INTRODUCTION
The Azeron gaming keypad is a simple Plug-and-Play controller that sets
up easily with our software. It can function as a joystick or as a keyboard
or in hybrid mode.
The Azeron Cyborg keypad comes with 24 - 29 programmable buttons and
an analog thumbstick for complete control and maneuverability over your
game.
Its ergonomic wrist pad, adjustable key towers and adjustable thumb
module delivers a perfect fit for your arm and minimized fatigue over
extended gameplay.
The main advantage of the Azeron keypad is the ability to move in game
character with one finger –the thumb (either in 360° mode or in WASD
mode, depending what your game supports). All other fingers now can
freely press other buttons while you are moving at the same time. The
buttons are very easy to reach with a little flick of your finger, don’t need
to reach too far and stress your hand.

4. INSTALLING SOFTWARE
First you need to check if your computer recognizes Azeron keypad. Plug
in USB cable in PC. Go to Start –Control Panel –Devices and Printers, and
see if under Devices shows up Azeron keypad.
If it doesn’t, and the LED lights are not turning on, make sure the USB
cable is connected to the keypad properly. The USB cable should look like
this when fully plugged in:

| Manual
We are constantly working on new features and improvements, so make
sure to go to our website (https://www.azeron.eu/downloads/) and
download the latest Azeron software.
When shipping out the keypad to you, it has already pre-installed latest firmware. So
by default you don’t need to install that. You need it only in case you have some
problems and need to reinstall the firmware. Go to HOW TO UPDATE FIRMWARE
MANUALLY for step by step guide.
Go to the directory where you downloaded the software, then double
click on Azeron-setup-vX.XX.X to install the software.
Sometimes Windows may prevent installation, because it is a new
software it doesn’t recognize:

| Manual
Just click on the “More info” and then on “Run anyway”.
After that, the software will start to install. When it’s done, there will be
a shortcut icon on Desktop and in the Start menu.
Plug in the USB cable of the keypad in PC and then launch the Azeron
software.
If you are not sure if your PC has the USB3.0 motherboard drivers installed, then we
would suggest to use USB 2.0 port to avoid unpredictable behavior of the keypad
recognition.

When opening Azeron software, there are 3 options what could show up:
A) When opening software, it may show this screen:
It means that the keypad requires firmware update. At the “Firmware
type” dropdown choose “PC (Base)”.
PC (Base) means that it will install the latest ‘normal’ firmware version. The other
option is XIM, which is a stripped down version of normal firmware for people who use
the Azeron keypad only on consoles via XIM adapter.
Click on “Update” at the bottom right corner.
There will be a loading animation as it downloads the newest version,
wait until you see the following screen:

| Manual
Now take the included hex screwdriver and press the reset button (see
the picture on screen). The keypad will restart.
When the update is complete the software will ask you to calibrate the
thumbstick. Follow the directions on screen to complete the calibration.
In case you are having any problems with installing the firmware or want to update to
other version (not the latest one), then please go to HOW TO UPDATE FIRMWARE
MANUALLY section for step by step guide.

B) The second possible option when software opens up will look like this:
That means that everything is ready, the software and PC recognize the
keypad and everything is up to date. You are ready to configure your
keypad to your liking and start gaming.

| Manual
C) When opening software, it is empty
It means, that the software cannot see the Azeron keypad.
First of all, make sure you have plugged in the USB cable fully in the
keypad. It should look like this:
Another possible solution is to close the software, unplug USB cable, wait

| Manual
until Windows no longer see the keypad, then plug in back the USB cable
(make sure you are plugging in the USB directly in PC and not via USB
hub!), turn on the software again.
If that doesn’t work, you may need to do the clean reset process. You can
find an unofficial guide here:

5. HOW TO USE AZERON SOFTWARE
5.1. CALIBRATING THUMBSTICK
If you will be using your keypad for first time or just recently reinstalled
software or firmware, then you need to calibrate the thumbstick. Here
is steps on how to do it:
Plugin the USB cable of keypad to your PC. Open the Azeron software.
Go to Settings. And press on button “Calibrate” and carefully follow
the instructions on screen.

5.2. INTERFACE OVERVIEW
There are 2 profile types available - on-board and software.
On-board profiles are saved in the keypad memory (so you can use the
keypad on other PC or consoles and it will work with the saved
settings). If you are using only on-board profiles, then Azeron software
doesn’t need to run while gaming, it is used just to setup buttons. If
you are using software profile, then the Azeron software needs to run
in the background while playing the game.

5.3. BUTTON SETUP

up in the Azeron software.
To setup buttons, with your mouse click on the button you wish to setup,
then choose between several modes:

Xinput trigger
Mouse buttons
Joystick buttons
Toggle analog stick mode
Macro
or No action.
5.3.1. Keyboard mode
For keyboard mode you can setup any keyboard button to be used on
Azeron keypad. It is also possible to setup button combinations on one
key press.
Only buttons not possible to setup currently are Right side modification buttons, they
will always default to the Left side Shift, Ctrl or Alt. Also there is no simple way to setup
special buttons, for example F13 F14 etc. But this will be included in the future software
updates.

5.3.2. Xinput button and Xinput trigger

buttons:
Left click

5.3.4. Joystick button
In joystick button mode the keypad will act as a joystick button (direct
input of generic gaming controllers). If you are using Azeron keypad on
consoles through XIM device, then you need to setup all buttons as
joystick buttons.
Upon receiving your Azeron keypad or after reinstalling firmware by default the second
profile in on-board memory will have all buttons setup as joystick buttons. So you can
use Azeron on console via XIM adapter straight out of box.

5.3.5. Joystick D-pad mode
In Joystick D-Pad mode the button can be setup as any function of the D-
Pad (Up, Right, Down Left, Left, and also diagonally, for example Right Up
or Left Down). This also will act as direct input of generic gaming
controllers.
5.3.6. Toggle analog stick mode
On the keypad there is only one thumbstick, but you can setup a button
to switch between two thumbstick settings. In Toggle R/L Joystick mode,
a button press will toggle between 2 settings in the 5.4. THUMBSTICK
SETUP.
If thumbstick is setup as an analog stick, then it will switch between Left
and Right analog stick of controller.
If thumbstick is setup as a keyboard (WASD for example), then you can
setup also what keyboard buttons will be on the second thumbstick (for
example QWES).
