![]() ![]() It feels solidly built, and after initially setting up the Cyborg to fit my hand, all I have to do is plug it in and play. My initial impression of the build quality is very good. This makes the Azeron 3D Customizer an invaluable tool if you’re looking to make your keypad match your existing setup. If you check out the screengrab of my customisation and compare it with the real deal, it looks almost exactly the same. You can experiment with all of the different options and keypads, as well as get a good idea of how the finished product will look, and it also shows you an updated price to reflect the various options you’ve chosen. I highly recommend having a play with the customiser. The tower without the additional thumbstick has slightly more flexibility in how you can position it, but I found there was plenty of range of motion already and the additional buttons are hugely convenient.

If you find a pattern layout you like, you can then edit it to match your favourite colourway.Įvery component can be customised, right down to the LED profile indicator buttons and even a custom nameplate (max 8 characters).

The Azeron Cyborg is perfect for gamers with mobility limitations, too.
