ZEN STUDIO

Zen Studio is the software that gives full control over your Zen hardware with multiple levels of configuration, as well as easy access to advanced scripts, and macros by way of a powerful and fully upgraded GPC script compiler, along with a huge range of pre-configured GamePacks with the latest mods for the latest games.

Zen Studio also has a comprehensive Mouse & Keyboard settings interface as well as various plugins for capturing inputs from your controller, and re-mapping buttons, analog sticks, and sensors without any scripting knowledge. This page will show you how to easily install Zen Studio, and guide you through the different Working Panels.

M&K Settings Panel



Take your gaming with Cronus to the next level with our brand-new Mouse & Keyboard Translator Engine.

We found that many Zen users would often use a third-party MK device to get better mouse & keyboard performance, while still using Zen for MODS and scripts. As you can imagine, this didn't jive with our dev team, so they went back to the drawing board, redesigning the Cronus Zen Mouse and Keyboard engine from the ground up.

Over a year in development, and after hundreds and hundreds of Mouse & Keyboard support tickets and months of community feedback during the open beta, we're excited to reveal what we now believe is the world's most powerful Mouse/Keyboard/Controller/Script all-in-one translator device.
