The best player in all of Counter-Strike 2 right now is the young star donk. Naturally, you might want to copy donk’s settings in CS2 to see if his mouse settings, resolution or ViewModel are really the difference makers.

When 17-year-old donk made his big event debut at IEM Katowice 2024, there was already a buzz of hype around his name from smaller tournaments and online matches. But, no one could have predicted the frankly outrageous performance he pulled off.

Hus form didn’t falter either, and he’s now gone on to secure a Major, with an MVP performance in Shanghai.

So, while you certainly won’t be as good as donk, you might as well try out some of his CS2 settings for yourself.

donk’s mouse settings

donk uses a Logitech G Pro X Superlight mouse, with 800 DPI and 1.25 sensitivity.

donk’s Crosshair

The easiest way to copy donk’s exact crosshair is to copy and paste the crosshair code in settings:

CSGO-hzZ5A-fCrzh-oM824-FZTQd-cV6uC

donk’s monitor and resolution

When playing at home, donk plays on a ZOWIE XL2546K monitor, which has a 240Hz refresh rate.

Like most pros, donk plays on a stretched res. While this isn’t for everyone, it has the benefit of making player models appear wider. They’ll also move faster across your screen though, and reduce your field of view significantly.

SettingValue
Resolution1280×960
Aspect Ratio4:3
ScalingStretched
Display modeFullscreen
Brightness94%

Video settings

donk keeps his settings low to get the maximum FPS. There are some exceptions though, such as MSAA, and Shadows.

SettingValue

Dynamic ShadowsAll

Viewmodel

In CS2, the viewmodel settings will determine the position and movement of your hands, knife, and weapons on the screen.

Again, the easiest way to copy donk’s viewmodel is by copying the following commands into the console.

viewmodel_fov 68; viewmodel_offset_x 2.5; viewmodel_offset_y 0; viewmodel_offset_z -1.5; viewmodel_presetpos 2;
