3. ADJUST YOUR AZERON CYRO By using the included Hex screwdriver, it is possible to adjust button and thumb module positions for your hand. Page | 6 | Manual...
Page 8
You can swap included thumbstick caps and put on or off the restrictor ring, just by pulling the cap 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. Page | 7 | Manual...
4. INSTALLING SOFTWARE First you need to check if your computer recognizes Azeron device. 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
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: Just click on the “More info”...
Page 11
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 device requires firmware update. Click on “Update” at the bottom right corner. There will be a loading animation as it downloads the newest version.
Page 12
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 device and everything is up to date. You are ready to configure your Cyro to your liking and start gaming.
Page 13
It means, that the software cannot find the Azeron device. First of all, make sure you have plugged in the USB cable fully in the Cyro. If you are using non original cable, make sure you are using a USB-C cable...
Page 14
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 Azeron Cyro, if you wish to configure your Cyro device or unplug the other devices and leave only the Cyro.
On-board profiles are saved in the device 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 device, 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 Cyro. 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.
The higher the number the faster it will scroll up. 5.2.8 Media keys Choose Media keys if you want to control your music, videos or PC volume with the Cyro. Page | 19 | Manual...
Next Previous 5.2.9. Profile switch You can setup any of the Cyro buttons to act as a profile switch. While holding the profile switch, you can scroll the mouse wheel to switch between profiles in the on-board memory (or favorite profiles in the software).
For example, in the picture above, we are editing button #12 as a switch button and we will set it up to switch to another software profile, which is called “ED2”. Now when pressing button #12 on the Cyro, the software will switch to profile named “ED2” and will use the keybinds that are stored there.
Page 23
If we choose ON at the option “Switch held binds on layer change” then the held keys from the current profile binds will be released and the new profile binds for the pressed keys will automatically be pressed on profile change. For example, if on Profile 1 we hold button A, it spams AAAAAA, then we press profile switch button without releasing A, then it will start to spam BBBBBB from the Profile 2.
Page 24
3. Then under Layering Select Profile 2, which will act as our 2nd layer for buttons. 4. Turn ON the option “Set profile button #1 to switch back to current profile” to be able to switch back to Profile 1 with the same button.
5.2.13. Macro This mode is not available in On-board memory profile! It is possible to setup macros on device 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: 5.2.14. 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.
5.2.15. 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:...
5.2.16. 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. It has 2 modes – on second press and time out. On second press – if this is activated then the keybind will be pressed down and held...
5.3. CALIBRATING THUMBSTICK If you will be using your Cyro for the first time or just recently reinstalled software or firmware, then you need to calibrate the thumbstick. The analog joystick deadzones are calibrated independently of profiles, and are saved on the hardware. The calibration will get rid of jitter, drift and incorrect center offset.
Page 30
There are 3 types of calibration settings: Standard calibration process involves reading the maximum values your analog stick can generate. Adds upper and lower deadzones, calculates center offset. Center offset calculates the center offset based on the maximum and minimum analog stick axis values. Recommended for hall effect joystick owners with restrictor ring.
2. Put on the restrictor ring, concave part downwards. 3. Put on the thumbstick cap back on. 4. In Azeron software go to Settings – Analog settings - Calibrate 5. Go through the Calibration process with Standard or Center offset method.
5.5. THUMBSTICK SETUP Thumbstick has several modes – it can act as: analog stick emulate keyboard buttons hybrid mode analog mouse wheel move mouse cursor Xbox360 joystick will work the same as an Xbox controller analog stick. It has 360°...
Page 33
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 34
In analog mouse wheel mode, the thumbstick will work as vertical and horizontal mouse wheel. If you move the thumbstick forward and back, it will act as a vertical mouse wheel. If you move the thumbstick left or right, then it will act as a horizontal mouse wheel. It also reacts on how far the thumbstick has been moved by scrolling faster or slower.
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
If you are not sure what deadzone settings you should use, just go through the Calibrate Deadzones wizard, and the software will choose the best settings for your thumbstick. See 5.3. CALIBRATING THUMBSTICK Sensitivity setting controls how sensitive thumbstick feels. The lower the value the more sensitive is the thumbstick.
5.6 ADVANCED THUMBSTICK SETTINGS At the top of the thumbstick window it is possible to switch to more advanced thumbstick settings. Enable eight directional zones will work only if the thumbstick is set to Keyboard mode. By enabling this setting you will be able to change keybinds for diagonal thumbstick directions.
Page 38
For example, if both angles are set to maximum, it is possible to eliminate diagonal keybinds. You can move exclusively only in WASD directions without AS, WD, etc. in-between directions. Enabling analog smoothing can help to get rid of thumbstick jitter.
5.7 PROFILES ON-BOARD MEMORY To switch between the on-board memory profiles, you need to setup one of the buttons as Profile switch (by default it is the closest pinky button) and then while holding it, move the scroll wheel. Which LED lights lit ...

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 Copy To and choose in which profile to copy the keybinds or choose to create a new profile in the on-board memory.
Then when we finish playing the game and close it, keypad will switch back to “SolidWorks” profile, because it is set as default. In the Settings you can turn ON an option that, when launching Azeron software, it checks what software/games are already opened.
