Azeron has launched the Keyzen, a highly customizable ergonomic gaming keypad designed to replace traditional keyboards and controllers, featuring mechanical switches and a thumbstick.

The device emphasizes ergonomics with adjustable components, including palm rests, finger lengths, and angles, to enhance user comfort.

The Keyzen incorporates Hall-effect joysticks with restrictor rings to prevent drift and offers three types of Cherry MX switches—Red, Blue, and Brown—allowing users to swap keycaps and choose their preferred switch type, although only one switch type can be used per device.

It supports extensive customization, including color options for components like wrist rests, case, keycaps, and joystick, which can be configured via an online configurator.

The device can store up to six onboard profiles, with unlimited profiles accessible through a connected PC, and features a layout designed for easy key differentiation and accessibility.

The Keyzen comes with adjustment tools and a detachable USB-C-to-A cable for connectivity, and it appears to be a stationary unit with rubberized feet for stability.

Teaser images suggest the device will have a layout supporting easy differentiation between keys and may include features like rubberized feet, indicating a stationary design.

Pricing for the Keyzen is set at €185 in Europe and $212 in the US, with a UK price yet to be confirmed, and it is currently not available on Amazon.

Azeron’s existing products have gained popularity, with over 80,000 users across more than 100 countries, mainly focusing on the Cyborg and Cyborg II models.

Compared to previous models, the Keyzen increases the number of mappable keys from 30 to 32, arranged in a more accessible layout with adjustable angles for easier reach.

The development of the Keyzen was driven by community feedback, reflecting Azeron’s commitment to addressing gamers’ needs and preferences.

The thumbstick uses Hall Effect technology to prevent drift, and users can map keys and functions through dedicated software, enhancing customization and control.

Azeron has teased the Keyzen as a departure from their traditional product line, indicating it might not be a standard keyboard or controller, and it could appeal to gamers seeking ergonomic keyboard functionality.
