Hello all!! I hope 2026 starts out amazing for everyone. Just have a question for users. Want to start up a group if possible. I am reaching out to see if anyone else is using the Azeron Cyborg 2 within SketchUp. I recently made the purchase. I like to play video games on my free time. I have noticed that it works amazing in my rendering program D5. Just wondering if anyone else has implemented it into their sketchUp workflow. I have started and can see its benefits. Would like to ask a couple questions if anyone else is using it.
Thanks for reading this and hope you all are killing it in SketchUp.
A variation on the old Razer gaming keypad. I used one for a long time but it got lost in the shuffle over time. And I found the Spacemouse was a better use of my left hand.
I don’t really understand what you are asking.
The raser had a joystick that you could use with your thumb to move around, if that’s what you mean, the rest of the keys I used as a keyboard.
The spacemouse is a much more fluid navigation tool and I use it as is to this day.
I found the Enterprise version of the 3 connexion combined both tools in one seamless tool.
Given it’s a gaming keyboard / game thumbstick for WASD movement , neither of which SketchUp uses - it will be a pain to setup without having 3rd party tools in store.
I can see how it would be useful in D5 as that does have WASD.
Enscape also has game control input as an option, so I could see it working there too.
I am just checking to see if anyone else is using the cyborg in sketchup. And how they are setting it up. I will do my own thing. I will stick to the native movement within sketchup. But would love to see a voice automated setup to input measurements. Then I wouldnt have to take either of my hands off the cyborg or the mouse.
You can use voice software quite easily, you can change tools and input measurements. My problem when I used is was I felt like an idiot talking to it. And not so good when working in a room full of people, or noisy environment.
Grab your voice software of choice and go for it.
I don’t think there are many people using that on sketchup, I also recommend you to get an space mouse instead, the basic one is great and compact if you travel but it has just two buttons that can be customized to assign shortcuts or keys, the enterprise and pro have a lot more customization buttons. The enterprise space mouse together with the Logitech MX master mouse almost make useless a keyboard, I almost don’t use my keyboard to model anymore, just for typing names of tags or components and the numpad for dimensions. It’s a lot more expensive than the gaming pad you’re looking for but it’s totally worth it, it also works with D5, Twinmotion and almost any other professional software, the drivers and software is easy to install, its intuitive and easy to setup as well.
I’m not gonna lie, it takes some time to get used to it because of the muscle memory of using the scroll wheel to navigate through the model but once you get used to it you won’t want to work without it anymore.
A long time ago I used the Belkin Nostromo - which I assume Razer bought as it looks like it evolved to what @Box showed above.
I used it in AutoCAD, SKP and the timber processing machine software. For SKP I just programmed my shortcuts that were typical for my left hand and still used a standard 3 button mouse with my right hand. I still had to enter values by hand … which meant taking hand off mouse to use the numpad - but at the time is was a huge productivity boost for me on the AutoCAD and CNC control software side of my work.
