Staehr settings

Staehr plays with a mouse sensitivity of 1 and a DPI of 800, resulting in an effective eDPI of 800. This combination is popular among professional players as it provides a balance between precise crosshair control for aiming and the ability to make swift movements when needed, especially on lower resolution and stretched aspect ratios.

Staehr’s crosshair is set to the Classic Static style with a minimalistic approach: a very small gap of -3.9, a short length of 1.1, and a thin thickness of 0.9, without a center dot. The crosshair uses a custom bright green-blue color (RGB 0,255,145) and is static, ensuring it doesn’t distract or obstruct vision during gameplay. This configuration allows for clear, unobtrusive aiming and quick target acquisition.

Staehr uses the ZOWIE XL2566X+ monitor, known for its high refresh rate and esports-focused features. His settings include a color vibrance of 13, black equalizer at 13, and low blue light at 0. These adjustments enhance enemy visibility, improve color differentiation, and reduce eye strain during extended sessions, giving him a visual edge in competitive matches.

Staehr opts for a 1280x960 resolution with a 4:3 aspect ratio and stretched scaling in fullscreen windowed mode. Most graphics settings are tuned for performance, such as low shader and particle detail, disabled ambient occlusion, and bilinear texture filtering. However, he enables high model texture detail and global shadow quality, and boosts player contrast for better enemy visibility, striking a balance between clarity and high frame rates.

Staehr uses a 1.05 radar HUD size and a zoom level of 0.45, with the radar set to rotate and always center on the player. The HUD color is set to light blue and scaled to 0.9. These settings are designed to maximize information without cluttering the screen, ensuring he can quickly gather positional data and react to enemy movements.

Staehr’s current setup features the Wooting 80HE Black keyboard and the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Black mouse. The Wooting keyboard is valued for its analog input capability, allowing for fine movement control, while the Superlight 2 mouse is renowned for its lightweight design and reliability, both of which are highly favored in the professional CS2 scene.

Staehr’s viewmodel is customized with a field of view of 68, offset x at 2.5, offset y at 0, and offset z at -1.5, using preset position 2. He disables viewmodel bob to keep the weapon steady. These settings minimize distractions and keep the weapon model out of the center of the screen, providing a clearer view of enemies and the environment during engagements.

Staehr launches CS2 with the options '-console -novid +exec autoexec.cfg'. This configuration enables the developer console for command input, skips the intro video for faster startup, and automatically executes his personalized configuration file, ensuring all his preferred settings are applied every time he starts the game.

Staehr sets his digital vibrance to 70% on his graphics card, which, combined with his monitor’s increased color vibrance, makes colors more vivid and helps important visual cues like enemy models and utility effects stand out against the environment. This is a common technique among professionals to improve target visibility and reaction times.

Staehr uses the Logitech G PRO X 2 Headset Black, a high-quality headset known for its accurate positional audio and comfort. While specific in-game audio settings are not detailed, using such a headset ensures that he can clearly hear footsteps and other critical sound cues, which are essential for gaining information and outplaying opponents in high-stakes matches.
