I used the "ClutchIt" mount I bought off Amazon and I like the results. The mount is magnetic on both ends, you place a small adhesive metal disk (included) onto your desk surface in the spot you want the mount base to be, and that's it. One end of the mount magnetizes to your desk, the other end magnetizes to the bottom of your Azeron. The mount is strong enough to hold the Azeron in any position or angle.
Maybe hot glue or crazy glue a bracket like this https://www.amazon.com/Bracket-Brackets-Furniture-Cabinet-20mmx20mm/dp/B08ZD89JN8/ref=asc_df_B08ZD89JN8/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=532780144682&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2966390581317205605&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqm...
To the housing and screw it in.
I used these: SoftTouch Assorted Round... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GTXGNH8?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I cut them into halves or quarters depending on what felt vest. https://i.imgur.com/clYdMgA.jpg

That’s what I purchased to be able to easily make the changes. There’s a couple YouTube videos on how to change from stock to the elite series 1 joystick… if you’re interested that is
Here is the tutorial.
What I would suggest, is trying a curve like this. It all depends on your personal preference, so you'd need to test it out :)
And try to minimize the deadzone in-game too!
You can buy packs of M2's off Amazon. Probably going to be as painless as you can get it.
https://www.amazon.com/HVAZI-Metric-Stainless-Button-Assortment/dp/B07DVLLKZ3 for example. Sure, there's way more screws than you need, but it's only 10 bucks.
Otherwise, find a well sorted hardware store. Though, M2's are so small that regular hardware store might not bother stocking them (maybe).
Just found this while researching what microcontroller Azeron uses. Maybe you'll find it handy?
As for the microcontroller, user in Discord popped in with the answer. It's a Teensy++ 2.0, which does look to be semi-compatible with QMK. Which means you should be able to do things like program layers in on various keys and the like. Here's a reddit thread from a while back talking about it. Might be a good jumping-off point.
I've been using QMK to program a couple of Planck keyboards, and it's a pretty decent little program. Takes some learning, but that's Linux!
I'm thinking of using one of these stands along with this mounting system of the same brand. I've used their mounts before, and I think It work for this as well.
