Sony Nav alternative

Looks good. It really is just an Azeron Mini, but it's closer to a commercial design that could be sold at retailers. I'm a sucker for all things shiny and new, so I'll get one when they're available.

They may have come up with something good if your hand sits in that palm rest comfortably.

If i sit in my office chair with my arms on the arm rests with my hands in the position of holding a steering wheel, they are much more relaxed than rotating them 90 degrees inwards to the keyboard / mouse position.

Oh and I saw an earlier post where they said they would make leftie versions

Just wish they'd do a proper d-pad instead of that weird fiddly "hat" thing. That was one of my major gripes in attempting the Azeron after being a Nav user.

Looks like a Logitech G13/Belkin N52-te alternative now.
Maybe one day Azeron will make a real Sony Nav alternative!

All of the renders seem to be for a right-handed model (lefty mouser). That may be due to them integrating mouse controls into the device, e.g. a scrollwheel is definitely there. As a lefty, I approve

I'm not sure how it'll work as a single-handed device with combined mouse & controller output, but I won't be buying it for mouse stuff.

New video ... has analog thumbstick, optical sensor, 22 keys and a scrollwheel.

Would an all in 1 mouse/keypad work with xim apex ?

It's an odd-looking thing with the mouse on the bottom. I appreciate that it'll be an excellent device for disabled gamers, but it has broader application. I'm hoping to disable the mouse input and use the rest of it.

Why would they add a mouse sensor to it, that feels so unnecessary...

So the other hand is free to drink beer 

I get it from an accessibility perspective, but one-handed gamers aren’t huge in numbers. Aside from Azeron itself, this device is competing with maybe G502 & Razer Naga mice. But I can’t see it being very accurate in that orientation and there’s too much mental processing to bang everything onto a single hand.

I still can’t go past Azeron Compact for PC or consoles, so I might give this one a miss. If I could remove the Cyborg towers and replace them with buttons, that’s be my go-to. The towers just feel clunky to use.

Looks like a cluster f to try and use, and I agree the mouse sensor on it is a bizarre design choice...
