What Does Cronus Zen Do?



Experience the magic of seamlessly blending different gaming platforms and peripherals. Imagine using a DUALSENSE® on an Xbox Series X/S® or mastering the PS5® with a mouse and keyboard, all with full access to the famous Cronus GamePacks and Scripts.

Controller/Console Support



One of the primary attractions of the Cronus Zen is its ability to break down platform barriers. Want to use your PlayStation controller on an Xbox? Or maybe your Xbox Elite controller on a PS5? With Cronus Zen, you can.

  • All Major Platforms: Connect any supported controller, mouse, keyboard, or racing wheel to any supported console.
  • Supported Consoles: PS5®, PS4®, PS3®, Xbox® Series X|S, Xbox® One, Xbox®360, and the Nintendo® Switch are fully supported. Note: PC support isn't 'officially' provided, however we do offer setup instructions that will work with most PC's.
  • Supported Controllers: All official PS5®, PS4®, PS3®, Xbox® Series X|S, Xbox® One, Xbox® 360, Nintendo® Switch, and the Nintendo® Wii controllers. Also support for most licensed controllers.
  • Supports All Games: Zen always outputs as an official controller, so if a game supports controllers, then it will work with Zen.
  • Crossover Wired Headsets: Most official controllers accept a headset connected directly to the controller. However, using an Xbox® headset on an Xbox® controller playing on a PS5® is a world first feature.

Mouse & Keyboard Support



The Cronus Zen is well-known for its ability to provide gamers with a superior level of customization and flexibility, and one of its standout features is its support for mouse and keyboard on consoles.

  • Precision and Customization: Players can achieve a level of precision typically reserved for PC gamers. You can adjust settings like DPI, mouse speed, and key bindings to get everything feeling just right.
  • Ballistic Curves: Incredible control and accuracy, includes support for XIM curves.
  • MK Profiles: Easily import/export settings for your MK setup.
  • Join Controller Lobbies: While not all console games natively support mouse and keyboard, Cronus Zen bridges this gap, allowing for an expanded gameplay experience .
  • Supported Brands: Cronus Zen boasts compatibility with popular gaming mice and keyboards, including brands like Logitech, Razer, Corsair, and many more.

GamePacks



GamePacks provide an expert, pre-configured solution that cannot be edited as the code is closed source.

  • Free Expert MODs: Built by Cronus experts, GamePacks are ideal for both beginners and advanced users who want the latest MODs without needing coding knowledge.
  • Drag & Drop: In Zen Studio, you can quickly assign a GamePack to one of the eight available memory slots.
  • The MOD Library: Every major MOD can be found in THE MOD LIBRARY where they're all described in full detail, along with video and source code examples.
  • All Games: If a game supports a controller, then it will support Cronus Zen.
  • Regular Updates: There are on average 20+ GamePack updates every month. These usually include new features, new weapons, updated recoil patterns, bug fixes, community requests and so on.
  • OLED Menu: You can set up and adjust all GamePack settings right on Zen's OLED screen, no computer required!

Scripts



Scripts are written in an open-source code format using our GPC language (similar to C#), allowing for greater flexibility for more advanced users.

  • GPC Script Engine: All Zen users get access to a powerful script compiler.
  • GPC Library: Access to thousands of free scripts, directly from Zen Studio.
  • Developer Resources: Visit the GPC Developers Guide which provides a comprehensive overview of GPC syntax, data types, and functions, as well as advanced development techniques.
  • Script Support: As scripts are created by members of the Cronus Community, you would need to speak to the creator of any script you're having problems with. However there are huge scripting communities in both our Forums and Discord.

Source Code Benefits

The ability to access the source code gives more advanced players the power to fully customize their gaming experience. They do however require a certain level of technical expertise to use effectively.

Players can select which specific features they want to use, such as Taylordrift21's advanced Aim Assist scripts that focuses solely on that one particular MOD.

This is ideal for more advanced players who have a specific playstyle or desire a more precise experience.
