The short answer is YES.

It is impossible for the human eye to notice any lag caused by the CronusMAX PLUS, therefore in this context it is Lag Free.

Technically, like any electronics device, data processing and all tasks performed by the micro-processor are time consuming. However our firmware is highly optimized. We use a programming technique which is free of blocking instructions and entirely based on events. Thus we achieved an extremely low response time, within a couple of milliseconds.

A crucial step was missed during the installation of Cronus PRO.  Please follow the guide found here to resolve the issue.

You can use one controller per CronusMAX at any one time. The CronusMAX 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 One, the CronusMAX will take on the identity of your Xbox One controller through the process of “Authentication”. The Security ID of that Xbox One controller is then stored inside the CronusMAX so that the Xbox One thinks that the CronusMAX is in fact the Xbox One Controller. You can then connect any controller you wish to the CronusMAX and it will convert a controllers signals through the CronusMAX to the console. This allows you to use almost any controller on any console. Note: The controller that is used for “Authentication” cannot be used while the CronusMAX is in use as it has borrowed the security ID of that controller. A console only allows one unique security ID to be used at any one time.

A USB bluetooth adapter is required if you wish to use a PS4, PS3 or Wii U Pro controller in wireless mode (any console). We recommend for optimal results you use a Bluetooth 4.0 standard however a 2.0+ EDR standard will work just fine. A bluetooth adapter is not required if you wish to use Xbox controllers.

The short answer is yes but requires a more detailed explanation. Although some wheels work out of the box, most Racing Wheels such as Logitech G27 and most Fanatec brands require a special mode called PS4 Wheel Mode and require a USB Hub and works only on the PS4 BUT supports Full Force Feedback. For consoles such as the Xbox One or wheels like the Thrustmaster you also require a Windows PC to be connected to the CronusMAX along with a special plugin (X-AIM, or MAX Input) and dedicated scripts that have been pre-made by our team of specialists.

Our support community has a large user base of racing wheels owners who all give each other support and advice on how to optimized their gaming rigs. There are also many videos and guides to help you get the best our of your CronusMAX and Racing Wheel enjoyment. Click here for more detailed information.

Due to how the CronusMAX communicates with PS4, Xbox One and Xbox 360 controllers, you will not be able to use a chatpad or any wired headsets that plug into the controller itself. However, any headset that can connect directly to the console either wired or wireless should fine work as long as it does not plug into the CronusMAX, or into a controller that is being utilized by the CronusMAX at that current time. Click Here for a list of compatible headsets.

GamePacks are created by a team of expert gamers who spend hours playing each game and customize each script to work specifically for that game to give custom mod features that will enhance gameplay that will give you a competitive edge.

For a full list of GamePacks click here. You will be able to see which features are available for each GamePack. If you love any of these games – the mods within the GamePacks will blow your mind!

A GamePack consists of Classes and Mods. The main category is a Class so for example you may have a RapidFire Class. Then that class will have a number of Mods which are variations of that RapidFire Class which will be optimized for that particular game.

For example, a GamePack may have a RapidFire Class with 3 Mods, so:

Class Name: RapidFire
When rapid fire is enabled, you can turn virtually any semi automatic weapon into a fully automatic weapon. This creates a very unique advantage for players using semi automatic weapons. While rapid fire will not usually make a fully automatic gun shoot any faster, it can have positive side effects on fully automatic guns such as reducing recoil, helping players conserve ammunition and achieve more headshots.

Mod 1: Optimized RapidFire – This rapid fire is optimized to be as fast as possible but at the same time ensure that every single shot will be correctly registered by the game.
Mod 2: Adjustable RapidFire – With adjustable rapid fire you can always get the optimum firepower for your favorite weapon. The rate of fire can be pre-set in Cronus PRO or on the fly using the in-game controller menu.
Mod 3: Pulse RapidFire – Pulse rapid fire can reach a faster rate of fire with burst type weapons.

In a nutshell Rapid Fire allows you to shoot your weapons at the maximum rate of fire the gun allows.

Drop Shot allows you to quickly lay down while avoiding opponent fire and shooting at the same time. This feature will catch most of your opponents off guard.

Auto Burst allows you to set any weapon to a burst weapon. Set your weapon to shoot 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 bursts with one tap of the trigger.

Quick Scope automatically scopes in and shoots with the press of the designated trigger.

Sniper Breath automatically holds your breath when scoping with a sniper rifle.

Jitter turns any 3 burst weapon into a fully automatic for ultimate firepower. Hugely popular mod!

Auto-Aim automatically head tracks your closest opponent.

Fast Reload works off a glitch in the game which allows us to cut out the animation clip of your character reloading his weapon. This mod is ideal for heavy machine guns.

Active Reload works off preset timings that hit a perfect reload every time.
