Impulse settings

Impulse uses a Razer Viper V3 Pro White mouse set at 800 DPI with an in-game sensitivity of 1.05, resulting in an effective DPI (eDPI) of 840. This combination provides a balanced approach between swift crosshair movement and precise aiming, which is especially advantageous for tracking opponents and making micro-adjustments during intense firefights.

Impulse's crosshair is designed with a minimalistic approach: it features a very small length, a negative gap, and no center dot, using a static style (style 4) with a pure white color for maximum visibility. This configuration eliminates distractions and keeps the crosshair unobtrusive, which enhances precision and helps maintain focus during high-pressure situations.

Impulse relies on the ZOWIE XL2546K monitor, renowned in the esports community for its 240Hz refresh rate and extremely low input lag. This monitor choice ensures ultra-smooth motion clarity and rapid response times, giving Impulse a crucial edge in spotting and reacting to opponents faster than on standard displays.

Impulse plays at a resolution of 1280x960 with a 4:3 aspect ratio set to stretched mode. Many professional players opt for this setup because it makes enemy models appear wider, which can make them easier to spot and hit, while also reducing visual clutter for a cleaner competitive experience.

Impulse uses the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL White keyboard and the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro White headset. The TKL (Tenkeyless) keyboard offers more desk space for mouse movement, while the BlackShark V2 Pro provides high-quality positional audio, helping Impulse accurately pinpoint enemy movements during gameplay.

Impulse's crosshair does not utilize an outline, as the outline feature is disabled, but he opts for a solid white color with full opacity. This ensures the crosshair stands out against most backgrounds without introducing extra bulk, supporting rapid target acquisition and reducing visual distractions.

Impulse's mousepad of choice is the Razer Gigantus V2, which is known for its large surface area and consistent glide. This allows for broad, sweeping arm movements and precise control, complementing his moderate sensitivity and enabling both quick flicks and steady tracking during matches.

Impulse sets his viewmodel with a field of view (FOV) of 68 and custom offsets (x: 2.5, y: 0, z: -1.5) using preset position 2. These settings position the weapon model lower and farther to the right, maximizing on-screen space and ensuring that his view of the action remains as clear and unobstructed as possible.

Impulse plays in fullscreen mode with stretched scaling. Fullscreen mode reduces input lag and provides the most stable frame rates, while stretched scaling increases the apparent width of enemy models, making them easier to hit—both are common preferences among high-level Counter-Strike players.

Impulse uses a mouse polling rate of 1000Hz, which means his mouse sends input data to the computer 1000 times per second. This high polling rate ensures ultra-responsive cursor movement, minimizing input delay and giving him the fastest possible reaction times during critical moments in matches.
