Early reviews of the Cyborg encourage us to believe that we will see the same success with this product.” Iker Saenz, Product Marketing Manager at Omron Electronic Components Europe, added, “It is exciting to be involved in this innovative project from a young startup company especially as it aligns completely with Omron’s values of inclusivity. Imants Daigins concluded, “The success of the Classic and Compact keypads in the market proved to us that Omron switches are the right solution for us and could withstand intensive use, sometimes in an aggressive competitive environment. This is heavy enough to provide a feeling of resistance but light enough to make the switch easy to actuate even when flicking the finger upwards. Omron switches provide the high quality feel they sought, with an operating force of between 140-160gf. Azeron designers seek to provide users with a smooth travel, maintaining the same level of resistance throughout the movement of the key, with a nice crisp click to confirm operation. The feel of the switch is also important to the customer’s experience of the keypad and their success with their games. Since Azeron adopted Omron switches, it has decreased its switch repairs by about 98%. They have found that D2F switches offer the durability Azeron and its users expect. Azeron evaluated several alternatives before selecting Omron as their principal supplier of switches. Of course, it is also essential to Azeron’s reputation that the switches are tough enough to withstand fast, frequent keypresses over long periods. The key requirements for Azeron are durability and the ‘feel’ of the product to the user. You can feel the difference the first time you use the Azeron keypad, and the effect doesn’t disappear over time.”

Influencers and tech reviewers with thousands of followers have confirmed that the Omron switches are high quality. Within the Cyborg, 23 Omron D2F switches provide the electromechanical interface.Ĭommenting, Imants Daigins, Product Designer and Founder of Azeron, said, “We have received universally good feedback on the switches since we standardised them in 2020, so decided to continue to use them in the Cyborg, our most versatile and flexible ever keypad.

Other features include a choice of two types of thumb stick modules. This gives 24 or 29 programmable keys grouped around the user’s fingers and thumb so that a quick squeeze, push or flick is all that is required to trigger an action – with four or more keys accessible to each finger. The Cyborg has a redesigned button layout, with an extra button row and a side button for the little finger. It offers completely new features and unrivalled ergonomics. In addition, the Azeron keypad enables gaming for people who are lefthanded or who have disabilities preventing them from using a traditional keyboard or gamepad.
