iM settings

iM uses a mouse sensitivity of 2.3 paired with a DPI setting of 400, resulting in an effective eDPI of 920. This combination allows for precise crosshair control and smooth tracking, which is ideal for the high accuracy demands of professional play in Counter-Strike 2.

iM opts for a Classic Static crosshair style with a minimalistic design, featuring a small gap of -2, length of 2, and zero thickness, all without a center dot. The crosshair is colored cyan with high alpha for visibility, which ensures it stands out against most in-game backgrounds, aiding in quick target acquisition without visual distractions.

iM plays on a ZOWIE XL2586X+ monitor, which is renowned for its high refresh rates and esports-optimized features. He sets color vibrance to 10 and black equalizer to 9, enhancing enemy visibility in both bright and dark areas, while low blue light is set to 0 to maintain color accuracy and reduce visual fatigue during long practice or match sessions.

iM uses a 1280x960 resolution with a 4:3 aspect ratio in fullscreen mode and stretches the image for a wider player model appearance. Most graphics settings like shader detail, particle detail, and model texture detail are set to low, while global shadow quality is at very high for better enemy visibility. NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency is enabled, ensuring minimal input lag for responsive gameplay.

iM’s launch options include commands such as -novid to skip the intro video, -tickrate 128 for high server tick rate, -refresh 240 and -freq 240 to match his monitor’s high refresh rate, and network optimization commands like +cl_cmdrate 128 and +cl_updaterate 128. These settings help ensure the game runs smoothly and responsively with minimal delay.

For audio, iM uses the Logitech G PRO X 2 Headset White and Sennheiser CX 300S earphones, which are both known for their high clarity and precise directional sound. This setup allows him to accurately pinpoint enemy footsteps and other crucial audio cues, giving him a competitive edge in high-stakes matches.

iM uses the Logitech G Pro X TKL RAPID Black keyboard, a tenkeyless model favored by pros for its compactness and fast response times. While specific keybinds are not listed, the choice of a TKL keyboard suggests a preference for more mouse space, which is essential for his relatively low sensitivity and wide mouse movements.

iM's hardware setup includes an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Super graphics card. This powerful combination ensures consistently high frame rates and minimal system latency, which are critical for maintaining smooth gameplay and rapid reaction times in competitive CS2 environments.

iM customizes his viewmodel with a field of view (FOV) of 60, offsets of 0 on the X-axis, -2 on the Z-axis, and preset position 1. This configuration keeps the weapon model low and centered, maximizing peripheral vision and minimizing distractions, which is particularly advantageous during fast-paced engagements.

Historically, iM has used both the ZOWIE XL2586X+ and XL2546K monitors, with the most recent setup favoring the XL2586X+ for its superior refresh rate and features. For viewmodel settings, he previously used an offset_y of 1 and preset position 0, but currently opts for offset_y 0 and preset position 1, indicating a shift towards a more streamlined and unobtrusive weapon display for improved focus and situational awareness.
