Starry settings

Starry is currently using a Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Magenta mouse set to 400 DPI with a sensitivity of 1.45. This combination results in an eDPI of 580, which is considered relatively low and is favored by players who prioritize precise crosshair control and consistent aim tracking. Additionally, Starry's mouse operates at a polling rate of 2000 Hz, ensuring rapid and accurate input registration for fast-paced gameplay.

Throughout his career, Starry has experimented with various sensitivity settings, as indicated by historical values of 1.5, 1.77, and 1.5 before settling on his current sensitivity of 1.45. Similarly, his eDPI has ranged from 600 to 708 before returning to 600 and then dropping to 580. This evolution suggests a conscious effort to refine his aim and adapt to changing gameplay needs, ultimately settling on a lower sensitivity for greater precision.

Starry utilizes a Classic Static crosshair with a very compact shape—featuring a minimal length and no center dot—and a custom color configuration (a bright greenish hue with RGB values 0,255,180). The crosshair has a small negative gap and no outline, making it both unobtrusive and easy to track against varying backgrounds. This setup is ideal for maintaining clear vision during firefights and allows for precise, distraction-free aiming.

Starry's primary monitor is the ZOWIE XL2566X+, a model renowned for its ultra-high refresh rate and esports-focused features. He operates the monitor at a frequency of 360 Hz, as specified in his launch options, which provides extremely smooth motion clarity and reduces input lag. These display settings are crucial for competitive play, where every millisecond counts.

Starry prioritizes performance and visibility by using a 1280x960 resolution in a 4:3 aspect ratio with stretched scaling, all in fullscreen mode. He disables V-Sync and NVIDIA G-Sync, sets shader and particle details to low, and turns off ambient occlusion to maximize frame rates. Critical settings like boost player contrast are enabled for clearer enemy visibility, while anti-aliasing is set to 8x MSAA for a balance between smooth edges and performance.

To enhance visual clarity, Starry sets his monitor's color vibrance to 11 and uses a black equalizer value of 7. These adjustments increase the distinction between different in-game elements and make enemies stand out more, especially in shadowy areas. He also keeps the low blue light setting at 0 to avoid altering color accuracy, ensuring that his visual perception remains sharp during long gaming sessions.

Starry relies on the HyperX Cloud III Wireless headset, a model known for its comfortable fit and high-fidelity sound. While specific in-game audio settings are not detailed, using such a headset ensures that he can accurately pinpoint enemy footsteps and other crucial audio cues, which are essential for high-level play in Counter-Strike 2.

Starry's current keyboard is the SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL Gen 3 White, recognized for its fast actuation and customizable switches, which provide rapid response times for precise movement and weapon control. His preferred mousepad is the VAXEE PA A Stillness of Snow, which offers a consistent glide and stable tracking surface, supporting his low-sensitivity aiming style. These choices reflect a focus on reliability and performance.

Starry opts for a pink HUD color and uses a HUD scale of 1 for clear visibility of all interface elements. His radar settings include a HUD size of 1.1, a map zoom of 0.4, and options to keep the radar rotating and centered on the player. He also enables toggling the radar shape with the scoreboard. These settings are designed to provide comprehensive situational awareness without cluttering the screen.

Starry launches Counter-Strike 2 with the '-freq 360 -worldwide' options, ensuring his monitor runs at its maximum 360 Hz refresh rate for the smoothest possible gameplay. His system is equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 graphics card, which delivers high frame rates and graphical fidelity, even at demanding settings. This hardware setup guarantees that Starry experiences minimal input lag and optimal performance during competitive matches.
