s1mple is one of the most studied players in CS2 history. Fans and aspiring pros worldwide look up his exact in-game settings to understand what hardware and configuration underpins a Rating 1.18 AWP performance at the highest level.
Mouse & Sensitivity
S1mple has historically played on a low sensitivity setup. At BC Game Esports he continues using a high-precision gaming mouse with DPI in the 400–800 range, combined with a low in-game sensitivity. His effective dots-per-inch (eDPI) has been reported around 800–1000, enabling smooth micro-adjustments on the AWP.
Crosshair
His crosshair style is a small, static dot-style crosshair — minimal, centred, with no dynamic spread — designed to maintain clean aim reference without visual noise during peek angles. The crosshair code is regularly updated and posted on his stream.
Resolution & Display
S1mple has famously used a 4:3 stretched resolution (1280×960 stretched) for the wider player model appearance it provides. He plays on a high-refresh-rate monitor, typically 240Hz or higher, to minimise input lag during rapid AWP scoping.
Video Settings
Global shadow quality is set low to reduce visual clutter and maximise frame rates. Texture and shader quality are balanced to retain clear player outlines. S1mple consistently advocates for high frame rates over visual fidelity in a competitive context.
