Sonic settings

Sonic's current mouse configuration combines a 400 DPI setting with an in-game sensitivity of 2.50, resulting in an effective eDPI of 1000. This setup strikes a balance between precise crosshair control and quick flick shots, catering to both accuracy and rapid reaction—an approach favored by many professional players for its versatility in both close and long-range engagements.

Sonic utilizes a Classic Static crosshair with a minimal gap of -1, short length of 2, and zero thickness, opting out of a center dot and outline. Rendered in a high-visibility green with maximum alpha for clarity, this compact and simple design reduces visual distractions and ensures the crosshair remains visible against various backgrounds, aiding in consistent aim and target tracking during fast-paced gameplay.

Sonic's primary monitor is the ZOWIE XL2566X+, a high-refresh-rate display tailored for esports. This monitor is renowned for its fast response times and smooth motion handling, which are crucial for competitive FPS titles like Counter-Strike 2. The clear visuals and consistent frame delivery help Sonic maintain peak reaction speed and precise tracking, giving him a technical edge in high-stakes matches.

Sonic currently uses the Lamzu Maya X Purple Shadow mouse, a lightweight and responsive device designed for gaming precision. Its high polling rate of 1000 Hz ensures minimal input lag, while its ergonomic shape and reliable sensor provide consistent accuracy—qualities essential for executing complex maneuvers and maintaining stable aim during prolonged competitive sessions.

Sonic plays at a resolution of 1280x960 with a 4:3 aspect ratio using a stretched scaling mode. This configuration is widely adopted by professional players because it makes enemy models appear wider, facilitating easier target acquisition and improving reaction times. The stretched resolution also reduces the field of view slightly, allowing Sonic to focus more sharply on central action.

To enhance in-game visibility, Sonic sets his monitor's color vibrance to 15 and black equalizer to 10, while keeping low blue light at 0. Increasing color vibrance and black equalizer accentuates enemy outlines and makes dark areas more visible, which is a common strategy among pros to spot opponents quickly and gain a tactical advantage in shadowy or dimly lit map areas.

Sonic uses the Wooting 80HE Black keyboard and the SteelSeries QcK+ mousepad. The Wooting 80HE is known for its analog input capabilities, providing refined movement control, while the QcK+ mousepad offers a consistent, low-friction surface that ensures smooth and predictable mouse movements—an essential combination for executing precise aim and rapid directional changes during intense gameplay.

Sonic's viewmodel is configured with a field of view of 68 and custom offsets (x: 2.5, y: 0, z: -1.5), using preset position 2 and disabling weapon bob. This setup positions the weapon lower and slightly to the right, minimizing visual obstruction and maximizing screen space for spotting enemies, which is crucial for quick target recognition and situational awareness.

Sonic relies on the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro headset, a high-fidelity device designed for esports. While specific in-game audio settings are not detailed, using this headset ensures he benefits from accurate positional audio cues, clear communication, and immersive soundscapes, all of which are vital for detecting footsteps, gunfire, and other critical game sounds in a competitive environment.

Sonic's mouse history includes the Lamzu Maya X Purple Shadow, Fnatic x Lamzu Thorn, and Lamzu Thorn Black, showing a consistent preference for lightweight, high-performance mice with advanced sensors and ergonomic designs. This evolution suggests a focus on devices that offer reliable tracking, swift movement, and comfort, reflecting his commitment to maintaining peak mechanical precision and adaptability as hardware technology advances.
