Avid settings

Avid utilizes a Razer Viper V3 Pro Faker Edition mouse set at 800 DPI, with an in-game sensitivity of 1.1. This combination results in an effective eDPI of 880, providing a balance between swift turning and precise crosshair control, which is favored by players who value both accuracy and the ability to react quickly in high-stakes situations.

Avid employs a classic static crosshair with a minimalistic design: a very small gap, short length, zero thickness, and no center dot, all rendered in green. This compact and unobtrusive configuration allows for clear visibility of targets without distraction, making it easier to maintain focus on enemy models and execute precise shots during intense firefights.

Avid plays on the ZOWIE XL2566K, a highly regarded esports monitor known for its extremely high refresh rate and fast response time. Such a monitor provides ultra-smooth motion clarity, allowing Avid to react instantaneously to in-game events and maintain a competitive edge through reduced input lag and ghosting.

Avid's keyboard is the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL Black, paired with the Razer Gigantus V2 mousepad. The tenkeyless keyboard offers more desk space for mouse movement, which is essential for low to medium sensitivity players, while the large, consistent surface of the Gigantus V2 ensures smooth and reliable tracking, supporting Avid’s precision aiming.

Avid sets his HUD color to 'Team Color' and uses a HUD scale of 0.85. This smaller, team-oriented HUD layout helps minimize screen clutter and keeps essential information visible without overwhelming the display, allowing Avid to maintain situational awareness while keeping his focus on the action.

Avid’s viewmodel is set with a field of view of 68, offset to the right (x: 2.5), slightly above default (y: 0), and closer to the screen (z: -2), using preset position 0. This configuration minimizes weapon model obstruction while maximizing peripheral vision, aiding in quicker spotting of opponents and improved crosshair alignment.

Avid uses the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro Black headset, a model renowned for its clear directional audio and comfortable fit. This headset enables Avid to discern subtle in-game sounds, such as footsteps and utility usage, which is crucial for making informed decisions and gaining an auditory advantage over opponents.

Avid launches the game with the options '-novid -tickrate 128.' Disabling the intro video (-novid) speeds up game startup, while forcing a 128 tickrate ensures the best possible server responsiveness and consistency during practice or offline play, which is vital for maintaining high-level mechanics and timing.

Avid sets his mouse polling rate to 1000 Hz, meaning the mouse reports its position to the computer 1000 times per second. This high polling rate translates to smoother and more responsive cursor movement, minimizing input delay and providing the precise control necessary for competitive FPS play.

With a zoom sensitivity ratio of 0.8189330271, Avid maintains a consistent feel between regular and scoped aiming. This fine-tuned value helps ensure that his muscle memory transfers seamlessly when switching to sniper rifles, allowing for precise adjustments and accurate shots while scoped in, which is essential for consistent performance with AWP or other scoped weapons.
