Please note if you have an older azeron you will need to purchase the glue gun. I didn't mention in the video that I didn't need one because my Azeron was delivered to me late November 2019 and had the newer bracket towers.
Reach out to Tech Support through Azeron to find out of you have an older or newer tower Azeron.

That sucks that you had an issue with one of the switches but it's nice that this can be worked on and fixed with parts that are readily available.
Yes 100%. Its nice knowing here in the US, I do not have to wait for parts to come from Latvia. It can be fixed right at home if you have little patience like myself.
Good job, to get a good flow of solder and also when de-soldering, you could use flux. When de-soldering just drip a bit of flux onto the wick
I'm in the same position. Two switches wonky not even after a year of heavy use 🙄. Not impressed. My Ducky keyboard keeps performing, no problems. Do you think a MX Cherry switch could be installed as a replacement? Hearing " soder" instead of "solder", as an Aussie is so jarring 🤔. So glad you did this film, eh 👍🇦🇺
They are mouse switches, not keyboard. So I don't think so. omron was the best choice for me.
@@GRIPPED bugger. I'm disappointed to hear that. Thanks for the reply.
PRO TIP:
File the new switch until it fits perfectly before you solder, had to take off about 5 minutes worth of the nub on the back of the key so that I could tighten the key screw. Fun little project.
Interested to know what the repair process is like for the joystik, especially considering that will absolutely be the most frequently used on this.
I dont think it would be difficult. However, I haven't heard of many cases where people had joystick failures
Can I ask where you got the button and palm covers? Are the ones on the buttons "grippy"? Thanks a lot, great video!
Nope can’t figure this out no thanks. Great vid.
For future reference you don't need to desolder wires, grab the wire with a tweezers and apply heat to simply lift it off
What temperature did you use? I just tried to desolder and nothing really happened, I'm ordering flux to see if that helps, but I noticed we have the exist same kit.
Not sure the temp but i would imagine i probably googled what the right temp was and adjusted from there. im not sure that my iron had an adjustment to my memory
Is it worth soldering connectors you can slide onto the switch, just in case you have to do it again. That way you never have to solder the new switch in place ... just slide it in instead.
I would say so, I just wasn't familiar enough at that point. Also, having space to put those in might be troublesome
Thanks for making this video. I just bought the compact version and overall I'm impressed with the unit. My only gripe is that I wish that some of the switches took a little more force to trigger since I'm kinda clumsy with my pinky and ring fingers. I see on the specs of the switches you posted that they have a triggering force of 150g. How does that compare to the stock azeron switches? Does the switch feel stiffer or softer?
I bought my azeron a few days ago and in the second usage I'm having problems with 3 keys. One the key is grabbing, in other doesn't return and other one with less click. I'm very disappointed with the quality of my unit. Thanks for making this video. I will try to search the same switchs in China because is better for me.
Same problem whole row there replaced at least 1 a month azeron did send replacement switches but there the same ones azeron referred me to this video and I will be replacing all of the switches. Thanks for confirming what switches will fit with minor modification. Also does the new switch feel like it has any ware yet. I could feel the ware on original switches after a week progressively less click.
Yes same here. They are easy to change out and honestly kind of a fun DIY! If you have any issues feel free to come to my discord and maybe I can answer them for you. Here is a link that will take you to a link to join my discord lol ... www.streamerlinks.com/gripped
Do you know which 5 way navigation switch the Azeron uses? I need to replace it. I've contacted them thru discord and they dont even know.
Wich other switch Can I use? D2F-01 there's no stock anywhere.
can you use after market switches?
This is my question too. I might just open one of mine up and try to figure it out myself this weekend. Lmk if u ever got an answer
Can these be switched with linear switches?
I wish this had replaceable switches........ it would be simple enough to to make the switch cable be detachable. then azeron could sell the 50 cent switches for 5 bucks. I am hesitant to buy an $180 thing that i am going to need to repair later.
My question to you is why didn't you send it back is it still under warranty ? I was thinking about purchasing one of these but after seeing this video I'm not quite so sure do you recommend this product still even after having to fix it ? It appears other gamers are also having problems with it seems to be kind of fragile ?
When i purchased mine they were a fairly newer company. It's been over a year since then. I also like to fix stuff on my own. Also, it would have taken a long time to ship it off, have them fix, and send it back. They gave me that opportunity to warranty it and fix it. They also sent me extra parts but I didn't want to wait, I just wanted it fixed. I recommend this to everyone. I absolutely love my azeron keypad.
I have a different kind of problem with mine... My joystick constantly moves to the right and I can't move in any other direction. Would you have an idea on how to solve that by any chance?
I would highly suggest you just replace the joy stick. Have you ever joined their discord? There are so many resources in there.
@@GRIPPED I fixed it surprisingly... I needed update the software and firmware and redo all of my controls from scratch.
Thank you so much! I had my running switch die, switched my running keybind to another key and after a while that died too (I press that running switch way to much in COD). Because of your video I was confident I could fix it myself and got Azeron to ship me a bunch of replacement switches and fixed it! :D
Have you switched many switches? are the switches you used in the video better (more durable)? Cause I had 2 switches die in under 6 months now.
Unfortunately I have quit playing. I only switched the one and sold the keypad to someone else. I have another one that I thought about modding. Not sure yet. The switches in the video were so much more durable.
U think that if i remove a razer optical switch from the mouse can i put it on the azerom?
The slot the switch fits into is specific. Watch that part of my video , You'll see what I mean.
Can you do a video on how to do the Xbox elite magnetic stick mod.
I can help by sending pictures. If someone wants to send me their azeron to do that for I can and ship it back to them and make a video of it.
What size is the Allen key for the switches the wrench provided doesn't fit
@GRIPPED
I think its a 1.5. I just used the one that came with my keypad i believe.
this same thing just happened to me. My button no longer makes that "click". If i barely touch it at all it activates. I've had mine since February. A little frustrating because i'm not a tech savy guy
I have the same problem plus the damn thing keeps bricking requiring a reset, what a piece of trash, barely had it for 6 months and I have to replace switches with a soldering iron? wtf?
The bricking issue could be possibly resolved with just a hard reset and deletion from Windows. I believe the switch was mostly my fault from excessive use and hard presses (jump key). We also have to remember this is a brand new tiny company. I know its a heavy price to pay to be in the initial group of users, but I accepted that it may be faulty at times because we are part of the startup. Good news... their discord is super helpful with fixes and workarounds. I found it enjoyable learning to solder. I now feel that nothing can stop me from fixing the Azeron. Please let me know if you need any help. discord.me/gripped. Sorry for your frustrations
@@GRIPPED Missed this reply, thanks!! Turns out the index pull switch is busted I had it bound to shift and alt in some games and it started causing all kinds of problems. the key would get stuck. The switch is toast. Azeron kept telling me to unscrew the screws near the switch. finally got a hex driver that fit and that did nothing. the switch doesn;t click and I'm not about to try the repair myself. they really need better switches.
@@huhman1000 I think that will be something they will tackle soon if they haven't already. They really arent that difficult to fix though! also, kind of rewarding to learn to fix it as well. best of luck to you
wooow what is that on the switches, grip tape?...
Yes, Lizard Skin on finger pads and gator skin on wrist pad :)
GRIPPED can you send a link to it please it looks really cool
@@slimmshady5281 search hockey stick tape on amazon - lizard skin
GRIPPED thanks man
GRIPPED keep up the great vids
The little screen on the right of the switch just needs to be tightened a little bit happened to me and tightened the screw all the way and made it a little lose and it started clicking again
Any idea what it uses for the analog stick?
If you look up joystick modules it uses the one with the orange potentiometer. Same as any other modern joystick basically
How did u you remove the prong? Also mine is the old model any tips
In the video I think you can see how i removed it by filing it down.
U showed filing down the switch to make it fit. I'm referring to the 3 prongs and the removal of one... did u literally file the 3rd prong all the way down? I imagine u cut it with something
@@deak877 Right. You just have to cut it with something.
I know these are all custom so maybe this is just a problem for me. But the switches didnt work that well. I'd file the sides get them to fit slot perfectly... As I put the device back together it would put mor tension on the clicking portion. And would make the button (not click) causing me to take apart and redo multiple times. Did u have similar filing issue? Or just sides and good to go? I also would like to tell u I appreciate the video so much with out it I wouldn't have even known where to start.
@@deak877 Would you want to hop into a discord and talk verbally about it?
My hero
has anyone had a problem with their keys sticking? like half of mine are sticking, they register that i press them, but they will not click back up into place without me lifting them.
Loosen the screws holding in the pads. they're probably too tight.
Why didnt u get the original switch on the azeron?
These switches are of better quality and build. Highly suggest them.
GRIPPED i really wouldnt like to file down any platic from azeron
@@yt-aimbot-gaming8352 The only thing i had to file down "from azeron" was the fingerpad because it depressed too much. Switching the switch out for the exact same can still have had this same issue and required filing down from my understanding. I had to slightly file down some plastic on the switch to let it fit in the brackets. It was worth the $40 I had invested in the switch to have the azeron at home with me not risking shipping and having it gone for 2 weeks. I wanted to make it his a one time fix. going with a better switch I believe will make me not have to perform surgery again.
They should really use better quality switches for the price they are charging or at least design it for a solder free hotswap for the switches.
@@TheTYBAM I believe they are in the process of doing that right now!
Cant get to links....just put the whole link
Thank you! They were working when I posted. I fixed them
@@GRIPPED thanks
Same problem
Pretty easy fix! Also customer support through them is amazing.
Good first effort but you really need to learn how to solder correctly. Using flux and NON lead free solder will negate a lot of heat and aggravation!
End result worked great for me. It was fixed, and hasn't broken since.
@@GRIPPED Whatever.
@@SpencerPlanton Hope your day gets better.
