Computer and console modders embody the "where there's a will, there's a way" philosophy to a tee; generally speaking, if you've ever thought "wouldn't it be nice if..." then someone, somewhere has probably already unlocked the facility to do so.

Such is the case with the CronusMAX, a gizmo that will plug in to pretty much any USB-equipped computer or console and allow you to make use of controllers that weren't originally designed for that system. In other words, you could be using your DualShock 4 on a PC, or a Wii Remote on an Xbox 360.

Most recently, mod team Team Xecuter has been working on adding Xbox One support to the CronusMAX device, and has succeeded in their efforts. The device, when plugged into an Xbox One, now supports keyboard and mouse; DualShock 3 and 4 in wired and wireless modes; Xbox 360 controllers in wired and wireless modes; PS3- and Xbox 360-compatible arcade sticks; Wii Remotes; and Wii U Pro controllers. The Xbox One supports also allows you to make use of the CronusMAX's scripting and macro functionality, effectively turning any controller into a programmable input device -- particularly useful for those of us who are not very good at inputting fighting game command combinations.

Here's a video of the device working its magic on Xbox One.

CronusMAX is simply a plug-in USB device rather than something you have to open up your console and solder into place, so it's safe to use and shouldn't invalidate your warranty. Similar devices have been around for previous-generation consoles for a while -- I own several cables that allow me to connect DualShock 2s to the PlayStation 3's USB ports, for example -- but CronusMAX takes things a step further than a simple compatibility cable with its programming functionality and customization features, with the ability to set up different profiles for different control schemes and games, then switch between them as required.
