I bought this device because I have an Xbox One fightstick, but I don't have an Xbox One. I assumed that the XBO version of the Razer Atrox woudl work on PC without problems, but it looks like it only works with Microsoft Store games on the Xbox App, not steam games (even though Xbox 360 and PS4 fightsticks work with steam just fine). That was a disappointment, but I figured I'd get the CronusMax Plus as a work around since I need a fightstick for my PS4 anyway. This thing is easy to set up and works like a charm. There's a work around for the PS4 so that the console doesn't negate the stick's functionality every 10 minutes. You'll need a USB hub for this, and luckily I had one from when I first purchased my PS4 since I hate the fact that it only has 2 USB ports. Once you get this thing set up, it's plug-and-play. I couldn't be happier that I only spent $50 for this converter instead of 3x as much for another fightstick. This also works on regular controllers as well, even PS4 and Wii U wirelessly with bluetooth.
To be honest. I should have done more homework on this before I bought it. If you are looking for something to help you cheat in COD or plan on using a variety of different controller types. Then this is for you. I bought this as a way to use my PS4 Madcatz TE2+ fight stick on my Xbox one. Come to find out that I would have to plug in and xbox one controller for authentication every time that I wanted to use my fight stick. I figured that I would just program something into it so I would not have to go through this process every time. The only solution I found was to use a USB hub. But that is just another thing to buy if you dont have one and it is a mess of wires. But I did come across something way better. Its called a Brook Super Converter. Its the simplified version of the Cronusmax. Its a USB stick that you plug into a console and plug in the controller that you want to use. But you can't program any kind of cheats like rapid fire or what have you. And each one is focused on something specific. For example the one I chose was PS3/PS4 to Xbox one/PC. Meaning that I can only use any PS3/PS4 controller on only Xbox one and PC. They have a great number of different combos of converters that should fit what you need. So I would give them a look over the cronusmax. Not to mention that the Brook Super Converter is a lot cheaper.
An immense amount of time (days) were needed for me to get it working and it won't work on PS4 games flawlessly. My gosh, it was hell but I Finally did get it working. You will need to download the PC software and update it to 1.20 firmware to get it to work with a USB hub without it disconnecting on the PS4 every 10 minutes for about 1.5 seconds.
I managed to make it work without any disconnects ever by very specifically connecting the controllers in the 1 and 4 slots of a 2.0 USB hub as their directions state. It works perfectly in a game like Call of Duty Black Ops 3 but there is a different feeling. I would say it is a minor amount of input lag so the smoothness of the controls aren't quite as on par as the stock PS4 controller. I was most excited to have it and use my elite controller with it.
UPDATE 2/14/16: After tinkering with the device settings in the cronus pro app and selecting speed settings: Inframe in, inframe out and 1ms response time, the input lag is so low I don't think I can tell it's there anymore if at all and the experience with all games is basically as good as PS4 and dependent on what controller you use. The elite definitely has a slightly different feel but now that the latency issue is resolved, using it instead of my PS4 controller is quite a pleasure because the ergonomics are better and the paddles definitely give you an edge once you get used to implementing them. I'd say go for it if you want to use a different controller. Even the xbox elite on your ps4 and or PC. It's worth it and surely future versions of their product will be faster and more efficient. iterations of the product, these problems will be resolved.
It does work once you figure it all out and it's a real pain to do that. I can't emphasize that enough. This is not intuitive at all but all answers can be found on youtube and through google. I managed to do it. I like it, I wish it was simpler to use and slightly more optimized with stock scripts/codes for each console it is on to feel just like that consoles stock controller but the deviation is barely noticeable. The other bonus is you can load "scripts" onto the stick which can improve your performance in the game. Some are definitely cheating but others are just cool, like I have the joystick set to keep me always sprinting in COD without actually having to click it down at all times. It's much more comfortable just to have that. Others will improve accuracy and do other things. Good luck. You're gonna need it kid but you will be happy with it once it's working. I am. I'm sure later versions will be very fine tuned.
Soy un jugador con mucha experiencia en pc y quise jugar bf1 con teclado y raton pero me doy cuenta que es horrible porque cuando hago movimientos rapidos el movimiento deja de reponder. Después de mucho investigar puedo decir que este error no tiene solucion. Un ejemplo de ello [...]
