The conventional keyboard is well suited for text input and maneuvering in a table, but less so for special applications. Even high-quality gaming keyboards are a compromise, especially when it comes to computer games that require fast reactions and precise movements.

When playing PC games, the mouse is usually used with the right hand for looking around and shooting. This leaves only the other hand on the keyboard for moving around and all other actions. The more game functions are assigned to keys, the more often the keyboard hand has to leave its standard position.

This is where the special keyboards Azeron Cyborg and MoveMaster RSG come into play. Visually, neither resembles a keyboard even at second glance: the name of the Cyborg is well chosen, as the controller resembles a robot hand turned inside out. The MoveMaster RSG looks more like the thrust lever of a jet.

We tested both controllers and recorded our impressions in the video. ()
