G2 Esports talisman Nikola ‘NiKo’ Kovač is reaching his superstar form once again. As one of CS:GO’s best, those looking to replicate NiKo’s in-game environment will be interested to see everything from his resolution, mouse settings, and viewmodel.
There are thousands of ways to fine-tune CS:GO settings. While everyone has different preferences, seeing what the top players use can be a big help in finding the right adjustments that fit an individual’s playstyle.
Don’t be surprised if CS:GO settings from people like s1mple or ZywOo feel odd to use. Every pro finds what works for them, but it should provide a lot of insight on what the top players prefer.

NiKo’s mouse settings
NiKo uses a Zowie S2 mouse and he has a steady 400 DPI that he accompanies with a 1.51 in-game sensitivity. Whether its with a rifle or an AWP, this sens will give you great control to hit shots with accuracy, if you work on your aim that is.

| DPI | 400 |
| Sensitivity | 1.51 |
| Zoom Sensitivity | 0.90 |
| eDPI | 604.0 |
| Hz | 1000 |
| Windows Sensitivity | 6 |
| Raw Input | On |
| Mouse acceleration | Off |
NiKo’s Crosshair
NiKo’s crosshair isn’t quite a dot but there’s hardly any room inside of the reticle’s four lines. It’s good for precise shots and the white hue makes it easy to refocus on what lies ahead.
For people who want to experiment with NiKo’s crosshair, just copy these settings into the CS:GO console.
NiKo’s monitor and resolution
As far as monitors go, NiKo uses a BENQ XL2546 that easily pumps out frames with its 240hz refresh rate.
