When it comes to Counter-Strike prowess, s1mple is one of the most recognizable pro players on the scene – and he has been for some time, so time to look at some s1mple CS2 settings. Some sad news is that he currently on a hiatus, but his big impact on the game remains. We already know what gaming mouse s1mple uses – that would be the Logitech G Pro X Superlight, so it makes sense that it’s our best gaming mouse for CS2.
Granted, switching straight over to s1mple’s settings probably won’t make you the best player alive overnight, but it is an interesting look at what one of the best CS players finds to be an optimal setup. We’re going to talk about his mouse & crosshair settings, as well as video settings.

s1mple CS2 mouse & crosshair settings
First thing’s first: mouse settings. As an aim-heavy game, CS2 relies on accurate mouse input, so what does the best of the best use? Do note that mouse and crosshair settings are generally down to personal preference and muscle memory. Regardless, here’s what s1mple uses:

s1mple CS2 viewmodel settings
While viewmodel settings in CS2 are relatively limited, still not including our beloved CS2 left hand command, there is still stuff you can do to affect how your gun model looks.
- Field of view: 68
- Offset X: 2.5
- Offset Y: 0
- Offset Z:
- Presetpos: 3
To easily apply these settings, copy and paste the below command into the CS2 developer console.
viewmodel_fov 68; viewmodel_offset_x 2.5; viewmodel_offset_y 0; viewmodel_offset_z -1.5; viewmodel_presetpos 3;s1mple CS2 config
Config, short for configuration, is a full pack of these settings above which you can place in your CS2 files to apply all of these changes at once, rather than individually. In order to get the config, you’ll need to a download a .cfg file. The best place to do this is at ProSettings via the link here.
