I am not great in games. At least, not on the computer. I have no efficiency to use the mouse and keyboard.
This is true – I play Everything With a console.
At least, I play all the usual types with a console. Even about three years ago, the arrangement. There may be a non -zero number of computers players who might shout silently (or loudly) about the feasibility of playing some games with a representative stick, but I haven’t had any problem.
Then I decided to play PVP games. On the computer.
One day, I play Sea thieves Sugarly from a boat in water (my personality, not me), then the next day, I try to line up with a human opponent definitely know how he is not shot.
It didn’t take a long time to realize that I needed a lot of help, and this help had to come either from my friends or divine intervention, because I was definitely not able to help myself. So I did what everyone is doing while thinking about wishing. I bought things to fix my problem. Specifically, I bought the strangest keyboard for the most strange games, which can be said to be the most wonderful.
Enter the Azeon Cyborg game keyboard

My problem with the mouse and the keyboard is the keyboard. For any reason, the use of WASD keys for mobility still clicks in my mind. Add in the surrounding keys to stimulate the capabilities and communication in my hands and festivals that come out of a window.
Then in April 2023, R/Buildapc theme on Reddit. Among all the recommendations of the wonderful computer accessories that were the same for Azeron Cyborg. It looked completely crazy (and came out directly from the Terminator movie), but what caught my attention was Actual thumb.
During the first few weeks of slaughter on the Internet (Lee, not my privilege), I was saddened how I have a group of left -wing navigation, but the goal of the goal would combine my best in my Aradi. But only Tartarus Razer and Keypads only had Pads, not 360 complete representative sticks.
I took this new discovery as a sign, especially when I looked at AZERON and saw a kindly used model of $ 140. (A new one costs about 200 USD) It may be despair so that the weak link on my team has not added an incentive to buy.
Twenty -five dollars in shipping and a handful of a few days later, I finished two ends safely from Latvia and landed on the PCWorld office threshold. This is when I learned some difficult facts about myself.
A new problem appears
Alaina YEE / Mabek
Azeron Cyborg comes in flavors: Standard, which places a set of buttons over your fingers, and compressed, which put these buttons on shorter posts. You can also set Thumbstick on the standard form – a feature that was completely reduced when I bought my modest models used in brilliant purple.
This keyboard is amazing and Adjustable. You can get 29 appointment switchs in general, which includes the Rocker 5 directions and Thumbstick. Keymarks drawing is very simple – just download the AZERON program and start setting the keys – and you will get two separate files that you can program. The main presses are also satisfied, with satisfactory reactions.
For games played (primarily Overwatch 2I did not use until all 13 buttons immediately. Part of this had a relationship with suitability. Even after weeks, my Pinky cannot take advantage of its nearby keys easily. This is although I buy younger than the keyboard sizes, and also disturbs the sites of each major tower. You can change the distance and divergence, but I never found the perfect sweet spot for all of my hands.
But I can’t blame the new use of the new, which overcomes the memory of the very fixed muscles on the console.
I am the worst enemy, as usual
Alaina YEE / Mabek
During my formative years, I played the role of platforms and adventure games almost to exclude everything else-and it seems to appear. A major issue in PVP games is the movement. I walk in straight lines, as the worst (the best) does. But platforms, my favorite type, Rewards This type of fixed tracking. This is what you spent countless hours of improvement, while it also lacks exposure to species (and game patterns) that reward the opposite.
So the first problem: I don’t think I deal with it.
The second problem: the movement to get rid of the analog stick feels mistake for me.
Unfortunately, having a Azeron game keyboard does nothing to solve these first two issues, because it contains a thumb. In fact, I did not even discover the second until I forced myself to try to use WASD in low risks Overwatch match. I should have seen my face when I realized how I felt encouraged the effort when clicking on two distinctive key, instead of the fluctuation of the stick back and forth.
The third problem: I am not used to using fingers outside my thumb and index finger.
As a standard control user, all I use at all is two fingers for each hand. Sometimes, my middle fingers may be brought if I have to press each of the bumper buttons and buttons at the same time, but they are rare. (An educator controller like Xbox Elite contains more buttons, and therefore may require more fingers, but I do not use this type.)
Fourth problem: The controls are distributed differently from the console.
Azeron Cyborg does not change the number of jobs you perform with your left hand to prepare the mouse and keyboard. It only provides them with a different shape factor. Compared to the console, it is contrary to what you used to. On a control unit, I use my right hand for a representative stick (camera angle/quarrel), four face buttons (which usually plan to choose weapons, re -download, jump, win in the shooter), and a group of shoulder buttons and operator (capabilities). On the mouse and keyboard, my right hand gets click (basic capacity), right mouse click (secondary capacity or zooming), and the scroll wheel (selection of weapons/quarrels). At least, it is on the primary mouse, which is all I have.
A long short story, I have a lot of training to do it and the new muscle memory for construction if you want to get anywhere in PVP.
How you shook

Although Arton was unable to cover the skills that I never touched, I am not disappointed. I knew it might be a long shot. (I previously went through with photography equipment.) I think it is a great keyboard, and I love the amount you can customize. This includes what it looks, too. If you are buying new, you can choose the color (a lot of fun shades!), Palm comfort style, thumb style, and any designed hand (right or left).
And Cyborg He has It is done more than providing an insight into the inability to adapt to the mouse and the keyboard. My playing method with HitsCan characters in Overwatch Better – I don’t miss many shots with Anna when playing support, for example. Do not understand me wrong, I still absorb. But I can see glimpses about the shape of life when it is not completely absorbed. It is a beautiful meter to grow up and more solid, which nullified reactions and made micro -thumb movements more difficult. I once dreamed of getting half of them like former colleagues on the console – they can rise against personal computers, which surprises developers during experimental offers. But this is far away from me now.
My only real complaint about Sipurg is that I bought the wrong model. The thumb for the built -in version is not adjustable, and for me tight, it is placed very little so that I do not feel comfortable. Where the trend key sits, this is the place where I want to be Thumbstick. Get pain in my hands after playing for 90 minutes or more. If azeron (or a member of the community) will issue a 3D printer file to reside in the opposite of Thumbstick and Rocker Switch parking, I think I can the game for a longer period.
Regardless, CYBorg has made the mouse and the keyboard look less like the pelvis or swim suggestion. Perhaps one day I will reach the basic efficiency. But so far, this day has not yet come. Meanwhile, I now have a floats to prevent me from drowning.
(September 2025): This experience was originally documented with Azeron Cyborg Compact early in the trip, and a return in the spring and summer of 2023. In the two years since then, I can say that I am still happy with investment – and I really acted like a flotation while learning to swim.
I have explained four problems faced while playing in games like Overwatch: It is not just a calendar, which hates the feeling of a representative stick, and the use of more fingers than the Xbox or PlayStation control, and adapting to a different layout of the buttons in relation to the console console. The first two cases are still in place, but I have since amended with the new appointment and the way I played a little. (I am no longer ranked as a 5 -year -old!)
I also mentioned that I regret not buying the model with an adjustable mode in Thumbstick. I still feel this way, but after Azeron released a magnetic position for the observer, this helped reduce a lot of pressure on my thumb.

In general, the improvements I have in mechanical skill made me more curious and ready to give the movement in WASD. (I just picked up the Lemokey X0 games with a deep discount, based on the advice of my colleague and minimum the resident mechanical gaming keyboard Michael Crader.) I also started exploring the idea of trying the appropriate mouse mat and other games mouse to see if it improves my goal. As a person who has a very deep control unit root, I have always assumed that my kinetic skills were only responsible for my weak mechanical skills in computer games. I did not realize that some of them depend on your equipment and settings.
I feel less tired about the idea of making a full switch to the keyboard and mouse games. Although I do not know if I will jump successfully, the attempts will be somewhat entertaining, I am sure. For other people, at least.
