. Mouse gaming WITH an Analog stick for movement. mmm mmmm tasty!

Nothing is faster than the zero debounce time of optical switches, nothing is smarter than the innovation of analog switches, and gripping something for too long is possibly worse than just typing on a keyboard.

      If the game supports mouse and keyboard you will need to map the keys in the azeron software to the keys the xbox is usually looking for if the game itself doesnt allow remapping. if the game allows remapping, just map keyboard keys to all azeron keys and map the way you want.
