CSO settings

CSO uses a mouse sensitivity of 1.77 paired with a DPI setting of 400, resulting in an effective DPI (eDPI) of 708. This combination is favored by many professional players as it offers a balanced trade-off between precise aiming and swift movement, allowing for both accurate crosshair placement and quick reactions during intense gameplay.

CSO's current mouse of choice is the Razer Viper V3 Pro White. This mouse is renowned for its lightweight design and high-precision sensor, which can help reduce fatigue during long sessions and provide reliable tracking, contributing to consistent aim and swift flick shots in competitive play.

CSO opts for a 'Classic Static' crosshair style with a minimal gap of -3, short length of 2, and a thin thickness of 0.5, without a center dot. The crosshair color is a custom green (RGB 95, 95, 95) with partial transparency, providing high visibility on most backgrounds while remaining unobtrusive, which helps maintain focus on targets without visual distractions.

CSO uses the ZOWIE XL2546 monitor, a popular choice among esports professionals due to its high refresh rate and fast response times. He plays at a native 1920x1080 resolution with a 16:9 aspect ratio in fullscreen mode, ensuring smooth visuals and minimal input lag, which are critical for competitive FPS gameplay.

CSO prioritizes performance and clarity by disabling V-Sync and setting both shader and model/texture details to low. He uses anisotropic 4x texture filtering and 4x MSAA for anti-aliasing, balancing sharp image quality with high frame rates. Boost Player Contrast is enabled, which enhances enemy visibility, giving him a competitive edge in spotting opponents.

While specific in-game audio settings are not detailed, CSO uses the HyperX Cloud Alpha headset, renowned for its clear sound quality and precise directional audio. This choice likely allows him to accurately pinpoint enemy movements and environmental cues, which is crucial for high-level decision-making in Counter-Strike 2.

CSO maintains a HUD scale of 0.85 and uses team color for his HUD, offering a compact and easily readable interface. His radar is set to maximum size (1), with a map zoom of 0.5, and it rotates and centers on the player. These settings ensure he always has essential spatial information at a glance, aiding quick strategic decisions.

Historically, CSO has switched between high-end mice such as the Razer Viper V3 Pro White and the Logitech G Pro X Superlight Magenta, as well as mousepads like the ZOWIE G-SR-SE Rouge and VAXEE PA ZYGEN. These changes suggest an ongoing effort to fine-tune his setup for optimal comfort and performance, reflecting his adaptability and commitment to maintaining top-tier hardware standards.

CSO utilizes the ZOWIE XL2546's advanced features, setting DyAc to Premium for reduced motion blur, color vibrance to 15 for enhanced color distinction, and black equalizer to 1 to slightly brighten dark areas. These adjustments help him spot enemies more easily, particularly in shadowed or low-visibility parts of maps.

CSO's viewmodel is set with a FOV of 68, offset values of 2.5 (x), 0 (y), and -1.5 (z), and preset position 2, with bobbing disabled. This configuration keeps the weapon model unobtrusive, maximizing screen real estate and minimizing distractions, which helps maintain focus on crosshair placement and enemy positions during fast-paced engagements.
