Connection Guides

These are the official steps to connect your Cronus Zen to your console or PC. If you skip a step, your controller will disconnect.

PlayStation 5

Because Sony blocked third-party devices, you MUST use the Zen Link Wi-Fi Module or the USB Bypass method. We strongly recommend the Zen Link.

Xbox (All Models)

Xbox is plug-and-play. You do not need a bypass.

1

Plug the short micro-USB cable into the top CONSOLE port of the Zen, and plug the other end into your Xbox.

2

Plug your Xbox controller into the left A1 port of the Zen using a high-quality data USB cable.

3

Make sure your Zen Studio "Emulator Output Protocol" is set to Xbox One X/S or AUTO.

Xbox Headset Fix

If your headset doesn't work when plugged into your Xbox controller, you must downgrade your Zen firmware to version 2.0.9-beta.43. See the Firmware Guide.

PC

Connecting to a PC is very simple. Your PC will think the Zen is a normal Xbox controller.

1

Plug the short micro-USB cable into the top CONSOLE port of the Zen, and plug the other end into your PC.

2

Plug your controller into the left A1 port of the Zen.

3

Make sure your Zen Studio "Emulator Output Protocol" is set to Xbox 360. This gives you the best compatibility with PC games.

Top 3 Mistakes Everyone Makes

  • Leaving the PROG cable plugged in: The right-side PROG cable is ONLY for Zen Studio. If you leave it plugged into your PC while trying to play a game, your controller will disconnect.
  • Using a cheap "Charge-Only" cable: The cables that come with the Zen break easily. If your controller turns on but doesn't do anything, your cable is broken. Buy a data-sync micro-USB or USB-C cable.
  • Using a USB Hub: Always plug the Zen directly into your console or PC. Do not use a USB hub or extension cable.
