PlayStation® 5
Cronus Zen supports all versions of the PlayStation® 5 console, and both official DualSense® and DualSense Edge® controllers.
As of Jan 24th 2024, Cronus Zen needs to be connected to any Windows® PC or Apple Mac® running the PS Remote Play software if you wish to play games on a PlayStation® 5. You do not need any other devices for this as with firmware 2.2.2 you are given ALL DualSense® features, whereas other products will only give you touchpad press.
This page will explain how to get it setup and ready for use with the Cronus Zen in just a few minutes. If there is ever an update to this setup, you will find it posted here.
Remember, when using Cronus Zen, any supported device (controllers, mice, keyboards) will work with your PlayStation® 5 console! 🎮🚀

We recommend using a powered USB hub with a 5v AUX port when using Cronus Zen to game on a PS5. This connects to your PC/Mac and the Zen connects to the hub. In almost every case, this will solve most, if not all issues with PS5 disconnecting, not pairing the controller, laggy response, no rumbles and no adaptive triggers.
The Cronus MK Switch + Powered Hub/5v Aux is now available from cronus.shop
