cNed settings

cNed plays with a sensitivity of 0.3 and a DPI setting of 800, resulting in an effective DPI (eDPI) of 240. This relatively low sensitivity is favored by many professional players as it allows for more precise and controlled aiming, minimizing erratic crosshair movement and enabling finer adjustments during high-pressure situations.

cNed's current mouse is the Logitech G Pro X2 SUPERSTRIKE, paired with the Pulsar eS Saturn Pro Black mousepad. This combination is popular among esports professionals because the mouse is lightweight and features a high-performance sensor, while the mousepad offers a consistent glide and ample surface area. Together, they facilitate smooth, accurate tracking and quick flicks—critical for competitive Valorant play.

cNed utilizes a compact, static crosshair with no outlines or center dot, minimal length, and full opacity. This minimalist configuration ensures his view is unobstructed, allowing for precise aiming and fast target acquisition. Such a setup is especially effective in Valorant, where pixel-perfect shots can decide the outcome of engagements.

cNed plays on the ZOWIE XL2546K monitor, which is renowned for its 240Hz refresh rate and fast response times. The high refresh rate enables smoother visuals and more responsive gameplay, allowing cNed to react faster to in-game events and track opponents with greater clarity—an essential edge in high-level competitive matches.

cNed uses a standard yet efficient keybind layout, assigning his primary, secondary, and melee weapons to 1, 2, and 3, abilities to Q, E, and C, and his ultimate to X. Movement controls are mapped to familiar positions: jump on Space Bar, crouch on L-Ctrl, and walk on L-Shift. This intuitive setup enables quick access to abilities and weapons, supporting rapid decision-making and seamless movement during intense rounds.

cNed opts for low settings across most video options—including low texture, material, and detail quality, with features like bloom, vignette, and distortion turned off. He plays at a 1920x1080 resolution with fullscreen mode and a 16:9 aspect ratio. These settings maximize frame rates and reduce visual clutter, ensuring smooth gameplay and clearer visibility, which are vital for competitive play.

cNed sets his minimap size to 1.128 and zoom to 0.9, keeps the map oriented based on his side, and enables both vision cones and region names at all times. He also keeps the player centered on the minimap. This comprehensive setup ensures that he always has critical information about teammate positions, enemy sightings, and map regions, aiding in quick strategic decisions.

cNed relies on the Logitech G Pro X Headset, a model known for its clear sound quality and precise directional audio. This headset allows him to accurately pinpoint enemy footsteps, ability usage, and other critical audio cues, which are essential for maintaining situational awareness and reacting swiftly to threats in Valorant.

cNed's setup features an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card. This powerful combination ensures high frame rates and minimal input lag, even during the most graphically intense moments. Such hardware allows him to fully leverage his high-refresh-rate monitor, delivering a consistently smooth and responsive gaming experience.

According to his gear history, cNed has previously used the ZOWIE U2 mouse and the Zowie G-SR II mousepad before switching to his current setup. Professional players often experiment with different peripherals to find the optimal balance of comfort, control, and performance, adjusting their equipment as new products are released or as their personal preferences evolve.
