🔷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 so it cannot support the features of any BEAM GamePack.

**A headset must be connected to the AUTH controller (In this case the standard DualSense that must be connected to A1). Tip: You can also connect a wireless headset directly to the PS5.

Here are the steps for setting up a DualSense or DualSense Edge controller to a PS5 using a Cronus Zen.

NOTE: These steps must be done every time you restart your PS5.

1. 1 Connect a standard DualSense Controller directly to your PS5.
2. 2 Go to Settings > Accessories > Turn Off Accessories > Select the DualSense controller so that it turns off.
3. 3 Unplug the DualSense from the PS5 and connect it to Zen's A1 USB port.
4. 4 Connect the Zen to the PS5 from its rear CONSOLE/PC USB port and wait for 10 secs.
5. 5 That's it! 🙂
6. 6 DUALSENSE EDGE & CROSSOVER: If you are using a DualSense Edge, or any other brand of controller, a standard DualSense® must always be connected to A1, and the controller you wish to game with then connects to USB ports A2 or A3.

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)

• Go to Settings > Accessories.
• Select DualSense Edge Wireless Controller > Custom Profiles
• Select Create Custom Profile, call it 'BEAM2.0', then select OK.
• Select the profile you created and...
• Right Stick Sensitivity Curve: Default
• Curve Adjustment: 0
• Deadzone Adjustment: 0%
