Most-Used Pro Crosshair Codes, Colours and Settings
Which exact crosshair share codes multiple professionals use, and the colour, size, gap, thickness, dot and outline choices across the active pro field — computed from publicly published player configs. Browse every code in the crosshair code library or build your own in the crosshair generator.
Data as of: Published: 2026-09-11
n = 817 active pros with a valid crosshair share code (of 1,011 tracked). 136 retired or inactive players and 50 coaches excluded; 8 active players without a valid share code.

Key findings
- 749 distinct share codes across 817 active pros: 13% (110 players) use a code that at least one other pro also uses; the most-shared code is on 8 players.
- Colour is a three-way split: Custom 37%, Green 32%, Cyan 25%. Everything else is 6%.
- The modal crosshair is size 1, gap -4, thickness 1 (53%, 41% and 52% of players respectively). 98% run a negative gap.
- Centre dots and outlines are minority choices: 8% use a dot and 13% an outline.
- Style is near-uniform in the source (Classic Static: 99%), so “which style do pros use” is not a question this dataset can separate — see limitations.

Colour
“Custom” is an RGB value the source does not map to a named colour. Numeric colour ids and unknown values are excluded.

| 1 | 428 | 52% |
| 0 | 205 | 25% |
| 0.5 | 53 | 6% |
| 0.9 | 29 | 4% |

Methodology
- Cohort: players whose source status is not Retired or Inactive, excluding coaches — 825 of 1,011 tracked.
- Only players with a valid-format share code (
CSGO-plus five groups of five characters) are counted: n = 817. A player listed twice under one code is counted once. - “Shared” means the identical code string on two or more players. Visually identical crosshairs with different codes are not merged.
- Colour, size, gap and thickness are the source’s parsed values, not decoded from the share code. Numeric colour ids and “Unknown” are excluded from colour shares.
- Shares are of n (or of the colour sub-sample where stated), rounded to whole percent.
Sources: Publicly published player configs, Liquipedia (CC BY-SA, career metadata). Computation: src/lib/research/pro-crosshairs.ts. General rules: Data Lab methodology.
Limitations
- The style field is near-uniform in the source and cannot distinguish static from dynamic behaviour reliably; this study reports it but draws no conclusion from it.
- A shared code often reflects teammates or a coach’s recommendation, not independent choice — it is evidence of popularity, not of superiority.
- Published configs lag changes made at events; per-player pages carry the date the source last revised each profile.
- “Active” means listed on a live roster; there is no tier field, so no by-tier breakdown.
