Shox CS2 Settings

shox CS2 (CSGO) Mouse Settings

shox is using the ZOWIE FK1+-C mouse to play CS2 (CSGO). Let's check out what mouse settings he is using to pair up with his gaming mouse!

DPI	400
Mouse Sensitivity	2.25
eDPI (Effective DPI)	900
Zoom Sensitivity	1
Hz	1000
Windows Sensitivity	5
Raw Input	0
Mouse Acceleration	0

Richard is using a mouse DPI value of 400, which is definitely low. However, he balances his in game sensitivity out with a mouse sensitivity of 2.25. This totals up his effective DPI value to be 900, which is slightly lower than an average professional CS2 (CSGO) player's eDPI.

shox CS2 (CSGO) Crosshair Settings

Here are the crosshair settings that the veteran player has been using to display his amazing pistol skills!

Draw Outline	0
Alpha	255
Color	4
Blue	0
Green	255
Red	0
Dot	0
Gap	-3
Size	1
Style	4
Thickness	0
Sniper Width	1

shox is using a light blue colored crosshair, which is a common color of choice when compared to other professional Counter Strike players. His crosshair is also really small, with a size of 1, and he is also using the fourth style of crosshair. Overall a pretty normal crosshair with nothing too surprising in it.

If you're into a small, light blue crosshair like shox is using, then try it out by copying and pasting his crosshair settings onto your console!

shox CS2 (CSGO) Viewmodel Settings

Now that the crosshair is over with, we'll be moving on to the viewmodel settings that Papillon uses to play Counter Strike.

FOV	60
Offset X	1
Offset Y	1
Offset Z	-1.5

Shift Left Amt	0.5
Shift Right Amt	0.25
Recoil	0
Righthand	1
Bob Lower Amt	21
Bob Amt Lat	0.4
Bob Amt Vert	0.25
Bob Cycle	0

One thing that immediately stands out is that shox is only using a viewmodel FOV of 60, whereas almost every other professional player is using the maximum value of 68. Similar to the majority of CS2 (CSGO) players, shox is using the right hand viewmodel. The final thing to point out is that shox has preferred to enable viewmodel bobbing, meaning that his gun hand will move whenever he walks.
