XigN settings

XigN currently uses a SteelSeries Rival 110 mouse set at 400 DPI with an in-game sensitivity of 2.2, resulting in an effective DPI (eDPI) of 880. This combination allows for precise control over crosshair movement, favoring accuracy and consistency, which is essential for high-level play in Counter-Strike 2. The 1000Hz polling rate further ensures fast and accurate input response.

XigN utilizes a white crosshair with a static style (style 4), featuring a gap of -2, length 3, and thickness 1, with no center dot or outline. This compact and minimalistic setup provides excellent visibility against various backgrounds and helps maintain focus on precise aiming, a common preference among professional players seeking clarity and unobstructed target acquisition.

XigN plays on a ZOWIE XL2546 monitor, renowned for its 240Hz refresh rate and fast response times. This high-end esports monitor offers smooth visuals and minimal input lag, giving XigN a significant advantage in reaction time and motion clarity, both of which are critical for tracking opponents and executing rapid movements in Counter-Strike 2.

XigN opts for a 1280x960 resolution with a 4:3 aspect ratio, using the stretched scaling mode. This classic pro player configuration makes player models appear wider and more pronounced, potentially making it easier to spot enemies quickly. The lower resolution also reduces system load, ensuring consistently high frame rates during intense matches.

XigN currently uses the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro keyboard along with a SteelSeries QcK Heavy mousepad. The Huntsman V3 Pro delivers fast, responsive keystrokes thanks to its optical switches, while the QcK Heavy provides a large, stable surface with consistent glide, both of which are critical for reliable movement and precision in high-stakes gameplay.

XigN utilizes the HyperX Cloud Revolver S headset and occasionally the Razer Moray Black earphones. The Cloud Revolver S is known for its surround sound capabilities and clear audio reproduction, which are crucial for detecting subtle in-game audio cues like footsteps and reloads, thereby enhancing XigN’s situational awareness in competitive matches.

While many of XigN’s specific video settings are unspecified, he plays in fullscreen mode with a stretched 4:3 aspect ratio at 1280x960 resolution. This choice prioritizes maximum frame rates and low input latency, while the stretched mode helps enlarge enemy models, aiding in faster target recognition during fast-paced encounters.

XigN’s crosshair setup is strictly static, with no dynamic movement or recoil-following features enabled. He does not use a T-style crosshair or deploy weapon gap adjustments, and the crosshair remains unchanged regardless of weapon or firing. This static configuration emphasizes muscle memory and consistency, allowing XigN to maintain precise aim without distractions from crosshair animations.

XigN sets his mouse to a 1000Hz polling rate, ensuring rapid communication between the mouse and the game, while his Windows sensitivity is kept at the default value of 6. This combination provides a stable and predictable mouse movement environment, reducing the risk of input inconsistencies that could affect his performance in high-pressure scenarios.

XigN’s system is equipped with an Intel Core i7-9700K processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super graphics card. This powerful combination ensures that he can maintain high frame rates and smooth gameplay, even under demanding graphical conditions, providing the reliability and performance needed for top-tier competitive play.
