By using the included Hex screwdriver, it is possible to adjust key and thumb module positions for your hand. You can swap included thumbstick caps just by pulling them off with a little force: Or if you have chosen the Elite thumbstick, you can swap the magnetic caps easily and adjust the thumbstick tension with the included tool.
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.
Page 10
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 you need to install new firmware only if the software asks you to do it.
Page 11
After the installation is done, 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...
Page 12
When opening Azeron software, there are 4 options what could show up: A) When opening software, it may show this screen: It means that the keypad requires firmware update. Click on “Update” at the bottom right corner. There will be a loading animation as it downloads the newest version.
Page 13
After firmware installation the keypad will restart. Wait until software connects with your keypad. When the firmware update is complete the software will ask you to calibrate the thumbstick. Follow the directions on screen to complete the calibration. Page | 12 | Manual...
Page 14
B) The second possible option when software opens up will look like this: This means that everything is ready, the software and PC recognizes the keypad and everything is up to date. You are ready to configure your keypad to your liking and start gaming. Page | 13 | Manual...
Page 15
C) Another option when opening software, it may be 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:...
Page 16
D) Another option is when software is asking to choose the device you want to setup, if you have plugged in multiple Azeron devices. Choose the Device you wish to configure.
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 be opened while gaming, it is used just to setup buttons.
5.2. KEYBIND SETUP When pressing button on the keypad, the corresponding button will light up in the Azeron software and execute the keybind. To setup buttons, with your mouse click on the button you wish to setup, then on the popup window choose between several modes.
5.2.1. Keyboard mode For keyboard mode you can setup a keyboard button to be used on Azeron keypad. It is also possible to setup button combinations on one key press (for example, Shift + Ctrl + Alt + E). Only buttons not possible to setup currently are Right side modification buttons, they will always default to the Left side Shift, Ctrl or Alt.
XIM device (or similar adapter), 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 generic joystick buttons. So you can use Azeron on console via XIM adapter straight out of box.
5.2.5. 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.
If you enable mode Toggle only on hold, then the second thumbstick settings will work only while the button on the keypad is held down. 5.2.7. Mouse wheel Any of the buttons can function as a mouse wheel (either horizontal or vertical).
Next Previous Stop Play / Pause Mute Volume Up Volume Down 5.2.9. Input sequence This mode is not available in On-board memory profile! It is possible to setup several keybinds on one button which are changing in sequence.
Page 24
For example, in the picture above, we are editing button #1 as a profile switch button and we will set it up to switch to another software profile, which is called “ED2”. Now when pressing button #1 on the keypad, the keypad will switch to profile named “ED2”...
Page 25
How to setup layering step by step: 1. Create 2 profiles in software section (layering will not work in on- board memory). We will name them Profile 1 and Profile 2: 2. Activate Profile 1, select on the button you wish to use as layer shift.
5.2.11. Macro This mode is not available in On-board memory profile! It is possible to setup macros on keypad buttons. When choosing Macro mode for the button, it is possible to program several sequential keyboard keypresses, mouse buttons and delays in the sequence you wish. You can also choose how long is the keypress and delays in milliseconds (avoid using too small values for delays and keypresses, otherwise it may not register).
You can also change the default macro duration in the settings: 5.2.12. No action mode Right click on the button to delete any keybind on it and make it “empty” and do nothing. Or press “Unbind All” at the top to remove all keybinds and labels in current profile.
5.2.13. Button labels You can setup custom names for each button for easier overview of your keybinds. Similar to this (white color is keybinds, darker color is custom button names): To setup custom name - click on the button and then write the name in field “Custom name”: In the software Settings under Appearance you can choose to:...
5.2.14. Advanced settings – Release behavior By opening the advanced section, it is possible to specify how the button will be released after it is pressed down. On second press – if this is activated then the keybind will be pressed down and held until you press the button for 2 time.
Here is steps on how to do it: Plugin the USB cable of keypad to your PC. Open the Azeron software. Go to Settings. Make sure the restrictor ring is removed from the thumbstick! (If you are using software version 1.5 and up, then you...
3. Remove the thumbstick cap 4. Put on the restrictor ring, make sure the concave part is on the thumbstick side. 5. Put back on the thumbstick cap 6. In the Azeron software go in the thumbstick settings: Page | 30 | Manual...
Page 32
7. Take the upper deadzone and lower it to ~120 (or around 60% in newer software versions). Make sure the thumbstick makes perfect circle at the edge when moved around. If not, then lower the deadzone even more. If you wish to setup restrictor ring for all your profiles simultaneously, then instead of adjusting the thumbstick setting for each individual profile you need to go to Settings ->...
If a game doesn’t support simultaneous input or is supported only partially, then the game user interface may flicker between Xbox controller and keyboard&mouse interface when trying to use Azeron keypad together with mouse. In that case you can setup analog stick with keyboard keybinds, such as WASD to have a better gaming experience.
Page 34
In Keyboard mode analog stick will work in 8 directions with keybinds provided for 4 directions, such as WASD or similar. If you move the thumbstick in diagonal between W and D, then it will work as W+D at the same time (if it does not, you need to calibrate the thumbstick).
Page 35
(even your cat sneezing) and it may have a flickering motion in Azeron software and a character in video game may move around even if you are not touching the thumbstick. In that case you need to set the lower deadzone value higher until it stops moving by itself (for example something between 2%-13% is a good value or 10 –...
Page 36
here the settings you change for the thumbstick will add up to the settings that were applied via calibration tool. Upper deadzone determines how far is the outer diameter of the thumbstick travel zone. The higher the value the smaller the outer circle. So the higher the value, the less movement you will need with your thumb for...
To work with software profiles, you need to turn them on by pressing ON button near “Profiles:”. Note! When using software profiles, the Azeron software must be running in the background while playing the game. If you are using Software profiles, it is possible to choose 2 profiles as favorite and then switch between them with Profile switch similar as on- board memory profiles.
Page 38
The list of profiles can be reordered by drag & dropping with your mouse. Any software profile can also be sent to On-board memory, by pressing OBM#1 or OBM#2. Note that Macros or layers will not work in on-board memory profiles. At the bottom of the profile list is button + Copy Profile, which will create a new profile by copying currently selected profile.
PC and you can choose a game or software from that list. In the Settings you can turn on an option that, when launching Azeron software, it checks what software/games are already opened. Page | 38...

If you enable Start with Windows, then whenever you turn on your PC, the Azeron software will open automatically at the startup. It is possible to minimize the Azeron software to Windows system tray (at the bottom near the clock) by enabling option Close button minimizes software to the tray.
Page 45
IMPORT / EXPORT At the Import/Export option it is possible to Export and Import all your profiles. You can back up all of your profiles in .JSON file, to prevent any accidental deletion when reinstalling software or Windows, updating firmware, etc. You can also export/import individual profiles – see how to here: 5.6.1 PROFILE IMPORT/EXPORT Note! Profiles that are in on-board memory will not be exported! Only software...
Page 46
And the other option at the bottom is for changing the default macro duration for each macro step. With analog throttle it is possible to control how often inputs are sent from your thumbstick (only in keyboard mode). The higher the number, the more milliseconds are between each input sent.

7.2.2 Not registering any input in PC Step 1 – in Azeron software go to Settings -> Troubleshooting -> Utilities and try any of the reset buttons. Step 2 – if that doesn’t help, then we will need to check if the wire is properly connected to the button with input issue.
If the issue doesn’t occur, it was caused by a bad / corrupted profile Step 3 – in Azeron software go to Settings -> Advanced -> adjust the button throttle slider to higher numbers until the ghost clicks disappear.
Open the game, then on Azeron switch to profile with the thumbstick set to keyboard mode and then switch back to xbox 360 mode. Make sure no other controllers are connected (or any device that works with Xinput, analog buttons etc.).

5.3 CALIBRATING THUMBSTICK Step 2 – then need to reinstall Azeron software / firmware. Make sure you are installing the correct device firmware (for example, do not install Classic keypad firmware on Cyborg keypad). See this section after Step 5 on how to reset.
Another fix could be to re-seat the wires that are coming from thumbstick to Azeron mainboard – disconnect the thumbstick wires (X, Y, 5v and ground) and re-connect them again, making sure the wire is making a clean contact and no insulation is in the way.
You can plug in the USB again while the palmrest is open to test the thumbstick, just make sure you are not touching any of the wires or board while your Azeron is plugged in!!! If you are experiencing further issues, please email us on info@azeron.eu 7.3.4 Thumbstick is physically getting stuck...
