I've heard it can be great for creative applications, such as 3D modelling software. Basically anything that necessitates easy access to masses of quick actions or shortcuts. At the end of the day, you're more likely to use it in MMO or RPG type situations.
This makes it almost as impossible as the keyboard for playing racing games. While it does include an analogue stick, and negates the need for radial menus with the sheer number of buttons present, it lacks pressure sensitivity triggers as well as haptic feedback. The keypad comes with a proper nifty screwdriver/allen key combo, for fitting it to the size and splay of your hand easily with the underside screws.ĭespite the Azeron Keypad being a worthy contestant to the keyboard, a controller might still be a better choice in some instances. It's also easy to set up physically, though a little fiddly. With a sturdy metal chassis as a foundation for the impressively 3D printed, hand-assembled components, the Azeron Keypad is heavier than expected for a 3D printed accessory, though still absolutely compact and portable. My partner and I spent about 2 days before we even set them up properly just clicking them like crazy, and they haven't broken yet-a testament to Omron's promise of 10 million keypresses. Not only are there more buttons than I'll ever need for all my actions, menus and quickbar items, they're also incredibly satisfying to click.
Right now though, aside from the connection, this thing is a paragon of practicality. We should also see a change to USB Type-C some time in the future-keep a check on the Azeron blog for updates. However, the company is making a move toward it's own custom hardware design that will include more onboard memory and additional features. It doesn't stifle much as it comes with its own braided cable, but it means you can't use it with today's standard cables if you lose yours. Another drawback that comes from this choice of Teensy hardware, is the Mini-B USB connection. That's due to the Teensy++ 2.0 inside being connected to a handy profile switch on the side, as well as indicator LEDs (the colour of which are also editable). Just know this isn't some throwaway novelty item.
