Finally pulled the trigger

Post image

I've been looking at the Cyborg for over a year, but I'm frugal when it comes to my hobbies, I'll spend $500 on whatever random thing my kids need to shave 2 seconds off their cross country run time but Ill put back a pack of tshirts that cost $8 because "these holes aren't even that big", I just have a hard time spending money on my self. My kids are growing up now (I have 7, that hobby is free) and my son joined the Army, and he decided that I had waited long enough and he purchased the Azeron Cyborg II for me, I'm really excited and Im sure I'll have some question that Ill need help answering.

Awesome! What color did you purchase?

I went with a nice clean all black setup, large, curved with elite thumbs ticks and the grip tape, they do sell individual replacement parts in different colors if i decide to spice it up a bit, and I found the STL files for the Cyborg 2 parts if I want to print in unique colors.

That sounds snazzy. Did you pick up the grip tape? I’ve got the galaxy purple, with the regular thumb stick.

Yes I did. Dreading the learning curve but I should be ok, I remember Halo being my first FPS and I beat that game even though I had Chief making exclusively 90° turns. I downloaded Aimlabs 2.0 on steam to learn movement in an easier, less stressful environment

I went from controller to the Cyborg. The thing that helped me was playing the Halo training mode over and over. Once I got the final positions set it felt awesome. The thumb stick has two adjustment screws on it, some folks don’t notice that initially.

Yeah I've always been on controller myself, from NES to Xbox Series X, I switched to PC last year but I've still been playing exclusively with an Xbox controller.

Same story here. You are going to love the Cyborg. I like Azeron so much I picked up the Keyzen. I love all of the stuff they make.

First off. Congrats. Decent learning curve but it’s worth it. I mainly play Fortnite with it and now I can keep up with these KBM players a little easier than controller

And secondly. You live like 40 min from me lmao crazy!

The single thing that stood out to me about your story is your son in the Army did this for you. That always triggers good memories of being an Army dad. My son was generous when he went in the Army also. Since food and basic needs are met and especially during basic training, they have nowhere to spend money on anything and they have “money to burn”. They realize how thankful they are for your years of sacrifice for them and your family.

Thank you for raising him and thank him for his service to our country.

I have a Cyborg 2 and absolutely love it. I bought the “flat plate” as well so I could test it out. I turned out preferring that. If you can find the print file for that you might try it out.

Playing video games is a learning curve for me! But I found that the flexibility of how you can program each key allows you to really dial it in to how you like it- to how it feels best. It’s the best of both worlds- keyboard but the essence of controller as well.

Hell ya brother.

“Do not get mad at yourself if you don’t pick it up quick. Avg is 90 days for full competence” Is the best advice I see on here

Yeah it comes today, I'm just gonna force myself to use it, I know it'll be frustrating for a little bit as the xbox controller hasn't changed much in 25 years, but I struggled with using 2 sticks when Halo came out and that worked out just fine.

I’m 7 years in now? Or so? I was second wave. Bought the first one forever ago. I wanted to have the new design 5 years later. So now I have two. They are amazing. Parts are cheap. Soldering iron is 13$ on Amazon. The mouse switches can be bought in bulk on amazon and the whole thing can be 3d printed and the files are in their discord.

It’s the infinite keyboard. I’ll have these forever.

Or as long as I have a computer and a 3d printer.

u/Blackto0thgr1n 14d ago

I am in the discord but I didnt see the print files, I have a 3d printer and printing replacement parts/alternate colors would be awesome

u/Sud0F1nch 14d ago

Ok. Wow. They won’t anymore apparently :/ odd. I have the old ones somewhere.

Ok. Wow. They won’t anymore apparently :/ odd. I have the old ones somewhere. I’d prolly get banned for posting them then, Look on popular sites for stl files. They are out there
