REVIEW : Azeron Gaming Keypad. HOW TO : connect to PS4 / Xbox using Xim
What is an Azeron Gaming Keypad? And how to connect to PS4 / Xbox using Xim
Here we have the excellent Azeron Gaming keypad.
For use with the PS4/Xbox on games that dont natively support keyboard and mouse you will need a K+M adapter. I used the Xim4, but there are others out there.
For native I use the joystick needs to be on WASD, but for console gaming use it as ANALOG JOYSTICK, then us the Xim software to customise everything else.
It WILL take time, but theres loads of info for you out there and once you’re set it will change the way you game.
According to Xim this is compatible with Xbox SX and PS5 using B/C but i haven’t tested this as yet to confirm.

Azeron should really get together with Valve and help them find a way for the gamepad to be recognized in Steam Input so you can configure it on the fly with whatever game you are playing at the time. I bet the sales would jump significantly.
Well maybe the next 5 years, they are not really commonicative. I asked where can I fined it in the UK so I can have a look touch before I spend 250 EUR, but no answer, or should have a USB C conection, or not 7 weeks waithing :) But def love the idea :)
I've had mine for about a year it completely upgraded my game I play pc and ps5
Is it plug and play on the PS5? I plan on playing Warzone with this and a wireless mouse.
With rewasd software you can assign 4 different functions for every azeron key, the 12 lower azeron keys will be 48! You can set single tap, double tap, triple tap and hold.
Son, that was a hell o f a walk through. I own a original specially made for me by Azeron. And let me say this company rocks.....again great job
Thank you.
Im going to get my hands on one
How do you set up the azeron with the xim4 on console with the new rewasd software?
When you using the azeron with the XIM, is the Stick like on Controller, ore is it just like WASD... so can you move slower ore faster with the stick like with a normal Controller ore just with maximum speed like with KBM?
Hey I bought the azeron and I conected the usb and azeron to my ps4 console and the joystick did not work. Do I need sumthing? I was able to move with the WASD little thingy joystick but I could not move with the real analog joystick. How?
Mine for some reason did not work out of the box. I’ve tried updating the firmware and software but it keeps saying it’s already up to date even though I can see a newer version. I’ve even tried using it just on my pc and it’s still not doing anything. I’ve looked at my control panel and my pc recognizes it as an Azeron keypad. I’ve tried adjusting things on Cronus zen and it recognizes that a keyboard is plugged in but it doesn’t fully recognize what it is I guess because it won’t let me remap any of the keys when I try to on the Azeron.
Would this work with GMK joysrick?
Are you sure that the xim is absolutely needed for Fortnite though? Because Fortnite supports keyboard and mouse on Ps4 with 0 adapters needed. Couldn’t you just use WASD movement with the stick like you said works with warzone?
Ordered 1 but man.. gotta wait till April before it even ships apparently..
so all I'm seeing is the xim apex, is it the same product??? I want a azeron so bad, seem they are old of stock
I want the gold finish as well but it ain't available, quite upsetting ngl
So my question is with my Azeron and using the Xim Apex would it connect successfully to a Cronus Zen? And if so how?
I never use keyboard or Mouse and I'm new to Call of Duty is the duty cold warfare I use controller on xbox I use controller on xbox would this be a good platform to buy a good platform to buy an easier to use than to use the traditional keyboard and mouse and is it more Accurate Great video by the way I subscribe thanks if you can answer my question
Huh, odd this video pop up on my recommended since I am a PC gamer, but I do own an Azeron. Pretty good company, when my thumb stick pooped out on me they sent me a new one free of charge.
I got one that's identical to yours 😂 so when you opened with have you ever seen anything like this I immediately thought yep that's pretty much exactly what mine looks like 😂
Will this work with the series x
I love how you tell people about a XIM too. They’re amazing after you figure it out and I’ve been using one ever sense season 1 of Apex legends. Amazing cheap way to learn m and k without spending $3000 on a pc that can’t even keep up with a $500 Xbox
But like is there any lag or something
The problem is a xim or any other adapter turns your mouse into a joystick using the optical sensor. Its not a bad workaround but still not as good as true mnk aim even with the aim assist that you still have using an adapter
you aren't playing the right games if you think ANY pc doesn't keep up with an xbox... the PC games are nearly always 3 times better in quality and graphics. They TURN DOWN the graphics in PC games to try and match the Xbox/ps4 games so that the console players don't complain so much
Where i put an ipotetic headphone?
Can I use the software on win 8. ?
So if on ps5 don’t need to change anything ? Thanks for the run through man so detailed 🙌🏽
This basically sends commands that mimic key strokes. So if you plug it in, whatever it’s plugged into recognises it as a regular keyboard
When playing Warzone, do you have to change the in-game keyboard settings too?
You don’t have too as it’s natively supported and you may have the Azeron setup perfectly. what I’d suggest is leaving he Azeron as stock and customising it in Warzone. makes it easier.
Hello, can anyone help me? I am having a issue with my azeron and my xim4
Does this work for PS5
I have mine on the way and I have to say, this is the best video I’ve seen with this product hands down. I am also buying this to use with my PS5. Outriders and Apex
Do I need the xim to use on xbox? I'm already able to connect a normal keyboard and mouse already so why can't the keypad
@@jetsynharrison7141 you can use it normally. but playing warzone you will not get the full analog movment like controller without a xim apex or other device
Hey I only have a ps4 and no pc. Is it possible to set this up using this method on my ps4 without a being used at all?
@@cclaw2240 for PS4 most games will not have mouse and keyboard compatibility. I’m on Ps5 and it’s the same. But the best use is getting a KEYMANDER or XIM. I have KEYMANDER 2 and it works perfectly. Only took me about a week to get used to it.
How should I setup my 360 analog settin and my WASD top joystick in order to get the 360 DEGREE joystick to work as a real ps4 joystick? Im going to use the azeron on the ps4 console. Will the xim apex be nessacary in order to get the 360 analog as well?
It looks smooth, very little latency, if any. Is Xim also usable for next gen consoles?
Yes, but for PS5 it will only work for PS4 games as the xim emulates the Ds4. there may be an update at some point. just not yet.
Cool cool
Please do subscribe, it would help the channel, thank you. kzhead.info
Right now im personally creating my own "Azeron keypad" from scratch but better because, i do not like the way it is made and the price and on top of that it is really fun project. But it is really cool product.
Nice!!!!
Any update on your progress?
@@ffourteen2442 Hi, i was kinda lazy so i stopped working on it but yesterday i started again. I have all neccessary hardware. I could connect it everything on a table but that would be unusable of course. So only thing i need to do is complete modeling and print it.
@@ffourteen2442 Right now im printing some upgrades for my printer so it would pring better and made my life easier. I have Ender 3 Pro and it has Z axis rod only on one side. So im making dual Z axis for it. In terms of my Azeron keypad model im like 80% done so i would have at least something which works but because it is created from scratch im not expecting it to be perfect. So im expecting that some redesigns will be needed.
@@likilike501 I'm curious to see how it turns out
From what I understand, you only need a XIM adapter if the game does not support keyboard and mouse inputs. Is this correct?
Yes.👍🏻
Do I need the xim for xbox? I can already play on mouse and keyboard without any special adapter why does the keypad need it?
You only need a xim if you want to play games that don’t support keyboard and mouse.
Does this azeron on console register as a ps4 controller? Like I can use the azeron on console with aim assist cus it thinks its a ps4 controller?
with games that support keyboard it will. using the xim it won’t
Have you monetized your channel? Also great vids btw
I have. If you don’t get ads means you are early. Takes a few mins to show up. early squad 👏🏻
hwo do you build in fortnite if you have to press circle firat and then bulding piece
Every key on the Azeron is a button press on your controller. What ever you have it set on your controller will be replicated as a button press on the Azeron. A lot of the customising happens in the Fortnite settings.
The Azeron is counted as a keyboard on fortnite.
I can answer any question you have about it
Does it work on ps5 and if yes what do I need to make it work smoothly. Thank u and your the best
From what I've seen, it will work on PS5. The only time you would need the XIM adapter is if the game doesn't support key card and mouse inputs. Xim turns keyboard inputs into controller inputs.
The thumbstick movements are slower than ds4 on overwatch. I have it on joystick mode
Set it to analog stick and mess around with the deadzone and sensitivity settings in the Azeron software.
I noticed this to. U can really tell when u go onto audio options and try to turn the volume up/down. It's super slow compared to normal stick
Do those buttons feel like mouse clicks or it’s different?
Just like mouse clicks yes, there awesome! I have one as my profile picture, that's my azeron
@@betterplaysgaming9903 awesome!! I saw a review saying that the buttons are loose, what do you think about it? I am planning o pre ordering this week the new model cyborg.
@@RenanBarros No, its perfect! Ill give u a tip tho, don't get the classic, get the compact azeron, its built way better! But both are great!
Do the buttons feel fragile? Seems as they will break easily.
They don’t feel hugely solid, but they do stand a bashing, mine havent broken from lots of use.
I have a venom x4 tuact adapter would that work with this
I havent tested that so, sorry, cant say it will or wont work.
Wat about the new xim 4 I don’t think they sell those old xim hubs anymore
linux support?
Hey I only have a ps4 and no pc. Is it possible to set this up using this method on my ps4 without a being used at all
You can use it, but it will be all as default and you may struggle.
@@CTAtechdeskcan you change binds on the keyboard binds tab in fortnite?
Why isn't my analog working in game for xim apex?
Try changing the stick settings in the azeron software
Does it work Azeron without Xim Apex For Cold war
Hi there, have a quick Google and you’ll see all the natively compatible games for your console of choice. I believe CW does but you’ll need to check your preferred console. 👍🏻
wish I had a spare $200 to get one. but at the same time $200-$325 for something 3d printed, that cost them how much? its unique I will give it that, but $200+ unique?
pretty much everyone who had used one would say yes. Me included. You’re paying for more than just materials here.
Do you need the mouse and keyboard adapter to use the azeron on the ps4 or can you bypass it?
All depends on whether your console needs an adapter for that particular game. The Azeron acts exactly the same as a keyboard. If a keyboard is compatible. So is the azeron. If you need an adapter to get a keyboard to work. Then you need one for this too.
@@CTAtechdesk I don’t need one for the mouse and keyboard but when I plug the azeron into the ps4, it’s not doing anything. I’ve updated the azeron and changed it to analog joystick, still nothing.
@@kevingoff9118I’m having the same problem was this resolved?
@@alert-mercy I got it working but it’s a little laggy. I just went back to controller.
DO YOU LOOSE AIM ASSIT ON FORTNITE IF YOU USE THIS__?
Yes, it's a keyboard but in a weird shape. Though switching from controller it's easy to get used to. Trust me, took 1 week on like 30 minutes a day and I got pretty decent.
@@kwocci3049 does it work well with Fortnite? One other reviewer said that it acts up with the joystick because it's thinks your using a keyboard and a controller at the same time
What does he mean by natively
Without the use of any other device such as a Xim. HTH
Is using the xim bannible on fortnite?
It is, but ive not heard of any such instances as it replicates a controller.
Man. It would be LITERAL perfection if you could order it with a D-pad Instead of analog stick. Or switch them out.
Do u need an adapter???
You need a XIM if you want to play most games. Some games have native keyboard support on consoles so works with them without it.
If you have any questions feel free to ask me!
On the xim since it is emulate a controller, it should be 360 movement on any game right?
Do I need the xim for xbox
How can I get 360 movement my anog 360 joystick only gives me WASD movement
Will this work on a series x
This thing should not cost as much as it does for being as finnicky and outdated as it is where it won't support newer usb types. I spent over an hour adjusting the keypad to fit my hand just to find out I couldn't get it to work on my computer. I contacted Azeron support who were no help whatsoever. Ultimately they suggested trying a new usb cable to which I replied "This thing should be plug and play for something I spent over $200 on, end of story. I will be returning it."
Am I going to get banned from warzone for using XIM?
I can’t say you won’t, but warzone has native keyboard and mouse support so i think it would be hard for them to ban anyone using it.

IS IT PPPPPPLUG AN D PLAY FOR FOTRTNITE_
There is some setting up required in the software as per the video. but you don’t need anything else.
Yes. BUT, you won't get 360 movement without a XIM though.
PS5 ?
Not natively as PS5 doesn’t allow it. Does work with the XIM but again, drawback is only PS4 games.
does it work for the play 5?
It should do natively for games that support it. As for any game you will need to wait for the Xim to be officially supported, however it *should* work for B/C games. Just not 100%
Again, You can use it without the XIM, BUT you won't get 360 degree movement.
