    S1imple Mouse Settings
    Though he has an arsenal of mice at home that he could switch to any time, TenZ is currently using the Ninjutso Sora v2 mouse, a very uncommon choice. Here are his mouse settings:
    • DPI
      400
    • Sensitivity
      3.09
    • Effective DPI (eDPI)
      1236
    • Zoom Sensitivity
      1
    • Hz
      1000
    • Windows Sensitivity 
      6
    A mouse DPI of 400 is relatively common, but s1mple uses his trademarked 3.09 mouse sensitivity, which is a very precise number; he didn’t even want to round it up to 3.10. These settings net his effective DPI at 1236, which is on the higher side in the professional scene.

    It is very noticeable that most AWPers tend to have a higher mouse sensitivity, as they need it to hit those fast flicks. If you’re a rifler, it is recommended to use a lower effective DPI than s1mple uses.

    S1mple Crosshair Settings
    A “good” crosshair varies from player to player, but it’s always nice to have a reference. Make sure to take a peek at s1mple’s crosshair to try it out:
    • Style
      Legacy
    • Follow Recoil
      No
    • Dot
      No
    • Length
      0.5
    • Thickness
      1
    • Gap
      -4
    • Outline
      No
    • Color
      Green
    • Sniper Width
      0
    S1mple changes his crosshair quite frequently, and has gone for something new in preparation for his return in Counter-Strike: 2. He is using a standard green crosshair, but has decided to rock a crosshair dot, which is incredibly uncommon.

    His current crosshair is super funky, and might not be the best to copy if you’re looking for immediate results.

    S1imple Viewmodel Settings
    Next, we’ll go over s1mple’s viewmodel settings. Being able to see your screen properly is crucial to becoming a good player, so mirroring these viewmodel settings is highly recommended:

    • Offset X
      2.5
    • Offset Y
      0
    • Offset Z
      1-5

    s1mple Video Settings
    If you want your Counter-Strike client to look exactly like s1mple’s, then copying all of his video settings is what you need to do.

    • Aspect Ratio
      4:3
    • Scaling Mode
      Stretched
    • Brightness

    • Display Mode
      Fullscreen
    The 26-year-old is using an aspect ratio of 4:3 and the typical resolution of 1280×960. This pair of settings means he utilizes a stretched scaling mode so the player models are wider, making it easier to land shots.
