PACKAGE CONTENTS
By using the included Hex key, it is possible to adjust each key tower
position for your hand.
Warning! By updating the firmware, you may lose your saved profile
settings.
Step 1:
Connect keypad to USB slot (don’t connect to USB 3.0 if you don’t have
USB 3.0 drivers installed)
Step 2:
Open teensy.exe software
Step 3:
Press on first button to load hex file (for example, “Firmware.hex”)
Step 4:
Reset Azeron keypad by pressing reset button in the hole shown in the
picture (you can use the included hex key):
Step 6:
After that, press button 3, to restart Teensy. Wait until at least one Profile LED has
turned on at the side of the keypad (that means, keypad is on and running).
Now unplug and replug the USB cable in PC, before launching Azeron software.
Done!
If it doesn’t, you will need to download Serial driver and install it.
Now, to install Azeron software go to azeron.eu/software and download the latest software
version:
Unzip the downloaded file (we have also included the Serial driver, in case you need it). Please
pause or stop your antivirus before installation, so that software could work properly and
automatically update the firmware too. Various virus scanners routinely complain about
After that, the software will start to install. When it’s done, there will be a shortcut icon on
Desktop and in the Start menu.
In case the Azeron software doesn’t show profiles in onboard memory and a lot of features
are missing in About page, then you should close the software, unplug USB cable, wait until
Windows no longer see the keypad, then plug in back the USB cable, turn on software again.
Here you can see comparison. In first picture the software does not recognize the keypad fully
(missing profiles in On-board memory). In second picture the software has all the features.
To setup buttons, click on the button you wish to setup, then choose between several modes:
keyboard, joystick, mouse, toggle or no action.
For keyboard mode you can setup any keyboard button to be used on Azeron keypad. It is
also possible to setup button combinations on one key press.
In Joystick D-Pad mode the button can be setup as any function of the D-Pad (Up, Right, Down
Left, Left, etc.).
In Mouse mode the button can be setup as mouse button left click, right click, mid-click,
forward and backward.
On the keypad there is only one thumbstick, but you can setup a button to switch between
two thumbstick settings. In Toggle R/L Joystick mode, a button press will toggle between 2
settings in the Thumbstick options. If thumbstick is setup as an analog stick, then it will switch
between Left and Right analog stick. If thumbstick is setup as a keyboard (WASD for example),
then you can setup also what keyboard buttons will be on the second thumbstick (for example
QWES).
With angle setting it is possible to rotate the forward direction for thumbstick:
If you are not sure what deadzone settings you should use, just go through the Calibrate
Deadzones wizard, and the software will choose the best settings for your thumbstick.
Sensitivity setting controls how sensitive thumbstick feels as percentage 0-100%. The lower
the value the more sensitive is the thumbstick. Default is 3 or 4.
Note! When using software profiles, the Azeron software must be running in the background
while playing the game.
If you are running on Software profiles, it is possible to choose 2 profiles as favorite and then
switch between them with Profile switch. Or you can activate any selected profile with
Activate button.
Any software profile can also be sent to On-board memory, by pressing OBM#1 or OBM#2.
At the bottom of the profile list is button + Add, which will create a new profile by copying
already selected profile.
(2) To update to newer firmware version, just press the button Update and follow the
instructions on the screen: at first step you will have to press on the Update button when
ready, then by using included hex screwdriver you need to press Reset button under your
keypad, and then just wait until everything is updated. After a firmware is updated we highly
recommend re-plugging USB cable and restarting software.
(3) If you are using Azeron keypad on consoles through XIM device, then it is possible to Install
XIM optimized firmware, which removes all unnecessary features, leaving only one profile in
the on-board memory with joystick settings, but still keeping possibility to adjust thumbstick
angle, deadzones and sensitivity.
(4) Turn LEDs off will completely turn off the Profile LEDs on the side of the keypad.
(5) Switch to left handed will switch the button interface for keypad that is meant for left
handed people (keypad in right hand, mouse in left hand):
(7) LED brightness slider adjusts the Profile LEDs on the side of the keypad. The higher the
value, the brighter the LEDs will glow.
(8) Button throttle. In case one or more of the buttons are starting to make double clicks, you
can setup button throttle here in milliseconds. That is the time that must pass between keypad
will register next keypress on the same button.
Note! The button throttle currently works on all buttons in the same time, it can’t be setup
separately for each button.
(9) Import / Export Profiles. You can back up all of your profiles in one .JSON file, to prevent
any accidental deletion when reinstalling software or Windows, updating firmware, etc.
(10) Reset hardware to defaults. This option will delete all on-board memory profiles, restores
everything to default settings. It is the same as reinstalling firmware in the keypad.
WARNING! Do not keep the keypad near heat sources or in hot places!
