COLDFISH settings

COLDFISH utilizes a mouse sensitivity of 0.4 paired with an 800 DPI setting, resulting in an effective eDPI of 320. This low sensitivity setup is favored by many professional players as it allows for precise and controlled aiming, which is essential for accurate crosshair placement and tracking during high-stakes matches.

COLDFISH's current mouse of choice is the Razer DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed. This wireless mouse is renowned for its lightweight design and high polling rate, which, combined with its ergonomic shape, allows for quick flicks and sustained comfort during long practice sessions or tournaments, contributing to consistent and reliable in-game performance.

COLDFISH employs a compact, static crosshair with no outlines or center dot, minimal length, and full transparency on the inner lines. This configuration reduces visual clutter and provides a clean aiming reference, enabling better focus on targets and facilitating precise shots, especially in intense duels.

COLDFISH opts for low graphical settings across the board—such as low UI, texture, material, and detail quality, with all visual effects like bloom, vignette, distortion, and cast shadows turned off. He plays at a 1920x1080 resolution in fullscreen mode with no anti-aliasing. This setup prioritizes maximum frame rates and minimal visual distractions, ensuring smooth gameplay and optimal in-game clarity.

COLDFISH uses the ZOWIE XL2566K, a high-refresh-rate esports monitor. He sets it to 'FPS 1' picture mode, with AMA set to High and DyAc on Premium for minimal motion blur. His preferences include a bright and sharp display, with a gamma of 3, contrast at 50, sharpness at 7, brightness at 77, color vibrance at 12, and a bluish color temperature. These settings enhance enemy visibility and ensure fast response times crucial for competitive play.

COLDFISH customizes his keybinds for efficiency and quick access: primary, secondary, and melee weapons are bound to 1, 2, and 3 respectively, while abilities are mapped to C, E, Z, and X for easy reach. He uses F for interacting with objects, CTRL for crouching, SHIFT for walking, and SPACE for jumping, reflecting a layout that supports fast reaction and muscle memory during competitive matches.

COLDFISH configures his minimap with a size of 1.2 and a zoom of 0.938, keeps the map centered on the player, enables vision cones, and ensures region names are always visible. The orientation is set based on the side he's playing, all of which help maintain maximum situational awareness and facilitate quick decision-making during gameplay.

COLDFISH relies on the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro Black headset, known for its clear positional audio and comfort. This headset allows him to accurately discern enemy footsteps, ability cues, and other critical sound information, giving him a competitive edge in terms of awareness and reaction to in-game events.

COLDFISH currently uses the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro Mini Black keyboard and the ZOWIE G-SR-SE Gris mousepad. The compact, responsive keyboard supports fast key presses and efficient movement, while the large, smooth mousepad provides consistent tracking and ample space for low-sensitivity aiming, both essential for high-level Valorant performance.

COLDFISH sets his mouse polling rate to 1000 Hz, ensuring rapid and accurate transmission of movement data to the game. He chooses to keep the raw input buffer off, which means his mouse input is processed without additional buffering—this can reduce input delay and provide a more direct, responsive feel, which is critical for precise aiming in a fast-paced shooter like Valorant.
