The CronusMax can be used with or without a USB hub with the XBox One. 
 
The authentication challenge and response happens once at startup so when the connection is authenticated there is no need for a continuous connection with the XBox One controller like there is with the PS4.
 
Remove the battery pack from the game controller to ensure it turns off after authenticating the CronusMax. 
 
|  CronusMax Plus  Needs to be running most recent firmware (V1.24).  Use CronusPro  to perform firmware updates.  | 
|  Wireless Controller  Must be a Microsoft brand Wired or Wireless Controller.  Other 3rd party XBox One controllers will not work to authenticate the CronusMax.   | 
|  Remove Batteries  If the battery pack is not removed, the Wireless controller will prevent the CronusMax from working.   |
