CS2 Pro Players Settings Guide
Starting by looking at the configurations and hardware used by the pros is a great way to find the perfect CS setup for you. However, it’s important that you customize these settings to suit your own comfort and play style. Different roles in the game often require different setups - for example, AWPers typically use low sensitivity, while lurkers might prefer higher sensitivity.
What's more, interestingly enough, not all pros use flawless mouse sensors.
When choosing a mouse, you need to make sure it fits your hand well. Try out different grips to find what works best for you. While a 144Hz monitor does come with noticeable advantages, new players can still perform well with a 60Hz monitor. Also, you should also consider the mouse pads the pros use, as they often prefer larger ones for better control.

If you’re unsure where to start, many choose to start with a sensitivity of 2 and 400 DPI, then fine-tune from there until you find the perfect settings.
That being said, here are the settings used by the top players:
