CronusMAX Plus 2017 Version Gaming Adapter with Add On Pack For PS4 PS3 Xbox One Xbox 360 PC

I bought the CronusMAX Plus yesterday after wanting to play a number of games I've bought for my Xbox 360 that simply do not allow me to play them left-handed. They've been on my shelf for a long time as I wasn't keen on performing permanent mods to my gamepads with a scalpel and soldering iron etc.With the CronusMAX Plus I simply wanted to swap the left and right analogue sticks by remapping them. At first I was a bit overwhelmed by the Cronus Pro 1.2 software (downloadable) and online manual, but I struck gold when I ran a CronusMAX Plus plugin called MAX Mapper which comes with the program. (NOTE: Using the Xbox 360 software to switch how the gamepad analogue sticks function does not always override the settings in some games like Dead Space, hence being stuck with the default right stick for looking and left stick for moving which is totally unnatural for me and many other lefties.)With the CronusMAX Plus dongle connected to my laptop and an official, wired Xbox 360 controller connected to the CronusMAX Plus, I set about creating a new script in MAX Mapper by selecting the Xbox 360 controller as the input and an Xbox 360 console as the output. An image of the Xbox 360 controller appeared on the screen with simple drop down menus next to the buttons and sticks. Remapping the left and right sticks by changing the mapping in this way was a doddle and took about a minute to complete. I then saved the script I had created in MAX Mapper and loaded it into the CronusMax Pro 'Programmer' window.In the 'Programmer' window I then simply dragged the script I had created onto the first of nine memory slots that are displayed in the right-hand side of the screen. (NOTE: These slots reflect the fact there are nine available memory slots on the CronusMAX Plus dongle which can be selected by pressing a small butting on the dongle when it is plugged into a console.)Programming the dongle with my script was simply a case of ticking a box next to Memory Slot 1 and selecting the 'Program Device' button on screen. Once the dongle was programmed with my script (it took a few seconds) I unplugged it and plugged it into my Xbox 360. The Xbox 360 controller remained plugged into the dongle. The dongle immediately lit up and I could see a green '0' on the small LED display which I changed to '1' with a press of the button on the dongle in order to activate my script in the first memory slot.Hey presto! It worked a treat. No lag (Cronus say it is under 2ms and I don't doubt them) and perfect, left-handed control over Dead Space and other games I can't wait to play properly. There are many ways you can use this wonderful piece of technology with various controllers and consoles etc. but for me, what I have been able to achieve with a bit of tinkering today is amazing, and the CronusMAX Plus has already paid for itself.NOTE: To use my Xbox 360 wireless controller I need to use an Xbox wireless receiver plugged into the CronusMAX dongle before it can then pass the modified control data through to the Xbox. I have just ordered a new, official Microsoft one for approx £16 which will arrive tomorrow.There are two other USB dongles that are supplied in the package that perform extra functions and appear to be for Sony controllers and/or consoles so I have not needed to look into these yet.In conclusion, I highly recommend this product, especially if you are prepared to put in the time to learn how to use it properly.

The overall product is quite simple to use and everything.It just came to using the device with the console where it became a little confusing.Think it would be easier if you was more into the deeper tech side of things.

I bought the CronusMAX Plus 2017 to use Playstation controllers (of which I have many) with an Xbox 360 I was given, because I had no Xbox remotes. Lo and behold, you must leave a legit Xbox 360 plugged in to the CronusMAX Plus to "authenticate" at all times, otherwise your Playstation controller will randomly disconnect. You also need one dongle per controller. Long story short, per PS controller with Xbox with this tool, you must have 1x dongle and 1x Xbox 360 controller, which completely defeats the purpose and is not affordable.It's also stupidly expensive for what it does, and is a "legacy" product, so unsupported by the manufacturers and the driver software is online-only and a pain to use.I recommend the Brook Wingman XB2, which works out of the box; buy second-hand if possible, as it is also very expensive. Avoid the CronusMAX Plus (janky, complicated), Mayflash Magic X, NS2 (neither works with Xbox 360, though they work with Xbox One and XInput; Mayflash support said they're launching a product that will work with Xbox 360 sometime in 2024/25) and the 8Bitdo USB Wireless adapter (doesn't work with Xbox 360).

Amazing piece of tech as I can now play fps's on my PS4 using my Xbox one controller...alot more comfortable. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because I found the setup a bit fiddly and with regards to the game packs, scripts etc it's quite confusing until you have watched about 5-10 videos on how they work and I can honestly I'm still not sure im using this efficiently. Also the adapter does not work with my razor wolverine wired controller which is also a bit of a disappointment.

I love this thing, in no time I was able to update the firmware and get my xbox 360 stick working on my PS4. You'll need a USB hub with this thing, otherwise the controller will stop working for 1 second every 8-10 minutes, this can be terrible if you're in the middle of some intense action. However this thing can be programmed, in just an hour I was able to write a small script to warn me when the timeout is coming to an end and let me push a button combination to do the reset manually at a quiet time. Looking forward to writing some more scripts for the device in order to overcome some annoying button combinations in games I like.

my original review was negative. i was a bit hasty. give it time with this product. when you install the software it will appear like a "Trojan Virus Attack" . this put me right off. allow the program through the virus checker , (its a hair raising moment) but all is well and the product works very well. my apologies to Cronusmax , the key to using this product is patience and balls to begin with. it does work. not all mods work as they say , but enough do to make it a worthwhile buy.
