GuardiaN CS2 Settings: Full Config, Crosshair & Peripherals

Ladislav "GuardiaN" Kovács is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential players in Counter-Strike history, making a name for himself in CS 1.6, CS: Source, and Global Offensive. Below is a detailed overview of his Counter-Strike 2 video settings, crosshair preferences, mouse setup, and peripherals as of the current day.

Mouse Settings

Mouse configuration is vital for precision, especially for AWPers like GuardiaN. His mouse settings for CS2 are:

  • Mouse: Logitech G Pro X Superlight (Black)
  • DPI: 400
  • In-game Sensitivity: 1.50
  • eDPI: 600
  • Hz (Polling Rate): 1000
  • Zoom Sensitivity: 1.20
  • Windows Sensitivity: 6

This setup provides exceptional control over fine movements, essential for executing pinpoint AWP shots. The Logitech G Pro X Superlight’s lightweight design further helps reduce fatigue during long gaming sessions. His choice of mouse is a global standard in esports as the G Pro X Superlight is often used by many professionals and casual players alike.

Crosshair Settings

GuardiaN uses a crosshair suited to his sniping style, offering visibility and simplicity without unnecessary distractions. This minimalistic design helps him stay accurate and focused, with no distracting elements interfering during critical shots.

  • Style: Classic Static
  • Crosshair Color: Green (RGB: 0, 255, 0)
  • Outline: Disabled
  • Dot: No
  • Length: 1
  • Thickness: 0.00
  • Gap: -3

Video Settings

GuardiaN continues to favor performance over visual fidelity, focusing on minimizing latency and achieving the smoothest gameplay possible. His video settings include:

  • Resolution: 800×600 (4:3)
  • Scaling Mode: Black Bars
  • Brightness: 130%
  • Display Mode: Fullscreen
  • Boost Player Contrast: Disabled

These settings prioritize performance by using lower resolutions and basic textures to reduce distractions and increase frame rates, which is essential for competitive play. GuardiaN’s choice to play with Black Bars and at a resolution well under the default stretches out the image a little and sacrifices a lot of visual appeal for much better frame rate performance.

Peripherals and Hardware

GuardiaN’s peripherals are handpicked to complement his gameplay, providing consistency and reliability:

  • Monitor: ZOWIE XL2546K Divina (240 Hz)
  • Keyboard: HyperX Alloy Origins
  • Headset: Logitech G Pro X Wireless
  • Mousepad: Razer Gigantus V2

The ZOWIE XL2546K with a 240 Hz refresh rate ensures smooth visuals, essential for high-level play. The HyperX Alloy Origins keyboard is known for its durability and quick response, while the Razer Gigantus V2 mouse pad provides a large surface for precise tracking. His wireless headset offers freedom of movement without compromising sound quality, crucial for hearing enemy footsteps and other in-game cues.
