lux settings

lux currently uses a mouse sensitivity of 1.92 combined with a DPI of 400, resulting in an effective DPI (eDPI) of 768. This relatively low sensitivity setup is favored by many professional players as it provides superior control and precision, especially during micro-adjustments and long-range engagements, helping to minimize over-flicking and allowing for more consistent crosshair placement.

lux utilizes a Classic Static crosshair style with a small gap of -3, length of 2, and thickness of 1, all without a center dot. The crosshair is colored green with RGB values set for clarity and visibility. This compact and minimalistic design ensures that the crosshair remains unobtrusive, allowing lux to maintain maximum visibility of opponents while still offering a clear point of reference for precise aiming.

lux relies on the ZOWIE XL2566K monitor, a popular choice among esports professionals for its high refresh rate and low input lag. He has the monitor's DyAc feature turned off, color vibrance set to 13, black equalizer at 12, and low blue light at 0. These settings optimize contrast and enemy visibility while maintaining accurate color representation, which is crucial for spotting opponents quickly in high-stakes matches.

lux plays at a 1280x960 resolution with a 4:3 aspect ratio, set to fullscreen and stretched scaling mode. Most graphical settings, such as shader detail and particle detail, are set to low to maximize frame rates and reduce visual clutter, while ambient occlusion is at medium and model texture detail at medium. Multisampling anti-aliasing is set to 4x MSAA for a balance between clarity and performance. These choices ensure smooth gameplay and high responsiveness during competitive matches.

lux’s current viewmodel settings include a field of view (FOV) of 68, with offset_x at 1, offset_y at -1, offset_z at -1, and preset position 3. This configuration minimizes weapon model obstruction and keeps the hands and gun models out of the central focus area, allowing for clearer vision of the crosshair and the play area, which is crucial for accurate tracking and target acquisition.

lux launches Counter-Strike 2 with options such as '-freq 240 -novid -tickrate 128 -nojoy +cl_interp_ratio 1 +rate 999999 +clientport 20075 -allow_third_party_software'. These commands set the monitor refresh rate to 240Hz, disable startup videos, ensure high server tickrate, remove joystick support, optimize network settings, and allow third-party software (like performance overlays), all of which contribute to faster game loading, smoother gameplay, and lower input latency.

lux's most recent choice is the Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro Black, a mouse renowned for its ergonomic design, lightweight build, and advanced sensor technology. This device supports high polling rates (up to 4000Hz, matching his settings), ensuring ultra-fast response times and precise tracking, which are essential for maintaining accuracy during rapid movements and intense firefights.

lux enables NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency with the 'Enabled + Boost' setting, which helps to minimize system latency and provides a more responsive feel, especially in fast-paced situations. He keeps NVIDIA G-Sync disabled, likely to avoid potential input lag that can sometimes be introduced by variable refresh rate technologies, prioritizing the lowest possible latency for competitive play.

For his keyboard, lux uses the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL 8KHz Green, known for its high polling rate and responsive optical switches, ensuring rapid and accurate key registration. His current mousepad is the ZOWIE G-SR-SE ROUGE II, a surface prized for its consistent glide and control, providing the reliable tracking necessary for precise mouse movements during competitive matches.

lux's mouse sensitivity and eDPI have shifted throughout his career, with previous settings including sensitivities of 1.1 and 0.99 and eDPIs of 880 and 792. This evolution suggests a period of experimentation to find the ideal balance between speed and precision, ultimately settling on his current setup, which offers controlled aiming without sacrificing the ability to react quickly in high-pressure scenarios.
