Calyx Mouse Settings

Becoming one of the best riflers in your country is no easy task, no matter where you’re from. Here are the mouse settings Calyx uses to reach such heights.

Mouse Settings Value
DPI 800
Sensitivity 2
Effective DPI (eDPI) 1600
Zoom Sensitivity 1.00
Hz 1000
Windows Sensitivity  6

 

Taking a page out of his teammate woxic’s book, Calyx has chosen a very high effective DPI value that is made up of a mouse DPI of 800 and an in-game sensitivity of 2, totaling his eDPI to 1600. Simply put, these are insane numbers in professional player terms, but it seems to be working out just fine for him.

Calyx Crosshair Settings

Mouse settings aren’t the only important set of settings to aim properly, as a good crosshair is also required to hit those crisp headshots. Here are the crosshair settings Calyx is using.

Crosshair Setting Value
Style Classic Static
Follow Recoil No
Dot No
Length 1
Thickness 1
Gap -4
Outline No
Color Cyan
Sniper Width 0

Calyx is using a very small crosshair with a crosshair length of 1 and a thickness value of 1, as well. Additionally, he is using a minimal gap of -4, making his crosshair as compact as possible. He has also chosen cyan as his crosshair color of choice.

Calyx Viewmodel Settings

Calyx’s settings so far haven’t been too normal or standard, and it continues with his viewmodel. Let’s see what unique viewmodel settings Calyx is using.

Viewmodel Setting Value
FOV 60
Offset X 1
Offset Y 1
Offset Z -1
Presetpos 1

Unlike most professional players, Calyx is using a very low FOV value of 60, while most prefer 68. Additionally, his viewmodel offset settings are also very unique, as he has gone for 1, 1, and -1, which is very rare to see.

Calyx Video Settings

Next, we’re going to take a look at Calyx’s video settings.

Calyx Resolution and Aspect Ratio

The first set of video settings will include Calyx’s resolution and aspect ratio, which are two of the most important video settings to check out.

Video Setting Value
Resolution 1280×960
Aspect Ratio 4:3
Scaling Mode Stretched
Brightness 100%
Display Mode Fullscreen

Finally, we see some regular and standard settings at Calyx’s arsenal. He is using the commonly-used 1280×960 resolution, which is paired up with the 4:3 aspect ratio. This means he is playing on a stretched scaling mode. The remaining settings remain untouched.

Calyx Advanced Video Settings

If you were going to copy Calyx’s resolution and aspect ratio, you might as well go all the way and copy his advanced video settings, too.

Video Setting Value
Boost Player Contrast Disabled
V-Sync Disabled
NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency Disabled
NVIDIA G-Sync Disabled
Maximum FPS In Game 700
Multisampling Anti-Aliasing Mode 8x MSAA
Global Shadow Quality High
Dynamic Shadows All
Model / Texture Detail Low
Texture Filtering Mode Bilinear
Shader Detail Low
Particle Detail Low
Ambient Occlusion Disabled
High Dynamic Range Quality
FidelityFX Super Resolution Disabled (Highest Quality)

Generally, most players playing on 4:3 stretched understand that their in-game visuals and graphics will immediately look bad, which is why Calyx has chosen to tone down almost all of his advanced video settings to maximize performance instead.

Calyx Radar Settings

The last set of settings we’ll take a look at is Calyx’s radar settings.

Radar Setting Value
Radar Centers Player Yes
Radar is Rotating Yes
Toggle Shape With Scoreboard Yes
Radar HUD Size 1
Radar Map Zoom 0.4

 

Most of Calyx’s radar settings remain untouched. However, he is using a radar map zoom value of 0.4, meaning his map is slightly zoomed out, allowing him to see more of his surroundings at all times.

Calyx Peripherals

Finally, we’re going to take a look at the peripherals and gaming gear Calyx uses to play CS2.

Peripheral Name
Monitor ZOWIE XL2566K
Mouse ZOWIE FK2-DW
Keyboard Logitech G715
Headset HyperX Cloud II
Mousepad Artisan FX Hien XSoft
Earphones Razer Hammerhead Pro V2
Processor Intel Core i7-10700K
Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070

It appears Calyx has tried out a ton of different gaming brands throughout his long career, as he is using various manufacturers for his gear.
