Connect & Configure

Get your mouse and keyboard working with the Cronus Zen™.

Once your mouse and keyboard are connected to the Cronus Zen™, they act as a controller. You will not be able to use them on your PC any more unless you switch them back manually.

Plan for a second set of mouse and keyboard, or a USB-powered MK Switch to toggle between PC and Zen.

1

Turn off scripts

Before connecting anything, press the right blue Memory Slot button on the Cronus Zen™ and cycle through until the Collective Minds logo appears on the OLED screen.

That means no GamePacks or scripts are active.

2

Connect your devices

Port	Device
A1	Controller
A2	Keyboard
A3	Mouse
PROG USB	Cable to your PC

3

Check device detection

Open Zen Studio on your PC, go to the Device tab, and look under Connected Devices. Your mouse and keyboard should appear.

A device shown with a question mark still works — it only means Zen Studio has no icon for that model.

4

Test the input

In Zen Studio, open Tools → Device Monitor.

Test	What you should see
Move the mouse	RX / RY values change — your mouse is read as right stick movement
Press W A S D	LX / LY values change — your keyboard is read as left stick movement
Press Space	Confirms additional mappings are working
