SLOWLY settings

SLOWLY uses a Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro White mouse configured at 400 DPI with a sensitivity of 1.5, resulting in an effective eDPI of 600. This combination is favored by many professional players because it allows for precise, controlled movements that are well-suited for accurate aiming and consistent tracking during high-stakes gameplay.

SLOWLY utilizes a Classic Static crosshair style with a very small gap of -4, minimal length and thickness, and no center dot. The crosshair is set to a custom pure white color with full opacity, outlined for visibility but with an outline thickness of 0. This minimalist and bright setup ensures the crosshair remains highly visible on all backgrounds without being distracting, supporting fast target acquisition and precision.

SLOWLY plays at a 1280x960 resolution using a 4:3 aspect ratio in fullscreen mode with stretched scaling. Most video settings, such as shader detail, model texture detail, and global shadow quality, are set to low, and boost player contrast is enabled. This configuration maximizes frame rates and reduces visual clutter, allowing for smoother gameplay and easier spotting of opponents.

SLOWLY relies on the ZOWIE XL2546K, a high-refresh-rate monitor popular among esports professionals. The display settings include DyAc off, color vibrance set to 17 for enhanced color distinction, low blue light at 0 to maintain color accuracy, and a black equalizer value of 3 to brighten dark areas without overexposing the rest of the screen. These adjustments help ensure clear and consistent visibility, especially in crucial in-game situations.

SLOWLY’s current keyboard is the Cherry Xtrfy K5 Pro TMR, paired with a SteelSeries QcK Heavy mousepad. The K5 Pro TMR is known for its responsive mechanical switches, which are preferred for precise and rapid inputs, while the QcK Heavy provides a large, consistent surface that supports smooth and accurate mouse movements—both essential for high-level FPS competition.

SLOWLY’s viewmodel is customized with a field of view (FOV) of 68 and offsets of 2.5 on the x-axis, 0 on the y-axis, and -1.5 on the z-axis, using preset position 2. This configuration moves the weapon model slightly out of the way, maximizing the visible play area and reducing distractions, which can be advantageous for spotting opponents and maintaining situational awareness.

SLOWLY’s latest headset is the ASUS ROG Delta II, a high-fidelity gaming headset designed for immersive and accurate sound reproduction. While specific in-game audio settings are not detailed, using such a headset allows SLOWLY to clearly distinguish subtle audio cues like footsteps and reloads, which are critical for gaining information and reacting quickly during matches.

SLOWLY’s current setup features an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics card paired with an Intel Core i9-12900K processor. This high-end combination ensures consistently high frame rates and minimal input lag, enabling smooth gameplay at competitive settings and providing the computational power needed for quick reaction times and multitasking during streaming or recording.

Historically, SLOWLY has used various peripherals, including the ZOWIE EC3-C mouse and keyboards like the Wooting 60HE+ and Xtrfy K5 Compact RGB. This progression reflects a willingness to experiment with different hardware to find the optimal balance of comfort, speed, and reliability that suits his playing style and preferences, a common trait among top competitors seeking marginal gains.

SLOWLY opts for no multisampling anti-aliasing and uses bilinear texture filtering mode. By disabling anti-aliasing and choosing a basic filtering option, he reduces input lag and maximizes frame rates, ensuring that visuals remain crisp and responsive. This trade-off is typical for players prioritizing performance and clarity over visual effects.
