STEP 4: Controller Setup
You will need to know if your controller is USB only, if it supports Bluetooth, or if it needs a special Wireless Adapter like Xbox® controllers and the Astro® C40.
| USB | BT | ADAPTER |
|---|---|---|---|
DualSense® | YES | YES* | N/A |
DualSense® Edge | YES | YES* | N/A |
DualShock® 4 | YES | YES | N/A |
Xbox® (All models) | YES | NO | YES** |
Nintendo® Switch (All models) | NO | YES | N/A |
Astro® C40 | YES | NO | YES |
*Bluetooth does not support Adaptive Triggers, Rumbles, Gyroscope, or Mic - it's important to note that these features are required when using Cronus GamePacks.
**Wireless Xbox Series X|S & Xbox One controllers require the Xbox Wireless Adapter.
It looks a LOT easier after watching than it does after reading. 😁
Cronus Zen supports all major consoles, all official controllers, and most licensed third-party controllers.
Check out the links below to see which ones made the cut. 👍
WIRED HEADSETS: Considering the wide variety of headsets, controllers, and consoles, we can't promise full audio functionality for every combo. However, many USB setups are compatible. Give yours a try and find out! 🎧🎮
Note: There is no wired headset support over Bluetooth. The controller must be connected to the Zen by USB, or if you have a PS5, connect your headset to whichever device is running the PS Remote Play app.
NINTENDO® SWITCH: If using a Switch TV Dock, make sure the 15v power supply is connected or the Zen will not power on. If you are using the Switch in Handheld mode, you'll also need an OTG USB-C adapter.
Make sure this option is enabled: System Settings > Controllers and Sensors > Pro Controller Wired Communication: On
