Auto Fire
Make firing effortless for every gamer! Reduce the strain on your trigger finger and enjoy longer, fatigue-free gaming sessions packed with non-stop comfort and control.

AIM ASSIST
This macro supports you in staying inside the game’s Aim Assist bubble, helping you close the distance and keep your crosshair on target with less effort. Especially useful for players with limited hand mobility or coordination who just want to enjoy the game.
BURST FIRE
Turn full-auto weapons into timed bursts with this macro — it gives you better recoil management and accuracy while keeping your hands relaxed and steady. A supportive feature made for challenged gamers who find rapid firing weapons difficult to handle manually.
DROP SHOT
This macro gently drops you into the prone position automatically each time you fire, helping you stabilize your aim without needing extra button presses or quick hand movements — a thoughtful feature for gamers whose fingers tire easily or struggle with fast actions.
AUTO BREATH
Easier steady aiming through automatic breath holding — it reduces sway and gives you better precision while keeping your hands relaxed and free from extra button strain. Perfect for players with motor challenges who find manual breath-hold inputs exhausting.
AUTO RUN/SPRINT
Move your stick forward and sprint smoothly without extra effort or forceful pushing. Designed to cut down on analog stick wear and hand fatigue, it’s a thoughtful tool that supports challenged gamers who want easier, more comfortable movement during long sessions.
FAST RELOAD
Reload faster and be set to unload your clip while your opponent is still in their standard reload animation — it cuts down on the strain of manual timing so your hands stay relaxed. A thoughtful tool made for challenged gamers who want to focus on the action instead of fighting reload mechanics.
QUICK SCOPE
Automatically fire right after you aim down the sniper scope — it removes the frantic coordination between buttons so your aim stays calm and your hands less fatigued. Especially helpful for gamers with tremors, arthritis, or coordination challenges who still want to enjoy accurate long-range play.
FREQUENTLY ASKED Questions
Cronus Zen is game agnostic. It works with all games on the supported platforms.
Cronus Zen is compatible with all models of PlayStation®️5*, Xbox Series X|S®️, PlayStation®️4, Xbox One®️ and Nintendo Switch®️. Zen also connects to Windows®️ PC with full Xbox®️ emulation. Legacy support is also given to Xbox 360®️ and PlayStation®️3 consoles, including many Android®️ devices (requires OTG cable).
*PS5®️ native operation requires a Zen Link.
Yes! Cronus Zen supports Bluetooth for PlayStation®️ and Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons®️, Switch Pro®️, WiiMote®️ and Wii U Pro®️ wireless controllers. Xbox Series X/S®️ and Xbox One®️ controllers do not support Bluetooth, but they do support the Xbox®️ Wireless Adapter (sold separately).
Yes! Both Xbox®️ and PlayStation®️4/5 wired & wireless headsets are supported, and they can connect directly to your controller. We have even added support for CROSSOVER AUDIO so you can use your Xbox®️ Headset, connected to an Xbox®️ controller, connected to a PlayStation®️5 with no lag, which makes Cronus Zen the first device in the world to offer this unique feature. Note: See User Guide on how to set up Headsets with different controllers and consoles.
Using third-party devices with any online service is always a risk so there are no guarantees. Unlikely as that may be, it is always possible that you can be banned or blocked at any time without notice or warning.
However, Cronus connects to your console using an original, licensed controller, so the console always believes that you are gaming with a controller meant for the console you are playing on (example you can use an Xbox®️ Elite S2 controller on a PS4®️, or a mouse and keyboard on an Xbox Series X®️).
Cronus simply mimics button, stick and trigger presses/movements using scripts or ‘macros’ that allows you to connect a compatible controller to any supported console. Cronus does not “hack” anything in the game or console, nor does it allow you to do anything that the game itself does not allow.
All Bluetooth features are built straight into the device to give you a completely seamless and cost-effective experience. There are no expensive hidden extras. We do recommend that anyone with an Xbox®️ controller use the Xbox®️ Wireless Adapter.
The processing power of the Zen is exponentially more powerful than that of its predecessor, the CronusMAX PLUS, and features a new data transport engine that is currently featured in another device we provide to every professional team in the Call of Duty League and World Championships. We have worked closely with some of the best eSports players in the world to make sure that this hardware is as seamless as if you were connected directly to the console.
Yes! Cronus is a community-based product. The GPC Library and the thriving Cronus Community exist because of the input from the scripting scene that has grown around Cronus and the GPC language. Gamepacks and the GPC Library will always be available at Cronus. In addition, the Cronus Marketplace offers both free and paid scripts, with premium options created by handpicked community members to support their work.
We set out to make a Mouse & Keyboard to Console experience that was on par with the best. There’s a brand new M&K software interface that will change the way you play games. The setup is very intuitive and includes various presets. Most brands of Mouse and Keyboard are auto-detected – all you need to do is set the polling rate and dpi, connect to the Zen, select your game profile and go. That’s it!
YES, Absolutely. Collective Minds warrants its product to be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of 90 days from the date of purchase, as evidenced by the purchase receipt. During the warranty period, Collective Minds will repair or replace the product if defective. This warranty is limited to the original purchaser and is non-transferable.
You can use as many controllers as the console allows, however you can use one controller per Cronus Zen at any one time.
Zen takes on the “identity” of a controller and converts its signals digitally to the controller you wish to use. For example, if you have an Xbox Series X|S®️, the Cronus Zen will take on the identity of your Xbox®️ controller through the process of “Authentication”. The Security ID of that controller is then stored inside the Cronus Zen so that the Xbox®️ thinks that the Zen is in fact the Xbox®️ Controller. You can then connect any controller you wish to the Zen and it will convert the controller’s signals to the console in real-time. This allows you to use almost any controller on any console.
If you wish to use more controllers for crossover or macros on the same console, you would need a Zen for each controller.
Note: For correct “Authentication”, Cronus Zen requires a wired original licensed controller. You can find more information about Authentication, why it’s needed and how it works in the Zen User Guide.
Zen Studio is Windows-only software, however, you can run Windows®️ on a Mac®️ using various methods.
Yes, the software at the heart of Cronus Zen is Zen Studio for Windows.
