Hello,
I'm not sure what's causing this problem but im using a cyborg with rewasd. Every now and then it will just stop working, none of the buttons do anything but unplugging and replugging it in will get them to work again. If I'm holding a button like W when it stops working it will continue to make my character walk forward and pressing any button doesn't stop it, gotta unplug and plug back in again.

Where do I go to start looking for causes of the problem, is it an azeron issue, a pc setting thing somewhere, or rewasd?

First check if the issue occurs without rewasd. Onboard profiles preferably.

Connect Azeron, wiggle the cable to see if that causes the disconnects.

Check if the LEDs go off, if you hear the usb notification of the device discconnecting

Ah, that’s a frustrating issue — sounds like your Cyborg (Azeron) is locking up mid-session and holding inputs even when you’re not pressing them. Since unplugging and replugging it resets the issue, it’s likely either:

- A firmware/hardware hiccup on the Cyborg side
- Something glitchy in reWASD’s mapping layer
- Possibly a USB/power management or Windows device setting interfering

Let’s break down where you can start looking:

Step-by-step Troubleshooting Guide

1. Test the device without reWASD

- Temporarily turn off or disable reWASD.
- Plug in your Azeron and use Azeron Software to map basic keys.
- Play a game or use Notepad to test input.

If the problem still occurs: it’s likely an Azeron hardware/firmware issue.
If it doesn’t happen: reWASD might be the culprit.

2. Check USB Power Management (Windows)

Windows might be putting the USB port to sleep to save power. Fix this:

- Go to Device Manager → expand Universal Serial Bus controllers
- Right-click each USB Root Hub or Generic USB Hub → Properties → Power Management
- Uncheck: “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power”
- Also check HID-compliant devices if the Azeron shows up there.

3. Update Azeron Firmware & Software

- Make sure the Azeron Software and the Cyborg firmware are fully up to date.

- You can get the latest from Azeron’s official website.

4. Try a different USB port

- Preferably use a USB 2.0 port instead of 3.0/3.1 if available.

- Avoid USB hubs or extension cables during testing.

5. Check reWASD settings

- Open reWASD → Profile → Check if there’s any Toggle mode or Sticky keys bound to anything.

- Also check background remapping settings or “Advanced mapping” options that might cause keys to stick.

- Try remapping to a fresh, minimal profile to test stability.

6. Event Viewer (Advanced)
I
f you want to go deeper:

- Press Win + X → Event Viewer
- Go to Windows Logs > System

Filter or search for errors/warnings related to USB, HID, or device disconnects around the time the issue happens.

* Bonus: If the key "sticks" after input drops
That sounds like the key event isn’t being released (like reWASD or the Azeron stopped sending the keyup signal). That could be:

- A firmware freeze
- An issue where reWASD is still running but loses sync with the hardware

Final test suggestion:

Run your Azeron with only Azeron Software, no reWASD, for a full gaming session.

- If stable → reWASD is likely the issue
- If it still breaks → Azeron hardware/firmware or USB/power issue

It all seems quite complicated, but if you do it successfully, congratulations. Hope all can help you and avoid the worst situation.
