The Azeron Cyborg 2 is a unique and innovative gaming accessory that combines the best features of a gaming keyboard with the ergonomic design and thumbstick movement of a gamepad. If you’re tired of the traditional WASD keys or simply want a fresh approach to controlling your games, the Cyborg 2 might just be your next favourite tool. We are huge fans of Azeron – I use my original Cyborg all the time – but the new improvements just may tempt me to upgrade!
What’s New in Cyborg 2?
- Hall Effect Thumbstick: Precision Redefined
- Unlike standard potentiometric joysticks, the Cyborg 2 features a Hall Effect thumbstick. This technology uses contactless sensors, ensuring that the magnet never physically touches the sensor. The result? Enhanced durability and—most importantly—no more stick drift.
- Increased Mappable Keys
- The original Azeron Cyborg was no slouch, but the Cyborg 2 takes it up a notch. It boasts 30 easy-to-access mappable keys, with an additional one on the small tower. Whether you’re mapping complex combos or quick actions, you’ve got plenty of options at your fingertips.
- Reworked Top Keys
- The top keys have undergone a redesign for quicker and more comfortable pressing. Imagine knuckle-friendly keys that respond precisely when you need them. These subtle improvements can make a world of difference during intense gaming sessions.
- Omron Switches for Consistent Actuation
- The Cyborg 2 now utilises Omron switches, known for their consistent and precise actuation force. These switches are built to withstand a whopping 50 million clicks—perfect for those marathon gaming sessions where every click matters.
- More Profiles, More Customisation
- Store up to six game profiles directly on the keypad. Switch between profiles instantly: one press for the next, two presses for the previous, and a hold to return to the first. Plus, you can customise RGB lighting for each profile, because who doesn’t want a little extra flair?
- Future-Proof Design
- The Cyborg 2’s new main board design allows for future upgrades—both in software and as modular add-ons. Azeron is thinking ahead, ensuring that your investment remains relevant even as gaming technology evolves.
- USB-C Connector
- Finally, the Cyborg 2 embraces modern connectivity with its reversible USB-C plug. No more fumbling around trying to insert the cable the right way—it works whichever way you plug it in.
If you’ve recently purchased the Azeron Cyborg it’s not possible to exchange it for the Cyborg 2, but one of the best new features, the hall effect thumbstick, can be swapped into the original Cyborg.
