Joshua "steel" Nissan is a Canadian rifler who has since retired from competitive play. He plays at 1280x800 with an eDPI of 1040 on a Razer Viper V3 Pro Black.

steel's eDPI of 1040 (800 DPI × 1.3 sensitivity) sits at the 85th percentile of the 1007 pros we track, among the fastest in pro play — a wrist-led style that trades stability for reaction speed. The pro median is 800 eDPI, so before copying these numbers wholesale, translate the feel to your own setup with the eDPI calculator rather than matching DPI and sensitivity digit-for-digit.

steel plays at 1280x800 (16:10), a resolution 1% of tracked pros use. Native-style setups prioritise the widest possible field of view and the cleanest image over the enlarged models of stretched 4:3.

The crosshair (size 1) is exactly the pro median size, in green. Copy it one-click with the share code above, or load it into the crosshair generator to resize it for your own resolution — a crosshair tuned for 1280x800 can feel different at another.

On gear, the Razer Viper V3 Pro Black is a proven pro choice — 48 other players in our database use the same mouse, and the ZOWIE XL2546K monitor pairing is a staple of tier-one setups. Full peripherals, with every pro using each item, are listed below.

Compare these settings with the rest of the CS2 pro player database, convert the sensitivity to your own DPI with the sensitivity converter, copy the crosshair from the pro crosshair codes list, or look up the hardware in the gear database.
