XigN settings

XigN utilizes a sensitivity setting of 2.2 in combination with a DPI of 400, resulting in an effective eDPI of 880. This configuration offers a balanced trade-off between precision and speed, allowing for controlled micro-adjustments during aiming while still enabling swift crosshair movements across the screen—a setup favored by many professional players seeking both accuracy and rapid response in high-pressure situations.

XigN’s crosshair is configured as a static, minimalistic crosshair with a gap of -2, length of 3, and thickness of 1, without a center dot or outline. The crosshair color is set to pure white (RGB 255,255,255), offering high visibility against most backgrounds. This design minimizes distractions and allows for precise aiming, making it easier to track targets and control spray patterns during intense firefights.

XigN uses the ZOWIE XL2546 monitor, a popular choice among professional Counter-Strike players due to its high refresh rate and low input lag. The XL2546 supports up to 240Hz, which provides exceptionally smooth motion clarity and allows for more responsive in-game actions, giving XigN a competitive edge in fast-paced duels and quick reaction scenarios.

XigN plays at a resolution of 1280x960 with a 4:3 aspect ratio, utilizing a stretched scaling mode. This setup is renowned for enlarging player models, making them easier to spot, and is widely adopted by professional players aiming to maximize their reaction time and target acquisition in competitive matches.

XigN chooses the SteelSeries Rival 110 mouse paired with the SteelSeries QcK Heavy mousepad. The Rival 110 is known for its lightweight design and reliable sensor, while the QcK Heavy provides a large, consistent surface with ample cushioning. Together, they offer smooth and precise tracking, supporting XigN’s need for both accuracy and comfort during extended gaming sessions.

XigN currently uses the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro keyboard, known for its ultra-fast optical switches and robust build quality. This keyboard provides rapid actuation and durability, enabling quick and reliable key presses that are crucial for executing complex movement and utility usage in high-stakes matches.

For audio, XigN utilizes the HyperX Cloud Revolver S headset, which is acclaimed for its clear soundstage and comfortable fit. This headset allows him to accurately pinpoint enemy footsteps and environmental cues, significantly improving his situational awareness and reaction time during critical moments.

XigN sets his zoom sensitivity to 1, meaning his scoped sensitivity remains consistent with his unscoped sensitivity. This uniformity helps maintain muscle memory when switching between different weapons, ensuring accuracy and confidence when handling sniper rifles or other scoped firearms.

XigN opts for fullscreen display mode with stretched scaling. Fullscreen mode reduces input lag and maximizes performance, while stretched scaling on a 4:3 resolution enlarges player models horizontally, making them easier to spot and track—an advantage often leveraged by professional players for improved target visibility.

XigN’s keyboard history includes both the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro and the HyperX Alloy FPS. This shift towards the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro, with its advanced optical switches, suggests a preference for faster, more responsive hardware as his career has progressed, reflecting his commitment to optimizing his input devices for peak competitive performance.
