I've been looking for a solution to my problems with using the PS3 controller. I dislike the way the controller feels in my hands, so when I found the Cronus I thought my problem would soon be resolved. The Cronus Adapter arrived on time as expected and was in normal clam shell packaging.
However, when I plugged the adapter into my PS3 and my wired Xbox 360 controller into the adapter I was greeting with absolutely nothing. No connectivity, no indication that the device was even working. After pouring over the poorly thrown together instructions included with the product I decided to take my search for answers online. first looking at the companies website. After tinkering with the included cable and the software that is not included (must be downloaded from their website) I managed to get the adapter to light up, with the display showing that it was ready to be loaded with a profile from the program.
After setting everything up I plugged the adapter into my PC to test the setting to make sure everything was in working order. about four to five seconds after plugging the adapter into my computer, it blue screens and shuts off. Something my computer never does. So I thought that it was just a fluke. maybe my computer is just getting old. I shrugged off the looming thought of having to buy a new laptop and restarted the testing process and wouldn't you know it. The little adapter that wasn't doing squat just a couple hours ago was now an instant blue screen key of death. neato.
So After this adventure in destroying my computer I unplug the device and put it up till the next day, when I can talk to their tech support to see if I can sort out the matter and get the little bugger working. But much to my dismay, although not surprising after seeing the quality of their product, their tech support is magically unreachable. Neither by phone or internet. So here I sit with a 70 dollar blue screen dongle.
to cut it short; It's a junk product, that doesn't work, is over priced for not working, and has absolutely zero customer service to back it up. Save your money folks. it just isn't worth it.
