Does your PS4 timeout or randomly disconnect? Your DualShock 4 is probably still paired to your PS4 and not authorizing correctly through the CronusMAX and/or USB Hub.
This happens when users turn the PS4 console on with the DualShock 4 controller or accidentally power up the controller before connecting it to the USB Hub > CronusMAX.
Basically, the DualShock 4 is still wirelessly paired to the console from when it was previously being used - so of course the data from the controller is not passing through the USB hub via USB cable. All you need to do is unpair the controller fully from the PS4.
Here's a simple video showing exactley what you need to do (Thanks to @GL0ZZ3N):
The step by step instructions:
First make sure your Cronus PRO software is the latest version (at least 1.20) - there have been a large number of fixes since the last release.
Connect your DS4 controller to a CronusMAX with a micro USB cable - then connect the CronusMAX to the PS4 and power on using the console's power button.
On the PS4, go to: Settings > Devices > Bluetooth Devices > then select the controller > Press the Options Button > Forget Device
There is also a reset button on the back of newer model controllers that will remove all paired settings and set it to factory default status. (You still need to do the above).
- Turn off the PlayStation 4.
- Locate the small reset button on the back of the DualShock 4 near the L2 shoulder button.
- Use a small, unfolded paper-clip or something similar to push the button (the button is inside a tiny hole). Hold the button down for a couple of seconds and release.
If you are using a PS4 PRO console and a DualShock V2 (CUH-ZCT2U) you will also need to go into the settings and tell your controller to work over USB only and also to disable the controller's power saving settings. This is a mandatory procedure.
Now go through the steps again of connecting the DS4 to the USB Hub as the Authorization controller (or as a wired controller with USB Cable without a USB Hub).
No more problems with timing out on a PS4 when using cross-over controllers, and no more wireless lag issues if you are a pro gamer and want to use the CronusMAX so you have a wired DS4![]()
