JDC settings

JDC currently uses a mouse sensitivity of 1.25 with an 800 DPI setting, resulting in an effective eDPI of 1000. This combination is favored by many professional players as it strikes a balance between precise crosshair control for aiming and swift movement for quick turns, catering to both accuracy and mobility during high-stakes gameplay.

JDC utilizes a classic static crosshair with a very small gap of -4, minimal length and thickness, and no center dot, all set to a custom white color. This minimalist and high-contrast configuration ensures optimal visibility on any background and allows for precise aiming without distracting elements, which is especially beneficial during intense firefights.

JDC plays on the ZOWIE XL2566K monitor, a model renowned for its high refresh rate and advanced features tailored for esports. This monitor provides ultra-smooth motion clarity and customizable settings, giving JDC an edge in spotting opponents and reacting swiftly to in-game events.

JDC currently plays at a 1280x960 resolution with a 4:3 aspect ratio, using a stretched scaling mode. This setup makes character models appear wider and more prominent, which can make spotting enemies easier and improve reaction time—a common preference among professional Counter-Strike players seeking every possible advantage.

JDC’s current mouse is the ZOWIE FK2-DW, a device known for its lightweight design, symmetrical shape, and reliable sensor. These features are highly valued in professional play because they allow for swift, consistent flicks and comfortable extended usage during long practice sessions and matches.

JDC opts for low settings on shader detail, model texture detail, and particle detail, with dynamic shadows set to 'All' and anti-aliasing at 8x MSAA. Disabling visual enhancements like ambient occlusion and enabling boost player contrast ensures maximum visibility and consistent high frame rates, helping him maintain focus and react quickly without graphical distractions.

JDC’s monitor settings include a color vibrance of 15 and a black equalizer set to 10. These adjustments enhance the visual distinction between different in-game elements, making enemies easier to spot in dark areas and improving overall map awareness, which is crucial for competitive play.

JDC relies on the Logitech G PRO X 2 Headset Black, a model designed for esports with features like clear directional audio and noise isolation. This headset allows him to accurately discern footsteps, gunfire, and other critical in-game sounds, giving him a significant advantage in situational awareness.

Historically, JDC has used a slightly higher sensitivity of 1.5 and an eDPI of 1200. His recent shift to a sensitivity of 1.25 and eDPI of 1000 suggests a move toward finer control and precision, possibly reflecting a focus on improving accuracy and consistency in aiming as his career has progressed.

JDC uses the '-novid' launch option, which skips the intro video when launching Counter-Strike 2. This small tweak reduces downtime and ensures he can get into the game client quickly, minimizing interruptions and streamlining his preparation for practice or matches.
