Cronus Zen is compatible with all models of PlayStation 5*, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. Zen also connects to Windows PC with full Xbox emulation. Legacy support is also given to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles, including many Android devices (requires OTG cable).

*PlayStation 5 games require two different types of boot method, depending on the game – PS4 SPECIALITY or PS REMOTE PLAY. If the game boots with the PS4 SPECIALITY method, then it requires a third-party licensed PS4 controller. We4 recommend the HORI PS4 Mini-Pad.

Absolutely! We’ve worked hard to make sure as many of the newest and most popular controllers are supported, and will continue to do so as more are released to the market. We’ve concentrated on the most popular licensed brands such as Razer, Scuf, Nacon, Astro and of course the new Xbox Elite Series 2 – which has both USB and Wireless Adapter Support.

Using third-party devices with any online service is always a risk so there are no guarantees. Unlikely as that may be, it is always possible that you can be banned or blocked at any time without notice or warning. 

However, Cronus connects to your console using an original, licensed controller, so the console always believes that you are gaming with a controller meant for the console you are playing on (example you can use an Xbox Elite S2 controller on a PS4, or a mouse and keyboard on an Xbox Series X).

Cronus simply mimics button, stick and trigger presses/movements using scripts or ‘macros’ that allows you to connect and compatible controller to any supported console. Cronus does not “hack” anything in the game or console, nor does it allow you to do anything that the game itself does not allow (such as AimBot and walking through walls – it is impossible for Cronus to do any of these hacks).

The processing power of the Zen is exponentially more powerful than that of its predecessor, the CronusMAX PLUS, and features a new data transport engine that is currently featured in another device we provide to every professional team in the Call of Duty League and World Championships. We have worked closely with some of the best eSports players in the world to make sure that this hardware is as seamless as if you were connected directly to the console.

We set out to make a Mouse & Keyboard to Console experience that was on par with the best. There’s a brand new M&K software interface that will change the way you game. The setup is very intuitive and includes presets for the most popular games, with more being added regularly. Most brands of Mouse and Keyboard are auto-detected – all you need to do is set the polling rate and dpi, connect to the Zen, select your game profile and go. That’s it!

Note: Check out this page for the latest M&K game profiles and best settings. 

You can use as many controllers as the console allows, however you can use one controller per Cronus Zen at any one time.

Zen takes on the “identity” of a controller and converts its signals digitally to the controller you wish to use. For example, if you have an Xbox One, the Cronus Zen will take on the identity of your Xbox One controller through the process of “Authentication”. The Security ID of that Xbox One controller is then stored inside the Cronus Zen so that the Xbox One thinks that the Zen is in fact the Xbox One Controller. You can then connect any controller you wish to the Zen and it will convert the controller’s signals to the console in real-time. This allows you to use almost any controller on any console.

If you wish to use more controllers for crossover or modding on the same console, you would need a Zen for each controller. 

Note: For correct “Authentication”, Cronus Zen requires a wired original licensed controller. You can find more information about Authentication, why it’s needed and how it works in the Zen User Guide.

Yes, the software at the heart of Cronus Zen is Zen Studio for Windows.
