Calyx settings

Calyx uses a sensitivity of 2 combined with an 800 DPI setting, resulting in a total eDPI of 1600. This configuration strikes a balance between precise crosshair control and swift movement, allowing him to make rapid yet accurate adjustments during high-pressure scenarios, which is essential for competitive play.

Calyx utilizes a classic static crosshair with a minimalistic design—featuring a very small gap, short length, and thin lines, all without a center dot or outline. The cyan color choice, along with 100% RGB saturation and full opacity, ensures maximum visibility against diverse backgrounds without obstructing his vision. This clean configuration supports precise aiming and quick target acquisition.

Calyx plays on the ZOWIE XL2586X, a high-end esports monitor known for its fast refresh rates and low input lag. While his launch options indicate a 240Hz refresh rate, this monitor ensures smooth visuals and responsive gameplay, giving him a competitive edge in spotting and reacting to opponents quickly.

Calyx opts for a 1280x960 resolution with a 4:3 aspect ratio in fullscreen mode, using a stretched scaling method. This setup provides larger player models and reduces visual distractions, making it easier to spot enemies. He also disables V-Sync and G-Sync to minimize input lag and maximize frame rates, reaching up to 700 FPS in-game.

Calyx configures his mouse to a 1000Hz polling rate, ensuring rapid and consistent communication between his mouse and computer. He keeps his Windows sensitivity at the default value of 6, which avoids any unwanted acceleration or scaling, resulting in raw, predictable mouse movement in-game.

Calyx prioritizes low visual detail settings such as low shader, model, and particle detail, disabling effects like ambient occlusion and boost player contrast. He keeps global shadow quality high and uses 8x MSAA for anti-aliasing, striking a balance between clear visuals for spotting enemies and maintaining high, stable FPS.

Calyx relies on the HyperX Cloud II headset, known for its clear directional audio and comfort during long play sessions. He supplements this with Razer Hammerhead Pro V2 earphones, ensuring he can always pick up subtle in-game cues like enemy footsteps and grenade pins, which are vital for high-level decision-making.

Calyx uses a viewmodel with a field of view set to 60 and offsets of (1, 1, -1), along with preset position 1. This setup minimizes weapon model intrusion on the screen, allowing for a better view of the environment and enemy positions, which is critical for maintaining full situational awareness during engagements.

Calyx sets his radar to a zoom level of 0.4 with HUD size at 1, enabling player centering and map rotation. This configuration provides a comprehensive overview of the map and teammate positions without cluttering the screen, ensuring that he can quickly interpret tactical information and adjust his play accordingly.

Calyx’s setup includes the ZOWIE FK2-DW mouse, Logitech G715 keyboard, Artisan FX Hien XSoft mousepad, Intel Core i7-10700K processor, MSI MAG Z490 Tomahawk motherboard, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card. This top-tier combination of peripherals and hardware ensures ultra-smooth performance, precise input, and minimal latency, all of which are essential for maintaining consistency at the highest level of competition.
