I own both a Cyro and Cyborg. I use them both for Dune Awakening. Their thumbsticks don't act the same when set to xbox360 joysticks. With the Cyborg, the gui in the game toggle really fast from M&K to Controller, add a bit of stutter but it works. With The Cyro when the thumbstick is set to xbox360 joystick and used at the same time as the Cyro mouse movement, the game controls completely freeze. Any keyboard key both on the keyboard itself or Cyro don't work at that point in the game (but alt-tab out of the game is fine). The only way to unfreeze the game controls is to use the Cyborg thumbstick with WASD setting. I also tried both Cyro and Cyborg as software and on-board profile.

So xbox360 for Cyborg + nonAzeron mouse works fine apart from UI change?
but xbox360 on Cyro freezes it ? - Still using the Cyborg on xbox360 along ?

So xbox360 for Cyborg + nonAzeron mouse works fine apart from UI change? --> Yes
but xbox360 on Cyro freezes it ? (+ Cyborg on xbox360) --> Yes

So when xbox360 is on the Cyro and I use it, no matter if I press keyboard, cyborg key, non-azeron mouse movement or cyro mouse movement, nothing happen except the gui turning back to K&M. Only quitting the game or moving xbox360 on Cyborg thumbstick unfreeze the commands.

What if you only have Cyro with xbox360 ?
I suspect there could be issues with two devices using xinput

Good idea to try that, but still the same with only Cyro with xbox360 (and Cyborg with WASD).

Good news: Unpluging the Cyborg before I start the game with the Cyro with xbox360 makes it work. Then I can plug back the Cyborg (no xbox360) once inside the game. I can live with that for this game. Might not be ideal to unplug/plug that Cyborg usb mini everytime tho.

Do you know if there is any plan to make the Cyborg and Cyro co-exist a little bit better? It does work right now but it's clunky in the app GUI and has some bugs little this one.

That said, the trouble is worth it no matter what, those devices save my gaming life because they help with my carpal tunnel and tendonitis.

Will see if I can get some1 else to test Cyro on Dune.
We do plan to introduce better support for two devices.

Glad to hear you found a workaround though.
Trying to understand the setup, is 1 joy set for left stick, 1 joy for right stick (Cyro)+ you also use a mouse or the mouse function is disabled?

Tested here wth Cyro only and everything seems to work correctly.

Yes with a mouse on the side also. Since I pluged the Cyborg after the Cyro it's working fine now. Looks like it was a temporary glitch (but persistent on reboots) or the order in which Windows detect them. Last possibility is maybe I selected 2 profiles with both xbox360 at once by accident in my many tests and this messed up something for all the remaining tests. Long story short, if this happen again, I'll unplug the Cyborg and replug it last. Thanks for your help.
