Nertz settings

Nertz currently plays with a mouse sensitivity of 0.95 and a DPI of 800, resulting in an effective eDPI of 760. This low sensitivity setup is favored by many professional players as it allows for precise crosshair control and accurate tracking, especially during high-pressure situations where pixel-perfect aim is crucial.

Nertz uses a classic static crosshair with a minimal gap of -4, a short length of 1, and a thin thickness of 1, without a center dot. The crosshair is colored bright yellow (RGB 0,255,255) with partial transparency. This configuration offers excellent visibility against most map backgrounds while maintaining minimal visual distraction, supporting fast and precise aiming.

Nertz currently uses the ZOWIE XL2566K monitor, renowned for its high refresh rates and esports-focused features. His settings include a 'Premium' DyAc (Dynamic Accuracy) for clearer visuals during rapid movement, a color vibrance of 12 to enhance enemy visibility, and a black equalizer set to 3, which brightens darker areas of the map without overexposing brighter regions. These tweaks help him spot opponents quickly and react faster.

Nertz’s most recent mouse choice is the ZOWIE EC2-DW Black, paired with the ZOWIE G-SR III mousepad. This combination is popular among pro players due to the EC2-DW's ergonomic shape and precise sensor, complemented by the G-SR III's consistent glide and control, which together provide a stable and comfortable aiming platform for extended gaming sessions.

Nertz plays at a 1280x960 resolution with a 4:3 aspect ratio stretched across a fullscreen display. He disables V-Sync and G-Sync to minimize input lag, sets most details like shader and particle effects to low, and enables high-quality settings only for essential aspects like global shadow quality and anisotropic filtering. This balance ensures high frame rates for smooth gameplay while maintaining critical visual clarity.

While specific in-game audio values aren't listed, Nertz uses high-end headsets such as the Logitech G Pro X Headset, ensuring clear positional audio. Pro-grade headsets like these are chosen for their accurate soundstage and noise isolation, which help distinguish footsteps and other crucial sound cues, giving Nertz an edge in reacting to opponents' movements.

Nertz’s current keyboard is the Wooting 80HE Frost, a device known for its analog input and rapid response times. While exact keybinds aren't detailed, using such a keyboard allows for customizable actuation points and potentially analog movement, which can provide subtle control advantages in movement and utility usage.

Nertz configures his HUD with a scale of 0.95 and uses team colors for quick identification. His radar is set to a size of approximately 1.06 and a map zoom of 0.9, with both rotation and player centering enabled. These settings ensure that vital information is always accessible and clear, helping him stay aware of teammates’ positions and enemy locations at a glance.

Nertz uses a viewmodel field of view set to 68, with the weapon offset slightly to the right (X: 2.5), neutral on the Y-axis, and slightly down on the Z-axis. This compact viewmodel minimizes weapon obstruction, allowing for better peripheral vision and faster target acquisition, which is essential for high-level play.

Historically, Nertz has experimented with a range of sensitivities from 0.45 to 2.5 and DPIs from 400 to 1600, reflecting a search for the optimal balance between speed and accuracy. His current setup of 0.95 sensitivity at 800 DPI suggests a refined preference for lower sensitivity, likely influenced by the need for steadier aim and finer control during critical moments.
