Last updated on September 9, 2025
The Cronus Zen is compatible with all versions of the PlayStation 5 console as well as the DualSense and DualSense Edge controllers.
This page contains all the necessary information to set up the Cronus Zen with a PS5 and a DualSense controller. You must use the latest version of Zen Studio, and the Cronus Zen firmware must be updated to version 2.2.12.
🚫 Important
All settings on this page must be applied before using a GamePack on the PS5. If even one setting is incorrect, the GamePack will NOT WORK!
Also make sure that the DualSense controller is fully charged when used with the Cronus Zen, as there may not be enough power available for charging.

🔷Dualsense Controller Setup
Cronus Zen supports all features of the DualSense & DualSense Edge controllers (USB).
Dualsense & Dualsense Edge
*DualSense Bluetooth does not support adaptive triggers and therefore does not support BEAM GamePack features.
To play on a PS5 with a Cronus Zen using a standard DualSense or DualSense Edge, the respective controller must be connected to the left side of the Zen at A1.
PS5 Bypass for Zen Firmware 2.2.12
NOTE: The following steps must be repeated after every restart of the PS5, the Cronus Zen, or after disconnecting the controller.
- 1 Connect the Cronus Zen via its top USB-C port to the back of the PS5.
- 2 Connect the DualSense or DualSense Edge controller to the A1 USB port (left) on the Cronus Zen.
- 3 Turn on the console and make sure the Alien logo is displayed on the Cronus Zen screen.
- 4 Go to ⚙️ Settings > Accessories > General and disconnect the cable from the top USB-C port of the Zen.
- 5 Turn the controller back on using the PS button, go to > Turn off accessories and select the displayed controller WITHOUT clicking on it.
- 6 Now reconnect the cable to the Zen and hold the D-Pad right on the controller.
- 7 Wait for the following button spam to finish until nothing moves on the screen anymore – and that’s it! 🙂
DualSense Edge Curve
If you are using a DualSense Edge controller, you must change the built-in Right Stick Sensitivity/Deadzone settings to default or it will break Anti-Recoil (all the sensitivity/curve settings are handled by the GamePack)
NOTE: The following settings are only visible when the Edge controller is connected directly to the PS5.
- Go to Settings > Accessories.
- Select DualSense Edge Wireless Controller > Custom Profiles
- Select Create Custom Profile, call it 'BEAM2.0', then select OK.
- Select the created profile and adjust the following settings:
- Right Stick Sensitivity Curve: Default
- Curve Adjustment: 0
- Deadzone Adjustment: 0%
