COMPARED. Azeron Cyborg or Classic. Which one is for you?

[@boston19801]

To those who don’t have Azeron, you should have it because its a game changer not only for Gaming but for everything you do in PC specially when combined with REWASD software.

[@Hipporider]

could you briefly elaborate on the REWASD use, in regard to the Azeron please?

[@falxonPSN]

@acejimbo6119 much more powerful macro options. You can also have multiple layers/sets of assignments and swap between them with a button press. You can also use ReWASD to combine multiple devices into one "virtual controller" that includes inputs from all of them (like azeron + mouse), so if you have a game that is poorly designed for handling multi-device input, you can make it look like it's all a single control device.

[@MrLeandromr2]

Nice! Very informative. Personally, I think Cyborg is my preferred. The way we can set the analog stick is fantastic (And it was very well explained by you)! Hope it keeps it's solidness with time. Also, Cyborg comes with a screwdriver... I'm hyped!

[@Philipanko]

Awsome Vid. New users to the Azeron. . . just make sure that you give yourself plenty of time to get accustomed to the feel of this Controller. I mean like a good 3 to 4 weeks! It will be frustrating at the very beginning, but many times new things are like that. I have used a Razer Tartarus V2 and the Orbweaver Chroma for many years, but the Cyborg blows them away! Now having 360 turning with the Joystick Keyboard is fantastic!

[@SothisTheDog]

I have used the Logitech G13 for about 14 years now. Had been looking for a replacement for years since it isn't the most comfortable but is still better than the Razer alternatives, in my opinion. I did end up buying the Azeron Classic a few years back before the release of this new one but just couldn't get used to claw gripping it. I think this new one kind of solved that problem now, so I'm looking forward to ordering this new one as soon as I'm able.

[@falxonPSN]

This is absolutely true. This has a LONG adjustment period for most folks. Once you do get used to it though, it is amazing. And then using it for new games becomes super quick.

[@bigalan1942]

Pre ordered in July can't wait for mine to ship!

[@steameier8590]

Is the version with the extra "5-way switch" for the thumb an often used feature? Without, there is more room for adjustment. I'm not sure about the thumb options... Next generation in >wireless< and I buy two for each hand and kick out my normal keyboard!

[@HeliosDrive]

The 5-way switch I'd say is useful when you're playing a game where key movement (i.e. Doom, Quake) is more critical than thumbstick movement (Halo, any driving game, etc.)

[@CMTheHollow]

I ordered mine in october. Still waiting. Cant wait to use it.

[@byteme6620]

I think the design is spot on. Just curious, and plans to make more metal reinforced version?. Yes would make it heavier, but could also increase over all durability.

[@em5470]

Durability? Is this thing meant for war, or just placing your hand on it and pressing buttons?

[@CTAtechdesk]

This is very durable, I don’t show it off as much as I had it unscrewed. Screw it all nice and tight and it’s a well put together piece of kit. 👍🏻

[@Nexter1]

How does your classic have a removable cable?? I thought that was only first introduced with the cyborg?

[@konquerian3065]

I have the compact and it also has the removable cable.

[@iliadz2092]

At the 6:01 mark, the 5mm insert is an insert, thus making it 5 mm higher :) You can remove it according to their website.

[@iliadz2092]

Ah I see below you already answered this. But still, should be noted that it is an option.

[@deltaxsingh]

What colour is your classic one? I was thinking of getting copper but if that's it, I may reconsider lol

[@CTAtechdesk]

That’s black and gold 👍🏻 Death Stranding vibes.

[@boston19801]

Thanks for the review, i have the compact one and i will buy the Cyborg and then sell the one i like less, Cybrog looks very promising.

[@geminiistu]

Is there a way to easily purchase this in ph?

[@ffourteen2442]

For the thumbstick in games where you need to have it mapped as WASD rather than as a real stick, how is it? Does it move smoothly? Like if you were moving forward and then moved diagonally or sideways how much do you have to move the stick for it to register the other key?

[@CTAtechdesk]

Curr early testing all that for the review. Initial impressions are it it is like a controller thumbstick. no problems. but I will keep playing.

[@iliadz2092]

I have used a PS4 controller doing just that, mapping it to wasd in Steam games for years, and it works flawlessly. This uses the x-box thumbstick, so it will be functionally the same. I use the WASD mappings as certain games are hindered when it detects a controller, so I trick it. I was a controller left hand, mouse right hand player for the last 4 years, and now I am getting this as it is exactly what I would envision for that...

[@Nexter1]

It works perfectly with WASD, which is the only way I’ve been using my classic. The diagonal running just works automatically out of the box, if you move it in a diagonal upper left motion it will just automatically be clicking W-A simultaneously. It was wayyyy more seamless than I thought it would be.

[@bellaiscoolcool]

Epic review as always, just wondered, if you had M1 IPad Pro, could you review it if, like I said, if you have one

[@Mavitros]

I have the classic. I had 2 major gripes that look like they fixed. The sideways tilting on the towers is huge. My fingers are not straight in line with the towers on mine. It also looks like there's been an update to the whole joystick itself. I have a previous version even to this guy's classic that has a different joystick. His joystick looks like my xbone controller's joystick. The spacer is also pretty neat. I think I'm sold on upgrading to the new version here soon after some more reviews drop and the "elite" thumbstick situation gets rectified.

[@iliadz2092]

They use the x-box stick on the cyborg. So yes, it's exactly the same. And they are testing the x-box elite thumbstick currently for future.

[@Mavitros]

@@iliadz2092 pretty neat that they use a ps4 mechanism with the xbox stick

[@bpmiller87]

Fyi the riser that makes the cyborg taller is removable if you prefer.

[@Metal-Spark]

Would you recommend the curved of flat palm rest? I like the look of the ergonomics on the curved but I'm not sure how it would feel being locked into one position in real world usage. I plan on using this for work so most likely 6ish hours a day with a few breaks here and there.

[@CTAtechdesk]

Personally I prefer the curved. I can't say for certain if you will prefer it, but it gives me a more natural placement of my hand HTH

[@phillyman36]

One thing to note is the buttons on the pinky rail doesnt slide back all the way(Cyborg). The black part behind the button wont allow it to slide all the way back. .

[@harf4ng]

Does the Cyborg still uses old mini USB or the new USB C ?

[@Reoddadai]

I've ordered mine 2 weeks ago. I'm very eager to how it will work for me...

[@RedFoxRidge]

Thanks for this!

[@SothisTheDog]

Very cool. I bought the Classic a few years ago but just couldn't get used to it, so I went back to my old Logitech G13. Just couldn't get used to claw gripping that thing, but I'm definitely ordering this newer version.

[@lajosbakk3317]

Is it still usb 2.0?

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

I kinda regret buying the compact over the cyborg. The cyborgs thumbstick adjustment is needed. Also make sure you buy the restrictor ring if you order a compact. the shipping is expensive if you decide you want it later. Also I found the flat palm rest to be the better option for me personally. the curved does feel good but while using the thumbstick its not right for me the flat allows me to position my hand better for it.

[@rileyredli8787]

Dude I just bought the compact to find out 10 mins after this one is new and just came out. But Amazon already charged me and I thought they didn’t till it shipped. So ig I’m using the compact. What are restrictor rings

[@rileyredli8787]

@Ace Anime I love my compact. Im still horrible with a mouse for aiming but I think it’s great. I have the cyborg ordered but there’s a wait for it. I only got the cyborg Bc it’s adjusts even more than the compact.

[@wikikiwi3304]

Can it tighten more it looks very wobbly and loose in which one would think it would make it flimsy and more acceptable to breaking. Sorry for my spelling, most likely more than one or two misspellings in there.

[@CTAtechdesk]

Yes they can both be tightened. I had them loose on purpose so I was able to move them in the video without constantly having to adjust them.

So basically none of the improvements we asked for but cost more.

[@CTAtechdesk]

Only €15 though. I guess there could be a 3rd iteration with even more improvements at some point.

[@Dirk_Dandy]

@@CTAtechdesk My concern is the durability of the buttons, no finish on the print ( it's printed with no further work to take off imperfections in manufacturing process), only works on limited games that allow a controller and mouse at a premium uncompetitive price for a product still in development. Don't get me wrong. I want one but if I'm going to pay for top of the line equipment then it better have reached the end of development, have a professional finish and be extremely durable. The company announced they were working on these issues and then released this. You own both so did you see improvements in quality?

[@Rangedkill]

You mentioned the height difference. You can remove the blue puck on the cyborg to make it shorter, it's part of the design.

[@CTAtechdesk]

Removing it makes it more difficult to reach the thumbstick as it’s raised up due to the new mechanism. I would suggest 99% of people will leave it in making it higher. Worth pointing out as it is a clear difference.
