FAQs
Q: Why does Mande use 800 DPI and 1.50 sensitivity?
This gives him an effective DPI (eDPI) of ~1,200, balancing precision with turn speed — enough for accurate shots and fast flicks.
Q: Why is per-optic ADS sensitivity turned off?
With per-optic off, his sensitivity remains consistent across all scopes, which helps maintain muscle memory and aim consistency.
Q: What is the benefit of 1000 Hz polling rate?
A 1000 Hz polling rate means the mouse reports its position to the computer 1000 times per second, reducing input delay and giving very tight, responsive aim.
Q: Why are graphic settings so low/off?
Lowering or disabling graphics options (like shadows, volumetric lighting, effects) helps maximize FPS and reduces distractions, giving a clearer and more consistent competitive view.
Q: Can I copy his settings exactly?
Yes, you can use them as a baseline — but sensitivity and keybinds are very personal. It’s recommended to test in the firing range and tweak based on what feels comfortable and effective for you.
