CSDB Data Lab
Original research built from datasets we collect ourselves: 1,011 professional players’ published settings, a 2,062-skin price snapshot quoted by 19 marketplaces, daily CS2 game-file extraction and operator-sourced marketplace records. Every study states its sample size, data date, methodology and limitations, and ships the numbers behind its charts as a CSV — see how we work. Cite freely with attribution.

The underlying datasets are browsable too: the pro player database, the skins database, the CS2 update tracker, and the gear database.
Studies
Pro eDPI Distribution
The eDPI, DPI and sensitivity active CS2 professionals actually play on: distribution, median, quartiles and the rifler vs AWPer vs IGL split, computed from publicly published player configs.
Study4:3 vs 16:9 Among Pros
How many active CS2 pros play stretched 4:3, which exact resolutions dominate, and whether riflers and AWPers differ — with sample sizes and methodology.
StudyPro Crosshair Choices
Which crosshair share codes multiple CS2 pros use, the colour, size, gap and thickness distribution, and how many run a centre dot or outline — computed from active pros with a valid code.
StudySkin Liquidity & Price Dispersion
Which CS2 skin categories are liquid, and how far marketplaces disagree on the same item: liquidity scores by category and cross-market spread by price band, from one dated price snapshot.
