I'm disabling controller. Okay, why is that? I I've never seen that. I'm just doing this for Manager told you [laughter] [music] This is my mouse pad.
kyousuke reveals his CS2 setup: mouse, keyboard, headset, Nvidia and in-game settings, and tips from his team and manager. Recorded at a LAN event.
Key Takeaways
- Many pro settings are copied from teammates and other players rather than built from scratch.
- kyousuke favors a low-latency, low-graphics setup with a high FPS cap matched to his monitor.
- He keeps mostly default or minimal configuration, including unchanged sensitivity and no custom drivers.
What the video covers
- kyousuke shows his peripherals, including a QCK heavy mousepad, G Pro keyboard with blue clicky switches, a HyperX Cloud II headset, and a pink Superlight mouse.
- He explains he stores his mouse in its box for protection while traveling to LANs, following his manager's advice.
- Monitor positioning is discussed; he copies monitor settings from other players, such as Serrato, when at LAN events.
- NVIDIA control panel settings include performance mode, a 500 Hz refresh rate, and full-screen GPU settings, with no color adjustments.
- In-game video settings are low for shadows, models, and textures, with a 500 FPS cap matched to the monitor's refresh rate.
- He keeps NVIDIA Reflex disabled, which he has done since CS2 launched, and uses a 1280x960 resolution.
- HUD and utility settings include player ping on, the air show HUD element removed, and radar scale set to 25.
- Sensitivity is at default with 1000 DPI, and he uses predictive ragdolls online but not in home ping conditions.
- He copies crosshairs from other players and does not use specific grenade lineups, and he discusses warm-up music habits.

Speaker A
What what Okay, QCK heavy. This is pretty pretty thick one as well. Yeah, it's I like thickness. This is my keyboard, G Pro, just [music] blue clicky switches.
Speaker A
I like the the way you click the switches. [music] You just can feel it.
Speaker A
Okay. That's why I'm playing like This is my [music] That's it. HyperX Cloud II.
Speaker A
Do you use uh in-ears for for LANs, obviously? So, what what in-ears do you use?
Speaker A
Actually If you have them here, it would be great. I have. Oh, nice. I don't know. It's gift from Nika. Nika gave me Nika gave me on in Cologne.
Speaker A
Nika who I use it. Okay. I will not Plug it. No, no, no, you don't need to plug this one.
Speaker A
We're in. What about the mouse? You have a beautiful pink one, super light. Yeah.
Speaker A
Have you tried the new one, Superlight? I didn't I didn't You didn't try? No.
Speaker A
All right. Like I'm always going below About the seating position. You're on max position.
Speaker A
I'm playing on 71 71 and 1/2 Yeah. By the way, you just plugged everything in from the from the backpack. Do you use any protective cases or or you have some extra stuff when you're traveling to the LANs? So,
Speaker A
for example, I saw that some people are like to smash their mices and they break. Do you have something extra, you know, when when something like that happens?
Speaker A
Mhm, I don't think so. No? No, I don't. Also, you don't put it like protective case like No, I I usually put my mouse in the box.
Speaker A
That's it. Is the mouse precious? Because my manager told me like I need to take care of my skates on the mouse.
Speaker A
So, I usually just put it in the in the box. Thumbs up to the manager. Good good job.
Speaker A
Good job on that. Yeah. And about the monitor position and [music] So I'm just I'm just checking so my mouse pad is a bit, you know, So it's laying over yeah.
Speaker A
overhanging. Okay. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Just a bit. Just a bit. Is this Is this because you I'm touching, you know, just with my hand.
Speaker A
So you don't touch the edge of the table, yeah? So it doesn't scratch you or anything like that.
Speaker A
Okay, what about the monitor? Monitor, I'm just putting a bit a bit [music] You know, you need to leave a gap for a monitor and how should I how to explain it?
Speaker A
Yeah, yeah, it makes sense. [music] And are you When you were putting it like higher on or down, this is comfortable for you? Oh, okay. So it's I'm I'm just doing like this usually.
Speaker A
You don't have I I I I don't I don't check. I don't I don't check.
Speaker A
Maybe rubs last, but I will If you're happy with this, it's 8 and [music] 1/2, by the way. So remember it for now.
Speaker A
8 It's random because we Yeah, we have a different We have different height of the table as well.
Speaker A
[music] I'm just checking uh [music] Yeah. And this is because I'm just When I'm going to LAN, I'm just taking the monitor settings of other player who was sitting before me. [music] Really?
Speaker A
Yeah, I'm I'm just like, you know, sitting and checking is it good or no.
Speaker A
Like for example, Serrato had very good monitor settings. I took from him and I really like it.
Speaker A
So we need to ask Serrato what is good you're basically liking. So the only thing that you're checking is the DAC.
Speaker A
And do you want to have it on premium or I usually have it premium.
Speaker A
Yeah? Yeah. Premium? Okay. [music] After I'm going manage 3D settings, I'm just clicking restore.
Speaker A
Apply. You don't change anything there after you restore? don't change anything. [music] I just put here uh performance.
Speaker A
Performance, yeah? Apply. Change resolution, default resolution. And 500 Hz, apply. You play 500? Okay.
Speaker A
Yeah, always my my manager told me I need to play 500, so I just listen to him.
Speaker A
It's like your manager is commanding all of the stuff. [laughter] Okay, full screen? Full screen.
Speaker A
GPU on? Mhm. Override we put this check mark. Apply. [music] We are done with Nvidia.
Speaker A
Okay. You don't adjust colors or anything like that? I don't do it. [music] I don't do it.
Speaker A
Okay. Next I'm going to library uh properties. Yeah. I'm disabling controller. Okay. Why is that? I I've never seen I don't know. I'm just doing this for Manager told you?
Speaker A
[laughter] No. Actually when he saw I'm doing this he said, "Okay, okay. You know you know you know what you're doing." Yeah.
Speaker A
After I'm going to disable overlay because I don't use it. Makes sense. You don't have no launch properties or anything like I don't have anything. I'm just disabling overlay because I can like you know I can just miss buttons and yes, do
Speaker A
it randomly accidentally. Okay. So, we go in uh game settings so video. You said you just set the full screen right?
Speaker A
No, I didn't because if you do it you will lock you know when you Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay.
Speaker A
So, for uh presets I'm just using it. 8X? All. I don't use uh global shadow quality because if you if you input low you will you will see everything everything.
Speaker A
Mhm. Okay. Model texture detail low as well. Texture quality? Quality. Okay. Uh disable highest [music] quality.
Speaker A
And this is this is how you have it, okay. Yeah. Also put 500 FPS max. [music] So, you match it with the Hertz of the monitor.
Speaker A
Yes. I'm usually like switching sometimes 500 to 600. But right now I'm taking 500. So, Nvidia Reflex low latency I put disabled tools.
Speaker A
Really? Interesting. Yeah. A lot of players are starting to enable it now. I just played disabled since CS 2 came out. So, I didn't change it and I like the way game works for me.
Speaker A
Mhm. Yeah, it makes complete sense. Okay. After I'm going to full screen. And 1280 [music] by 960, yeah, is your resolution.
Speaker A
Mhm. [music] Grenade binds? Yeah. Flash C, smoke mouse three. Mouse three is the mouse button?
Speaker A
Uh mouse [music] three is uh scroll wheel when you press it, yeah. When you press it.
Speaker A
Like what I do next, player ping I have on this. It just easy for me [music] Yeah.
Speaker A
to show where the nades are, for example. When you drop it. So, I'm not jumping on scroll because you saw what happens.
Speaker A
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Manager told me to remove, I listened to him. [laughter] I mean, manager is a lovely lovely [music] lovely guy.
Speaker A
[music] I'm putting air show built in for zero. It just removing your text from the the left corner.
Speaker A
You're annoyed by that a little bit, yeah? I don't know how players playing with it.
Speaker A
So, they don't move, they don't distract you. Spinning spinning toilet. Toilet, yeah, yeah. I I saw that on Faceit as well. It kills me. What about What about sensitivity and stuff like that? Do you Do you do that in game or
Speaker A
you're already I have put 128. 128? Yeah. By the way, in control panel, you didn't change anything at all. No mouse, no no no no changes in volume.
Speaker A
Uh [music] no. What about drivers? No. No drivers? You're just plug and play kind of guy?
Speaker A
It's the It's the way I'm playing in one usual. I'm not changing anything in mouse sensitivity. It's usually [music] default, you know.
Speaker A
So, your sensitivity What about mouse hurts then? Mouse hurts is 1,000. 1,000 as well? Okay.
Speaker A
Like I'm removing wheel up. It's just switching your guns. Yes. Damage prediction, do you use it?
Speaker A
I use always just one. I said [music] to Nico, he was not using when I joined the team. I said to him, he said it's very nice and he started using it a lot.
Speaker A
Okay, so online you'd use predictive ragdolls, but everything else is on no. Yeah, yeah. In home, I don't use it because I have like 40 ping and just When you shoot a headshot, you had some you back like when head [music] spinning
Speaker A
around when you hit it. Cross hair I usually just copy from other player, so I don't set up it here.
Speaker A
Who's your favorite player to copy from? I don't know. We are playing against mouse, so some of the mouse but not search. Okay, I saw Okay, your cross hair. [music] Yeah.
Speaker A
So you don't have lineups of grenades for specifically cross hair. Like you don't need like No, [music] no, no, no. I'm usually not throwing my new utility, so [laughter] Okay.
Speaker A
We going to radar. [music] Yes. You put this one 25. What's the key? It just you have For example, when you're going down on nuke and there are smoke, you just You just know where they are because you're looking to our radar
Speaker A
right. [music] It's more than enough. A lot of players are using this. Especially if you're getting like stuck in the smoke.
Speaker A
in the smoke and you can see where Is there a player or not? Yeah, yeah, makes sense. It's like free information [music] that you're using thanks to the bug. Okay.
Speaker A
Do you for audio, do you have some kind of a preference when it comes to no.
Speaker A
You just everything is on default. Yes, yes, yes. Yeah, do you use default Sorry, natural or equal or I don't Okay, you didn't change it. You You tried Yeah, no, I I haven't tried. I haven't tried.
Speaker A
Okay. Actually we put it on view model. Preset was two. Yeah. Okay. [music] This is default view model that everyone use, so I use it as well.
Speaker A
When you jump into, let's say, aim bots [music] or or any workshop map that you prefer before the before the tournament, you know, obviously you don't have access to the [music] internet on the on the on the stage. So how do you warm up?
Speaker A
I'm usually going to aim bots and shoot like 500 bots. 500 bots? Five 500 so it's fine for [music] me. In the past I was shooting like more than 1,000 and it didn't help me, so I'm just shooting 500 or 1,000 is it's fine for
Speaker A
me. That's what manager said. And another thing is that when you warm up, do you listen to some music? Like this is very important for a lot of players, so It depends on the tournament because sometimes I don't bring my AirPods and I
Speaker A
don't know I forgot it. And some organizations like PGL, ESL, they have Spotify in their PCs.
Speaker A
Yes. You can You can submit your playlist before the event, right? And some of them don't have it, so it depends on the organization [music] or not.
Speaker A
Okay. You said you said it's it's strange to talk about [music] the crosshair, right?
Speaker A
And I I completely get it. So, you're just the guy that is kind of like vibing [music] it up. And you're copying like Bro, I copy I copy Niko cuz he's very good actually.
Speaker A
[music] Yeah. He got like I can tell you. Size one, gap minus four. I think and the thickness one point a half or What about the color? Is it light blue?
Speaker A
It was green but it's like green [music] mixed blue I think. Yeah, yeah. I I know which one you're talking about. He used that in CSGO as well.
Speaker A
[laughter] Yeah, yeah. But he's insane with his with his crosshair. What about left-hand and right-hand? Do you switch that? [music] No, never.
Speaker A
Never? Never. So, sometimes you're just not seeing an enemy because of your gun model No, actually I I don't think I have it's happened to me.
Speaker A
It didn't happen? [music] I don't remember. I was still thinking about this. Okay. We spoke about you don't like animated avatars. But do you have Because some players are playing with just numbers up top.
Speaker A
Yeah. You want to see the avatars at all times right? No, I'm fine to see avatars. I don't I just don't like it when it's like animated avatars. So, it's like distracting me.
Speaker A
Yeah, because when you have numbers, you don't see HP of the teammates, you know Yeah, yeah.
Speaker A
underneath. So, it it bothers some people that they're unable to tell oh, my teammate is low HP so I can adjust it. Have you ever thought about it?
Speaker A
No. No? No. Because if you put avatars, you see like a little like thing underneath, right?
Speaker A
As well. Yeah, [music] yeah. I don't know. All right. One last thing I'm going to ask best tips you received or best tip you gave to someone about LAN [music] because obviously you're playing in a tournament where I mean in a team where you have
Speaker A
Niko and you have experienced guys. Have they ever told you something that okay, I will start using it from now on.
Speaker A
Obviously your manager did a lot of talking but other than that some players. What did they What did they give you?
Speaker A
Actually, I don't remember any tips. Like in game one I I is the [music] one of most important if like self-confidence you know because when I really achieve it you just need to do [music] what you believe like in. So I
Speaker A
think confidence is the most important thing. Mhm. You know what you can do even like stupid stuff but it will work because you believe in.
Speaker A
That's the beauty of Counter-Strike, right? Yeah. Yeah, if you do it together, if you do it with confidence it will work.
Speaker A
Yeah. Well, Maxim good luck at the tournament. Thank you for guiding us through your setup and how you have everything. I think it's extremely valuable. A lot of [music] players are copying setup.
Speaker A
What's your thought on that? If you you have a lot of fans obviously. Do you think your fans should copy your setup to play like you?
Speaker A
Yeah, I think if they start playing CS they should copy settings and just to see like are are they comfortable on this sensitivity [music] or not.
Speaker A
Mhm. They can just check and just to feel they can copy like settings from pro if they are only start the game.
Speaker A
All right. Perfect. Where is the live by? Thank you for this. Thank you. And I will see [music] you.
Speaker A
See you.
