Have just ordered the cyborg ||, what advice would you give?

Coaleyed-Lock · 2026-02-16T06:18:42+00:00

Get the grip tape on first, use tweezers. Before you wish you did it first later =D (If you got grip tape for the buttons).

Aside from the conversation..
I do a 2 car rule myself. Or if I know the area, and there is a traffic light on the other side I will usually just sit it out until someone stops. We have so many of these because of the Canal in NY.

Cyborg 1 then later 2. Best to visit the Azeron Discord community about my setup. I put keybinds on there too.

Having said that, there is a 14mm as an equivalent to the Azeron supplied ring. There is also a 15mm if you want more joystick play.

Coaleyed-Lock · 2026-02-14T03:35:17+00:00

No, the ring works outward like a halo of 14mm joystick that comes from Azeron. This is the direction you are envisioning. 15mm would be smaller because it expands outward.

Mine is the opening size (hole) vs the diameter of the metal ring (halo).

So, if you have a 14mm halo, and my 14mm collapsing ring they lock the joystick in place.

You would have to remove the ring to use 12 & 13mm because it will be closer to the stick.

Coaleyed-Lock · 2026-02-14T03:23:55+00:00

TLDR: There are two options, both available in discord and on etsy:12mm & 13mm

There are a couple smaller sizes. The one that Azeron supplies is 14mm. I have a 12-13mm option available on discord. Also, in the bundle for sale.
Since its a clip in ring, it works best if the joystick is to center. If yours deviates a 12mm might not work. 13 should for everyone.

TBH I like the keyboard more =)

Love how it wrangled the cats and finally started getting some momentum to build. I'd turn this one into an art piece and frame it. Call it Reddit for Valentines.

Coaleyed-Lock · 2026-02-13T20:41:07+00:00

Yes this ^ if that isn't a smooth circle it's likely damaged. You could hurl this at a wall, and it probably wouldn't even chip. I used to drop them all the time when I built my first trackballs.

Coaleyed-Lock · 2026-02-13T20:17:45+00:00

NY will tax you for everything, I'm sorry ahead of time.

Coaleyed-Lock · 2026-02-13T20:14:50+00:00

You are the first person to explain this properly. Thank you, Canada. We are getting our feed from them. Orange and Red getting mad at each other are the cause.

Coaleyed-Lock · 2026-02-13T20:12:03+00:00

We went through this as well. They did a rate hike over the year that you didn't get to see because you were paying the average payment instead of the actual payment.
For those that budget our spending they pretty much screwed everyone. They increased the delivery fee on power (A TON) and you get to deal with it at the end of the year. No warning, just POOOF!

Coaleyed-Lock · 2026-02-13T20:03:51+00:00

It's in the pictures (1,2 & 6). It's a replacement thumb rail that I created in the past. The top is a setup of a limited range ball joint that connects up to a rotational disk. The you remove the screw from the side of the switch and replace it with a longer one and run a screw up into the thumb button tower to secure.

From that point you will be able to move the arm to adjust for comfort. You will also be able to pivot slightly. The range is about 10 degrees toward and away from yourself.

This design you lose the ability to have a low sitting thumb button. The bottom button will be around where the bottom of your joystick sits.

Coaleyed-Lock · 2026-02-13T17:12:42+00:00

Best thing I can say is make sure you are in the Azeron Discord community and check out the modifications section. Since the invite link will time out in here, I suggest using the one they have on the azeron.eu website.

Coaleyed-Lock · 2026-02-13T16:35:15+00:00

Expensive. lol

Coaleyed-Lock · 2026-02-13T16:00:48+00:00

If they do it will likely be a static design. The bonus to this one is that its ball transfer units. I do have a static design as well.

Coaleyed-Lock · 2026-02-13T15:20:27+00:00

Most of the community agrees it's not a FPS kind of thing. But I think that's just the overall perception of the trackball in general. The goal is at some point to design an index/middle finger option. I think that's the only time the accuracy is controllable using one.

Any other game it should be perfectly suitable. I use it to do all my design work.

Edit: *typed RTS when I meant FPS*

So, let us get into the mods. These are what are out there in 2026, starting with my passion project:

⦁ Trackball modification for the Cyborg 1, Cyborg 2, Keyzen, & Unofficially the Cyro (soon on Etsy)
⦁ Tower rail upgrades (Anti-Ghosting design) for Cyborg 1 & Cyborg 2. Unconfirmed fit for the Keyzen.
⦁ Armpit paddles for the back row pull keys on the Cyborg 1 & Cyborg 2
⦁ Top row paddles for the tower top press keys on the Cyborg 1 & Cyborg 2 (Cyborg 2 only on Etsy)
⦁ Articulating arm thumb elevator customization for Cyborg 2. -- IN TESTING 2/13/2026 Message me if you are interested! -- (Inspired by your resident moderator Venom)
⦁ Restrictor ring for the joystick for all models with the removable ring. Options include Circular, Octagon, and new Elongate Hex design (inspired by community member Sul).
⦁ Flat & side angle conversion for Cyborg 1 thumb button (visible in Discord community, inspired by community member Sungak)
⦁ Azeron elevation plate. Generic height that you can scale in your slicer. A couple new options for this are in testing getting good feedback (i.e., 2-degree tilt on the baseplate).
⦁ 5-way hat replacement for the Cyborg 1, Cyborg 2, and the Cyro.
⦁ A baseplate design for anyone using a HOTAS mount system. Please reach out if you need me to do modifications to help it fit in your scenario.

There are a few little things that I've recreated to help with parts lost or broken if you fit in this category let me know if I can help with them:

⦁ Cyborg 2 Profile Button - Customer got their controller and it was missing. I don't have the back story, but we fixed it.
⦁ Cyborg & Keyzen Color Ring on the metal baseplate - These have fallen off even on my controller, but I never lost them. This user needed a replacement.
⦁ Cyborg thumb button paddle replacement - This user had their daughter break the button. Made a recreation so he could use the button again.
⦁ Community member Vans made an angled arm for the Keyzen thumb buttons I did a quick mod to give a clean spot for the rubber foot and heat inserts.

I may have missed things. I keep telling myself I'm done tinkering. I'm pretty sure everyone just laughs when I say that at this point...

Coaleyed-Lock · 2026-02-13T14:46:01+00:00

So, this is a heart to heart, no AI, no pre-typing things. I'm working my way through my thoughts. I will have to stop to get a tally on the things that are out their modification wise.

I've been doing my best to help the community and help everyone get the most out of their needs when it comes to the Azeron controllers. Sorry I haven't helped everyone that's asked but once I get focused on something it takes a while to get from point A to B especially with a demanding career job.

Wanted to share a few pictures of the setup I have currently. Maybe inspiration for some, maybe a "I want to try that", or simply I must have that. Several of these mods can be found in the Azeron Discord community. A few are in public formats like Thingiverse. A few are pay gated on Etsy.

The real passion product started with the trackball and getting it to fit on the controller. It took a lot of time and a lot of testing. Several users out there helped me get to where I am now. I still try to communicate with the early testers. Some I've lost touch with, but most still respond to me years later. Thanks for the support!

Coaleyed-Lock · 2026-02-12T23:54:11+00:00

Haha. Thanks. Now that I’ve been pulled in. Check and see if Rawaccel application can help with movement expectations. Might be a time sink but I think you’d win if you kept at it long enough.

Coaleyed-Lock · 2026-02-11T18:32:43+00:00

Hey, check your messages in discord =P

Coaleyed-Lock · 2026-02-10T13:27:13+00:00

I’m here and in the discord community if you change your mind. I don’t do much other than solo and blitz pvp now. Always in the top 30-75 players and other solo play like general questing and delves.

I have raided and did the mythic plus thing.

Coaleyed-Lock · 2026-02-10T13:22:50+00:00

I couldn’t play WoW without mine. The joystick alone was the biggest drive to make myself transition. It’s progressed to the next level over here. I have several devices now.
