INS settings

INS plays with a sensitivity of 1.1 and a DPI setting of 800, resulting in an effective eDPI of 880. This combination is favored by many professional players as it provides a balance between precise aiming and swift movement, enabling fine control for accurate shots without sacrificing the ability to make quick adjustments in fast-paced situations.

INS uses a classic static crosshair with a minimal gap of -3, a short length of 2, and no center dot, all rendered in a vibrant green color with maximum opacity. This setup prioritizes clarity and precision, ensuring that the crosshair is highly visible against diverse backgrounds while maintaining minimal visual obstruction, which is critical for accurate aiming during engagements.

INS’s most recent mouse choice is the Logitech G Pro X2 SUPERSTRIKE (Unreleased). This mouse is designed for competitive gaming, offering high-end sensor accuracy and a lightweight build, which together enhance swift and precise movements required in high-stakes matches. The performance and ergonomics of this mouse support extended play without fatigue, aligning with the demands of professional play.

INS uses the ZOWIE XL2566K monitor, a popular choice among esports professionals due to its high refresh rate and responsiveness. He sets the monitor’s Color Vibrance to 13 and Black Equalizer to 12, which help in distinguishing enemy players in dark areas and enhancing overall color clarity, giving him a visual edge in spotting opponents quickly.

INS plays at a 1024x768 resolution with a 4:3 aspect ratio, stretched on fullscreen mode. Most graphics settings are set to low or disabled, such as shader and particle detail, to prioritize high frame rates and reduce visual clutter. However, he enables settings like Boost Player Contrast and high global shadow quality to ensure crucial gameplay elements remain clear and visible.

INS’s current keyboard is the Wooting 80HE Black, a cutting-edge analog keyboard known for its rapid response times and customizable actuation points. This technology allows for more precise movement and faster reaction times, which can be a significant advantage in clutch situations where every millisecond counts.

Over his career, INS has used several high-performance mice, including models from VAXEE and Logitech. His progression from the Logitech G Pro Wireless through various VAXEE XE V2 models to the latest Logitech G Pro X2 SUPERSTRIKE reflects a continuous search for the optimal blend of comfort, weight, and sensor performance to match his evolving playstyle and the demands of top-level competition.

INS employs a comprehensive set of launch options including parameters like '-freq 240' to match his monitor’s refresh rate, '-high' for process priority, and '-noforcemparms' suite to standardize mouse input. These settings are chosen to minimize input lag, ensure smooth gameplay, and eliminate unnecessary startup delays, all of which are vital for peak in-game performance.

INS's current headset is the HyperX Cloud III Black, which is renowned for its comfort and high-fidelity audio. This headset delivers clear directional sound cues, which are essential for detecting enemy footsteps and other in-game audio signals, thereby providing a crucial auditory advantage in competitive matches.

INS configures his viewmodel with a field of view of 68, offsetting the model to 2.5 on the X-axis, 0 on the Y-axis, and -1.5 on the Z-axis, and disables viewmodel bob. He also sets his HUD color to bright white and scales it to 0.85. These settings reduce on-screen distractions and ensure that key visual information is easily accessible, helping maintain focus and situational awareness during intense matches.
