n1cks settings

n1cks uses a sensitivity of 1 combined with an 800 DPI setting on his mouse, resulting in an effective DPI (eDPI) of 800. This setup is favored by many professional players as it offers a balanced approach between precision and swift movement, allowing for accurate aiming while maintaining the ability to quickly react to in-game situations.

n1cks currently uses the Razer Viper V3 Pro Black as his mouse. This model is renowned for its lightweight design, high polling rate of 1000Hz, and precision sensor, which together provide minimal input lag and high accuracy—crucial attributes for consistent performance in competitive matches.

n1cks utilizes a compact, minimalistic crosshair with a small gap of -2.3, a short length of 1, and a thin thickness of 0.5, without a center dot. The crosshair is colored bright yellow (RGB 255, 255, 0), enhancing visibility against most backgrounds. This configuration ensures clarity and precision, minimizing distractions while aiming.

n1cks plays on the Alienware AW2725DF monitor, a display known for its high refresh rate and fast response time. Such features are vital in esports as they deliver smooth visuals and reduce motion blur, enabling players to react more quickly and track targets more effectively during intense gameplay.

n1cks opts for a 1280x960 resolution with a 4:3 aspect ratio set to stretched mode and plays in fullscreen. He disables V-Sync and G-Sync, keeps shader and particle details low, and enables high global shadow quality. These choices reduce input lag and maximize frame rates, ensuring a responsive and fluid gaming experience.

n1cks relies on the SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL Gen 3 Black keyboard, a tenkeyless mechanical keyboard known for its customizable actuation points and rapid response. This allows for precise and fast input registration, which is essential for executing complex maneuvers and quick keybinds during matches.

n1cks 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. This configuration moves the weapon model slightly to the side and back, increasing peripheral visibility and reducing distractions, which helps maintain focus on opponents and the environment.

n1cks uses the Logitech G PRO X 2 Headset Magenta, a professional-grade headset known for its clear positional audio and comfort. High-quality audio is crucial in CS2, as it allows players to accurately locate opponents through footsteps and other in-game sounds, giving them a tactical edge.

n1cks configures his radar with a HUD size of 1 and a map zoom of 0.3, keeps the radar rotating, and chooses not to center the player. This setup provides a broad overview of the map and teammate locations, helping him maintain situational awareness and make informed decisions quickly during gameplay.

n1cks uses the Artisan Ninja FX Zero Soft Orange mousepad, known for its smooth yet controlled glide. This mousepad offers consistent tracking and reliable stopping power, enabling precise mouse movements and stable aiming, which are essential for high-level competitive play.
