alpha settings

alpha utilizes a Logitech G Pro X Superlight Red mouse set to 400 DPI and a sensitivity of 1.69, resulting in an effective eDPI of 676. This configuration offers a balanced approach between precise crosshair control and swift turning, favoring consistent tracking and accurate flick shots, which are crucial for high-level play.

alpha uses a Classic Static crosshair style with a minimal gap of -2.1, a short length of 2.5, and a thickness of 1. The crosshair is colored cyan with full RGB values for maximum visibility and has no center dot or outline. This compact and clean design minimizes distractions, providing clear target acquisition and maintaining high visibility against various backgrounds in-game.

alpha's current monitor is the ZOWIE XL2546K, a popular choice among professional players for its high refresh rate and dynamic accuracy features. This monitor enables ultra-smooth motion and reduces input lag, which is critical for fast-paced games like Counter-Strike 2, ensuring split-second reactions are accurately reflected on screen.

alpha plays at a 1280x960 resolution with a 4:3 aspect ratio, using a stretched scaling mode. This setup makes player models appear wider, which can make opponents easier to spot and hit, a common preference among competitive Counter-Strike players seeking every possible advantage in visibility and target acquisition.

alpha's system is built around an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card, both of which are top-tier components. This hardware combination ensures consistently high frame rates and smooth gameplay, even during graphically intensive moments, reducing the risk of performance-related issues during crucial matches.

alpha uses the Logitech G715 keyboard and the SteelSeries QcK Heavy mousepad. The G715 offers responsive keystrokes for rapid input, while the QcK Heavy provides a large, stable surface with excellent glide, supporting precise mouse movements and consistent tracking—both essential for competitive play.

alpha's viewmodel is set to a field of view of 68 with custom offsets (x: 2.5, y: 0, z: -1.5) and preset position 2, with viewmodel bobbing disabled. This configuration keeps weapon models unobtrusive, maximizing on-screen space for spotting opponents and maintaining focus on crosshair placement.

alpha currently uses the HyperX Cloud Alpha S Black headset, known for its clear audio reproduction and comfortable fit. This headset allows alpha to accurately discern directional cues and subtle in-game sounds such as footsteps or reloads, which are vital for situational awareness and strategic decision-making.

While alpha's current setup includes the Logitech G Pro X Superlight Red mouse and the HyperX Cloud Alpha S Black headset, his gear history shows he previously used the standard HyperX Cloud Alpha S headset as well. This demonstrates a preference for consistent, high-quality peripherals and a willingness to update to newer or more comfortable versions as they become available, ensuring optimal performance.

alpha opts not to use crosshair outlines or recoil-following features, maintaining a static crosshair that does not visually respond to weapon recoil or movement. This minimalist approach reduces visual clutter and distractions, allowing alpha to rely on muscle memory and game sense for recoil control rather than dynamic visual cues.
