GameSir G7 Pro Wired Setup for Cronus Zen
Connect a GameSir G7 Pro with current firmware to Cronus Zen, select a polling rate in GameSir Nexus, and configure the correct wired ports for PS5 or PC.
Before connecting the GameSir G7 Pro
Make sure the GameSir G7 Pro is running its latest available firmware and use a reliable data-capable USB cable. This setup is for a wired connection through Cronus Zen.
Connect the controller to a PC or the Zen, then press and hold the Xbox button until the controller lights up.
Enter firmware mode after an update
After updating the controller firmware, hold MENU and SHARE together until the LED begins flashing. This step only needs to be completed once after a firmware update, not every time you connect the controller.
Set the polling rate in GameSir Nexus
Open the GameSir Nexus app on your Windows PC and select either 250Hz or 1000Hz. For PC play through Cronus Zen, use the 1000Hz option.
Allow the setting to save before unplugging the controller. If the selected rate does not appear to apply, reconnect the controller directly to the PC and check it again in Nexus.
Finish the Cronus Zen connection
- Connect the GameSir G7 Pro to the required USB port on the Cronus Zen.
- Wait until the corresponding Zen port LED lights up.
- Press the Xbox button on the controller once more to complete the wired connection.
- Test buttons and analogue sticks before loading or adjusting a script.
GameSir G7 Pro setup for PS5
PS5 setup requires an authentication controller alongside the GameSir. Connect the authentication controller to A1 and plug the GameSir G7 Pro into A3.
Keep both controllers connected while playing. If the GameSir does not respond, confirm the authentication controller is recognised first, then reconnect the GameSir and press its Xbox button.
| Zen port | PS5 device |
|---|---|
| A1 | Compatible authentication controller |
| A3 | GameSir G7 Pro |
GameSir G7 Pro setup for PC
For PC, connect the GameSir G7 Pro to A3 and confirm that 1000Hz is selected in the GameSir Nexus app. Connect the rear CONSOLE/PC port of the Zen directly to the gaming computer.
Avoid USB hubs during initial setup. A direct connection makes it easier to identify a cable, port, or controller-mode problem.
Troubleshooting a GameSir G7 Pro connection
- If the controller has power but no input, replace the USB cable with a known data-sync cable.
- If the Zen port LED stays off, reconnect the controller and hold the Xbox button until it lights.
- After a new controller firmware update, repeat the MENU and SHARE firmware-mode step once.
- On PS5, verify the authentication controller in A1 before troubleshooting the GameSir in A3.
- On PC, reopen GameSir Nexus and confirm the 1000Hz polling rate was saved.
