CS2 Pro Players Settings Guide

Trying to find the best gaming mouse settings for Counter-Strike can be tough! You may well have wondered which gaming mouse or monitor pros like KennyS, Forest, or Pasha use… or the sensitivity settings Scream or Get_Right prefer to shoot so accurately all the time? Fear not. Here, we have put together a table of all the configurations, sensitivities, settings, crosshairs, mice, keyboards, and other hardware used by players from some of the biggest CS teams in the world.

Starting by looking at the configurations and hardware used by the pros is a great way to find the perfect CS setup for you. However, it’s important that you customize the different settings so that they suit your own comfort and playing style. What’s more, different roles in the game often work better with different types of setups – so, for example,  an AWPer night find it easier to use low sensitivity, while lurkers might prefer the higher sensitivity options.

What’s more, interestingly enough, not all pros use flawless mouse sensors.

When choosing a mouse, you need to make sure it fits your hand well. Try out different grips to find what works best for you. While a 144Hz monitor does come with noticeable advantages, new players can still perform well with a 60Hz monitor. Also, you should also consider the mouse pads the pros use, as they often prefer larger ones for better control.

If you’re unsure where to start, you might want to choose to start with a sensitivity of 2 and 400 DPI, then fine-tune from there until you find the perfect settings.

That being said, here are the settings used by the top teams and players:

CS2 Crosshair:

cl_crosshairsize 1; cl_crosshairstyle 4; cl_crosshairgap -3; cl_crosshairdot 0; cl_crosshairthickness 0; cl_crosshair_drawoutline 0; cl_crosshair_outlinethickness 0.5; cl_crosshaircolor 1; cl_crosshaircolor_r 255; cl_crosshaircolor_g 255; cl_crosshaircolor_b 255; cl_crosshair_sniper_width 1;

Spot the Difference

Whilst there are several differences between the three, the main one you’ll notice is the mouse sensitivity settings. Where ZywOo seems to prefer high graphics, s1mple and device seem to prefer minimal video settings to help their performance.
