BerLIN settings

BerLIN plays with a mouse sensitivity of 0.41 and a DPI setting of 800, resulting in an eDPI of 328. This combination is considered low to medium, which allows for more precise, controlled movements—an advantage for tracking targets and making micro-adjustments during intense firefights. Such settings are favored by many professional players seeking accuracy over rapid, sweeping motions.

BerLIN is currently using the ZOWIE ZOWIE S2-DW Grey (Unreleased) mouse. ZOWIE mice are renowned in the esports community for their reliable sensors, ergonomic shapes, and lack of unnecessary software, making them a top pick for competitive players. The S2-DW model, while unreleased, likely offers advanced features such as lightweight construction and high polling rates, catering to BerLIN's need for responsiveness and comfort during long gaming sessions.

BerLIN utilizes a custom static crosshair, as indicated by his crosshair code '0;P;c;1;h;0;0t;1;0l;1;0o;0;0a;1;0f;0;1b;0'. This setup favors minimalism and high visibility, ensuring that the crosshair does not obstruct vision while still providing a clear point of reference for precise aiming. Such a configuration is ideal for maintaining focus on targets without visual distractions.

BerLIN uses the ZOWIE ZOWIE XL2540K monitor, a high-refresh-rate display favored by professional players. This monitor's 240Hz refresh rate and fast response time provide extremely smooth visuals, reducing motion blur and input lag. The higher refresh rate allows BerLIN to see and react to in-game action more quickly, which is critical in a fast-paced tactical shooter like Valorant.

BerLIN plays at a 1280x1024 resolution with a 4:3 aspect ratio set to 'Fill' mode. This stretched resolution is a common choice among competitive players as it can make enemy models appear wider and easier to spot, potentially offering a slight visual advantage. The 'Fill' aspect ratio method ensures the screen space is maximized, further enhancing visibility.

BerLIN uses the Wooting Wooting 60HE+ keyboard, a top-tier analog mechanical keyboard known for its rapid response times and adjustable actuation points. This keyboard allows for highly customizable key presses, enabling faster reaction speeds and improved movement control—both crucial for high-level Valorant gameplay.

BerLIN maps his primary, secondary, and tertiary abilities to Mouse Button 4, Mouse Button 5, and Q respectively, while his ultimate is bound to X. By assigning frequently used abilities to his mouse buttons, BerLIN ensures quick access without needing to move his fingers away from essential movement and shooting keys, optimizing efficiency and reaction time during clutch scenarios.

BerLIN uses the VAXEE VAXEE PA Little Devil mousepad, which is known for its balanced glide and control. This surface provides enough friction for precise aiming, especially when paired with his relatively low eDPI, allowing him to make fine adjustments without overshooting. The mousepad's consistent texture supports both stability and smoothness, aligning well with his technical preferences.

BerLIN relies on the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro White headset, a wireless model popular for its excellent sound clarity and directional audio capabilities. This headset allows him to pick up on subtle in-game cues such as footsteps and ability sounds, which are vital for situational awareness and making informed decisions during matches.

BerLIN plays Valorant in Fullscreen mode, which is the optimal choice for reducing input lag and maximizing performance. Fullscreen mode allows the game to have exclusive control over the display output, minimizing distractions from background processes and ensuring the smoothest possible gameplay—essential for competitive play where milliseconds matter.
