XANTARES CS2 Mouse Settings - Sensitivity and DPI
To execute his signature lightning-fast peeks and snappy aim, XANTARES plays on a relatively high sensitivity compared to the average Counter-Strike 2 professional.
Currently wielding a ZOWIE FK1-C, he plays on 400 DPI with an in-game sensitivity of 2.3, which results in a high eDPI of 920. This elevated eDPI is the engine behind his explosive playstyle, allowing him to clear angles aggressively and hit rapid, robotic spray transfers without needing massive, fatiguing arm movements across his mousepad. To round out his configuration, he runs a zoom sensitivity of 1.1, slightly above the default, making his scoped weapon movements a bit more responsive, all while locked in at an industry-standard 1000Hz polling rate and a 6/11 Windows sensitivity.
Mouse: ZOWIE FK-1-C
DPI: 400
Sensitivity: 2.3
eDPI: 920
Zoom Sensitivity: 1.10
Hz: 1000
Windows Sensitivity: 6

XANTARES Video Settings for CS2
Like many seasoned professionals who transitioned from Global Offensive, XANTARES prefers the traditional, focused feel of a stretched 4:3 aspect ratio. He plays on a 1024x768 resolution scaled to full screen, which makes player models appear significantly wider and easier to hit during his signature rapid-fire duels.
To push frame rates to the absolute limit and fully utilize his 540Hz ZOWIE XL2586X monitor, he keeps almost all advanced video settings on their lowest values, including model, shader, and particle detail. However, he does enable "Boost Player Contrast" and uses 4x MSAA to ensure enemy silhouettes stand out clearly against complex backgrounds. This purely competitive configuration sacrifices visual fidelity for maximum performance, ensuring zero input lag and visual clarity when entering a chaotic bomb site.

XANTARES Monitor Settings for CS2
To complement his high-performance PC and aggressive playstyle, XANTARES relies on the BenQ ZOWIE XL2586X, a cutting-edge 540Hz monitor that offers unparalleled motion clarity. To maximize visibility and spot enemies instantly during chaotic firefights, he utilizes specific hardware-level color profiles. He sets his monitor's Picture Mode to "Gamer 2" with the Brightness and Contrast both cranked up to 70.
More importantly, he pushes the Black eQualizer up to 20 - a crucial setting that dramatically brightens dark corners on maps like Mirage and Inferno without blowing out the highlights. Combined with a Color Vibrance setting of 13 to make player models pop against drab backgrounds and ZOWIE's DyAc technology set to "Premium" to reduce motion blur, XANTARES ensures he never loses track of a target, even in the middle of a frantic spray transfer.
Here you can find XANTARES monitor settings:
DyAc: Premium
Black eQualizer: 20
Color Vibrance: 13
