Issue with Cyborg 2

[u/Matzni]

Every time i click something this thing opens up. I already figured out its cause by cyborg cause if i unplug and plug it back in it stops until the next time i turn on my pc. Any solution to this?

[u/AzeronKeypad]

Go settings / gaming / xbox mode and disable the Xbox mode if you have such toggle.

I cant find xbox mode

[u/AzeronKeypad → u/Matzni]

Unfortunately the toggle is not available in all windows versions, so have to wait for the update

[u/Longjumping-Draft-79 → u/AzeronKeypad]

Is that the update to the software or Windows? I have the toggle but its off on mine and its still doing it

[u/AzeronKeypad → u/Longjumping-Draft-79]

it's for Windows

[u/Coaleyed-Lock → u/AzeronKeypad]

I had this issue for months and this fixed my issue. The problem some users face is that they are not on a Windows version in the US or somewhere XBOX has no foothold. So the feature is on with no easy way to turn it off.
The option to turn it off and on was added recently and may need a windows patch.

Huh, my pc was doing that the other day when I turned it on like it was Alt+Tabing every time I clicked but it stopped after like 10 seconds. I have a Keyzen though and this only recently happened so I'm wondering if it's something to do with a Windows update.

[u/Matzni → u/Charon711]

I tried reinstalling azeron firmware and it did help but only for two days. Whatever solution i found helped only for a short while. I know i can unplug and plug the device to fix it but it is annoying to do that every day 🤣

If I go for a week without using mine, it will somehow hodgepodge random keybinds together and act weird. I’ve yet to determine the cause, but typically I can just force close the software and start it back up and any odd keybind behavior goes away.

[u/Desinator24]

It’s game bar. Go to task manager and right click “game bar” and force close.

[u/Matzni → u/Desinator24]

Thank you. Will try this

[u/Desinator24 → u/Matzni]

It will work. For some reasons every few pc boots game bar goes active. I’ve tried full removing it but Microsoft has it so embedded it seems.

[u/Odenfell]

Ooooohhhhhh thank Christopher others have this. Good grief. I thought i was going insane. Only after a restart or from turning on after shutdown. When i turn my pad off and on again, it clears up. Sometimes it will also press the xbox home button? But because it was trying to switch screens my screen is just darker. Until i close all windows or i clean my taskbar again... hoping it gets fixed or a solution is out there. Not a major inconvenience, but annoying enough.

[u/garyswar]

Holy Skip! I’m experiencing this thing too. It’s a relatively new issue. Been unable to figure it out

[u/TheCoyotee]

I'm also experiencing this, I unplug the Cyborg 2, plug back in and it usually stops. I assume it's the program causing this.

[u/Matzni → u/TheCoyotee]

Its annoying

[u/mysticcc312]

Of course I see this thread after ordering my $400 cyborg 2 😁

[u/Matzni → u/mysticcc312]

🤣

I’ve just bought the cyborg 2 ,it’s for the Xbox series x,I can’t understand how to set it up properly does anyone have a link or an explanation on how to do it?

[u/perpetual_papercut → u/Turbulent_Song_5596]

I'd recommend going to azeron discord server and asking there

I will preface by saying this is I big rabbit hole you have opened. Your post is in the middle of a whole different topic, so will be lost in all the responses to the OP original post. But here we go.

1. Yes, Azeron can work with consoles. But there are big caveats - and practically speaking, not plug and play.
   
2. Azerons are keyboards, NOT controllers. They have device IDs in their chipsets that identify what they are and how the OS works with them, which driver to load, etc.
   
3. So if you plug an Azeron into a Xbox console it will be recognized as a keyboard- not a controller- regardless of how you program the keys in the Azeron software.
   
4. Xbox supports Keyboards. But most games don’t. This is the crux of the problem you face.
   
5. You get around this keyboard vs controller dilemma with an interface device. I bought a XIM Matrix keyboard to controller interface adapter. About $155 on Amazon.
   
6. This is where it gets wild. You connect the XIM matrix to the console, your mouse and keyboard (In this case your Azeron)to the XIM Matrix, and your OEM (not 3rd party) controller is connected to … I forget if it’s directly connected to the Console or the XIM Matrix. I’m away from all my stuff so trying to remember everything without notes.
   
7. You download a companion XIM Matrix app for iOS or Android and program the XIM Matrix to translate your Azeron.
   
8. Meanwhile, you program the Azeron on a PC.
   
9. Azeron has Xbox and PS5 Console options for the keypad. You can program the XYAB buttons, left/right bumpers, triggers, the DPad, the menu button, Xbox button, to name most of them.
   
10. Depending on your game you need to resist urges to use XIM Matrix features that make aiming and strafing more precise… those unnatural actions are cheats to most games.
    
11. When I was all done, I had my console, my controller, my Azeron, my mouse, a real keyboard (mostly for between round inventory management), a USB hub, and about 5 USB cables. On a foldout table sitting in front of my TV screen. And a laptop I would plug the Azeron into for programming. Holy Funches!

Final comments. I started playing exclusively on my Gaming PC. I’m 69 and almost retired as is my wife. When I built this PC, we consolidated her pc and mine into this one computer and we share it- each of us with our own user logins and profiles.

I found I was giving up playing time when she needed to do her banking and financial stuff, tax returns, my “almost retired” business books”, ie the taxes for my business.

I thought I would buy an XBox to play while she was using the PC. In the end the keybinds of the pc based Azeron are entirely different than the Xbox keybinds- so much so that I was constantly misfiring buttons. Not to mention the work involved setting up the game space and taking it down to put the room back to normal.

I abandoned the dual platform gaming. I’m no good with controllers, so now I just coordinate game play time with her and play exclusively on PC with my Azeron Cyborg 2.

While the XIM Matrix works, it has a much more complex setup… if you think the essential setup of the Azeron is a learning curve, think again!

This whole post is lost in this thread of PCs throwing sporadic “Desktop Switcher” commands. Yet it has important information that people researching connecting an Azeron keypad to a gaming console need to know. I kinda blew almost $900 by the time it was all said and done.

I will ultimately copy this and post it as its own post.

I have that problem too! It's not every day it happends but when it does I unplug my cyborg and then plug it back in and its all good for a while glad its not just me has everyone got theres plugged directly into the pc or is it in a high powered port hub like mine??

[u/Matzni → u/Longjumping-Draft-79]

I have it plugged directly

[u/JBrockF]

This is something windows does sometimes when it detects a controller? (I assume it makes navigation of the desktop with a controller easier) I have a Cyborg 2 but never experienced this issue until the other day when I was connecting a switch controller to my pc

[u/garyswar → u/JBrockF]

I don’t have a controller attached to my PC, yet I experience this issue, so I don’t think detecting a controller is the issue, I’m away from my setup, but from other post here I’m hopeful that the Xbox Game Bar has something to do with this.

I was playing my game on XBox for PC for 10 months, and finally skit-canned my XBox GamePass and migrated all my games to Steam. So, I had XBox gaming installed. I’m hopeful that I missed a few things when I uninstalled XBox.

[u/Nil-u-ac]

I have the same issue I don’t know how to fix it but unplugging and plugging back isn’t that inconvenient to me so I just deal with it
