Calyx settings

Calyx uses a mouse sensitivity of 2 combined with an 800 DPI setting, resulting in an effective eDPI of 1600. This balance allows for precise, controlled movements while still enabling swift turns and flicks, a configuration favored by many professional players to maintain accuracy during high-pressure situations.

Calyx utilizes a Classic Static crosshair with a minimal gap of -4, a length and thickness of 1, and no center dot. The cyan color, set with RGB values of 100/100/100, ensures high visibility against most in-game backgrounds. This compact and unobtrusive design provides a clear view of targets, facilitating consistent precision and quick target acquisition.

Calyx plays on a ZOWIE XL2586X monitor, renowned for its high refresh rates and esports-focused features. He configures his game at a 1280x960 resolution with a 4:3 aspect ratio, running in fullscreen mode with stretched scaling. This setup enlarges character models and streamlines visual information, helping with target spotting and reaction times.

Calyx prioritizes performance and clarity by disabling V-Sync, ambient occlusion, and NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency. He uses low settings for shader, particle, and model texture detail while maintaining high global shadow quality and 8x MSAA for anti-aliasing. These choices ensure smooth gameplay at high frame rates, reducing distractions and input lag during competitive play.

Calyx relies on the HyperX Cloud II headset paired with Razer Hammerhead Pro V2 earphones, ensuring crisp and clear audio cues. Although specific in-game audio settings aren’t detailed, his choice of equipment is tailored to accurately distinguish directional sounds like footsteps and gunfire, which are critical for situational awareness in Counter-Strike 2.

Calyx uses the Logitech G715 keyboard, known for its responsive mechanical switches. While the exact keybinds are not specified, professional players like Calyx typically customize their controls to maximize comfort and efficiency, ensuring quick access to essential actions such as weapon switching, utility use, and movement.

Calyx sets his monitor’s color vibrance to 15 and black equalizer to 12, with low blue light at 0. These adjustments enhance enemy visibility by making colors more vivid and brightening dark areas, allowing him to spot opponents more easily, especially in shadowy corners, without causing visual fatigue during long sessions.

Calyx configures his radar with a HUD size of 1 and a map zoom of 0.4, ensuring a broad overview of the map. The radar is set to rotate and center on the player, and toggling the shape with the scoreboard is enabled. His HUD color is set to team color with a scale of 0.85, providing clear, concise information without cluttering the screen.

Calyx’s viewmodel is set with an FOV of 60, offsets of 1 for x and y, and -1 for z, using preset position 1 with bobbing disabled. This configuration keeps the weapon model compact and unobtrusive, maximizing screen real estate for spotting enemies and improving overall visual clarity during engagements.

Calyx uses the Artisan FX Hien XSoft Wine Red mousepad, a premium surface known for its balance between speed and control. The extra soft texture allows for smooth, precise movements while minimizing friction, supporting consistent aim tracking and micro-adjustments crucial for high-level Counter-Strike 2 play.
