can u tell me about shroud Headphones setting. or equalizer
He uses a logitech mousepad now. Not sure which one though.
Bot in the mixer: DPI: 450 – Windows: 6/11 – Raw-Input: On – 1000 Hz Polling Rate – PUBG:
Why shroud now use the Logitech G Pro X, when before he used 2 models of wireless headphones ? Is it because of the new BLUE VO!CE technology or what is the reason ? How do you think ?
My guess it’s just because of the sponsorship deal, although the Blue Vo!ce technology does seem to work great. Definitely a wireless headset is a lot more convenient, so go with whatever works for you!
sponsorship deal for sure
just want to say this my fave page because of showing previous equipment and current
Shroud now uses a logitech headset, it’s either the Logitech Pro or Pro X, I don’t know
Updated the page, thanks!
Shroud has always used 1000hz polling rate
https://clips.twitch.tv/UglySwissPorcupineDancingBaby
That’s what he said, but then I saw him on stream live (long after that clip) opening his settings and realizing he’s been using 500 Hz polling rate. Because there’s a lot of misinformation (sometimes coming from shroud himself), I try to post settings as long as I have proof.
Suppose he says he changed his DPI setting, I’ll update the article when I have a screenshot or I see it live on stream, as that’s the best way to make sure the info is accurate and current.
I’m confident as of Oct 2019, shroud’s still using 500 Hz polling rate. Hope this helps!
His current monitor??
so which radiators does he use? i don’t care who answers me, i just want one
Right now, he’s using hyperx alloy FPS keyboard. Checked his tweet the other day, and saw it on one of his Oneplus promotional Tweet !
Good catch, updated the page, thank you!
does shroud use hold toggle or double tap for peek ? thanks in advance
Hey Bradley, shroud uses hold for peeking. Hope this helps!
Shroud is now using G PRO Wireless: https://www.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/cnd29f/shroud_converts_to_g_pro_wireless/
Thanks John, updated the page!
His current monitor??
shroud went back to using the BenQ XL2540 (updated the article)
Is Shroud really using xb272?
Elsewhere it says to use xb252.
Yeah he is, there’s a bunch of sites out there that don’t update their content 🙂 Hope this helps!
Hi, are you sure he uses a polling rate of 500? How do u know?
He opened up his mouse settings live on stream, saw it with my own eyes. Hope this helps!
Hi. When shroud was in his CSGO prime time did he use 500Hz for his mouse THX.
I do think so, he’s been using 500Hz since his pro days is my guess.
Bro I’m new in Pubg then how will I get all the emotes of Pubg?
Doesn’t shroud use 450 dpi now? And is his mouse still 500hz?
That’s correct, he’s using 450 DPI – I’ve updated the article, thanks for the heads up!
And yes, as far as I know, he’s still on 500 Hz polling rate.
Which cherry mx switches he use? Red,brown or blue?
I think he mentioned he has the MX Red switches.
Hope this helps!
Thank you!
What nvidea scaling shroud use pls thanks you.
Why shroud use nvidia “color vibrance” if he can tweak the feature on his monitor benq xl2430 itself?
Not sure why, that’s just what he does..
How much does it all costs? (willing to buy the full setup)
if your talking about just his gear on this website probably around 1k or more, just because his old monitor is quite pricey probably around $500, his new monitor is https://amzn.to/2VRGviT
You guys might want to read up on what gsync does. Gsync is not related to input lag at all due to being a hardware solution whereas vsync does significantly increase input lag, becauss its a software solution to syncimg frames
Yea but it causes input lag from the monitor itself cause it has to take that 80fps signal process that and then match the refresh rate of the monitor to the fps in game so yea theres a tone of input lag from the monitor lol
lmao noooo there isn’t, you clearly know nothing about g-sync
Does He use Markc fix
Windows mouse sensitivity wont matter since the game uses raw input.
Not entirely true.
Windows mouse sensitivity affects inventory curser speed.
Hi..
do you know about his mouse setting?
i mean, 4th & 5th button on the left side of the mouse
sorry for my bad english.
yeah, screenshot of all his keybindings?
What shirt does shroud wear? What does he eat daily? What is his room temperature?
In one of the pictures his Screenscale is 100 and in another it’s 120
Also is his Viewdistance Very Low or Low
Thanks
Does someone know why did he revert back from the G Pro to the older G303?
If im not mistaken, he does not fond of the G pro shape. Does not fit his hand very well
Does shroud use sound equalization?
HI 🙂
does he change the vertical sens in new patch ?
or just default 0.70?
thx 🙂
He use default (0.70).
hey, this is actually not true. he edits his his input.ini file to make his mouse movement 1:1. He doesn’t edit vertical sens setting in game because the input.ini file overrides that and he does not need to adjust it.
https://www.reddit.com/r/PUBATTLEGROUNDS/comments/881dj5/psa_11_mouse_sensitivity_fix/
I highly recommend you use this fix, if you have any muscle memory from other FPS’s it will be destroyed from the slower vertical sens of the default.
Does he turn on mouse acceleration? thanks a lot.
Hey Dylan,
No mouse acceleration – btw most gamers don’t use acceleration so that there is a consistent 1:1 relationship between the physical movement of the mouse and the movement of the crosshairs on screen. Hope this helps!
Kind of but the setting is from 0-10 soo?
Hi, anyone know what socks he wears?
I believe it is low-mid-cut double wide, twice stitched polyester-nylon mixture available only at Hanes.
Do we know if Shroud is using the 1:1 sensitivity mouse fix ?
(this one) : https://www.reddit.com/r/PUBATTLEGROUNDS/comments/881dj5/psa_11_mouse_sensitivity_fix/
Or did he leave it by default?
What are his windows settings to go with this mouse? :O
What is shroud’s polling rate for his mouse? I be seeing 500 or 1000 polling rate from many different sites.
Hey Jerry, I saw him live on stream going into his mouse settings and it showed he was using 500 Hz, so I still say 500 Hz, although some people here have said that he did change it. I will keep checking and updating the article as I get more info, but 500 Hz is your best bet IMO.
What ? u tell me a long a time ago he unsintall this logitech software, so how did you see him showed this mouse hz ? 😮
You help show this clip him live on stream going into his mouse settings and it showed plz. i want to see.
which button does shroud set to Aim/ADM?
What are the all keyboard settings? like the button for the health pack, the button for the grenade.. etc? thanks
I believe he said that he used the standard keyboard layout PUBG comes with. He doesn’t have to switch up a whole lot because he has been typing left-handed since he was 3. So his keystrokes aren’t like us mere mortals where we have to have everything in the same place every time. He regularly says he changes what fingers hit what keys depending on his situation.
which button does shroud set to vault?
left CTRL
what chair does he use?
MaxNomic
which button does shroud set to jump?
Hi! Just default spacebar.
thanks for replied,
but I’m wondering why Shroud can jump on windowsill but not climb on it? is that a skill or what?
shroud actually bound the “vault” key to his Ctrl key, so he can jump on windowsills without vaulting. Thanks!
i need a 2×2 meters mousepad with this settings oO … really?^^
Haha, I know Poolday, it’s pretty crazy. You can actually see shroud use his entire arm to do a quick clutch turn + shoot.
Btw, have you changed your Windows mouse settings to the ones shroud uses? Otherwise the in-game sensitivity setting would produce different results.
Thanks for the comment!
what exactly is shrouds windows mouse setting? how do i change it?
What’s his graphics settings now ? is it the same ?
Hi Johndave, yes the information is current (you can check the top screenshots as well for confirmation).
Shroud did confirm during the twitch rivals tournament that he changed his vaulting to a separate button. This was when he watched the clip of the Doc dying trying to vault through a window but jumping instead.
Thanks for the info Tyler!
Doesn’t shroud have a titan Z?
He does but I’m pretty sure he is still using his 1080Ti for his gaming rig. Will confirm ASAP.
Thanks for the comment!
Shroud has view distance at very low , but why?
And is his mouse dpi on 400?
Hi Daniel, actually his view distance is now set to LOW. The reason being that it’s just the distance at which buildings and terrain features are drawn, so having it LOW removes some of the fps drops that you get when you look towards a city or any area that’s dense with buildings. Players are all drawn at the same distance. Besides, even the LOW setting is really, very far.
And yes, his mouse DPI is set to 400.
Another reason he uses the low or very low settings for this is because if he is shooting from extreme distances away no grass or bushes render but people do so it is a little less difficult to hit the shit with no distractions.
I’m interested in the sound settings please, I’ve could tell where a pin drops on CS but on PUBG I am getting better but its not as easy.
Stereo or 7.1?
Does he enable loudness equalisation?
Any external modifier software (some sound enhancer) I doubt he does this the most.
Any other changes from default sounds / windows?
Thanks
Hi Rich, I actually don’t have a definitive answer for you BUT I’ve heard that he uses just regular Stereo and no modifiers (hardware or software). I’ll update the article as soon as I find out more though. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for your information and keep updating.
Does he change any control setting?
If he does, plz tell all to me.
Hi Wade! No, Shroud uses the default control settings in PUBG. Thanks for the comment!
Hi , he is using logitech software ? or he uninstall it after changing dpi ? thanks you.
Probably not using Logitech software anymore is my guess.. Thanks for the comment!
thanks you
why using the 500hz polling rate instead of 1000Hz?
Not sure, people were asking him and he just said he didn’t care that much. Now I’m getting people saying that he switched over to 1000Hz, but until I can confirm it definitively, I’m keeping the 500Hz on the article. Thanks!
propably he uses 500 polling only with pubg, like other players too, because of the input lag pubg causes with mouse on 500hz.
What mousepad is shroud now useing?
Hey Devo, he’s using the HyperX Fury S. Added it to the page. Thanks!
Which controls for using for leaning right/left? q and e? Thanks
Yeah, shroud uses the default Q and E for leaning. Happy to help!
Now shroud use 1000hz?
plz edit or update here are his settings now : (link redacted)
Thanks very much, updated the article!
excuse me，is that shroud hold to aim or toggle to aim？please tell me
He uses toggle to aim, I believe. Thanks!
There-s no point using his settings, youll never be as good! deal with it
Does he use stereo sound or 7.1?
I remember vaguely that he discussed this on Twitch but i can’t remember exactly what he said. I think he uses stereo for PUBG; he explains why but i forgot.
you should find out his mouse keybinds if he has them, like them extra buttons on the side? i have some on my mouse and have contemplated using them for leaning like i do in RB6S
Shroud uses the default key bindings for leaning (at least that’s what he said), but I think it would be a good idea to use the mouse buttons.
I’m gonna try it too, hopefully that won’t confuse my brain to much with switching to ADS, shooting and leaning all on the right hand.
He is using Logitech G633,not G533.
I know that on his Twitch page he put that he uses the G633, but if you actually look at his stream, shroud is clearly using the G533.
(Check out the picture)
Hope this helps, thanks for the comment!
Yes,I bought G633,and data line has just been broken.This may be the reason why he changed the headphones.
He changed headsets to HyperX Revolver because C9 is partnered with HyperX now
can u find out about control settings, like lean crouch or whatever too?
Hey Bryan, shroud said on stream that he just uses the default commands. So, “C” for crouch and “Q” and “E” for leans. Hope this helps!
I want shroud monitor settings! ty 🙂
Hi saxpayne,
Been working on getting the monitor settings, I will update this page as soon as I have them. Thanks for the comment!
Just look them up, He shows them while settings it up at lan.
I want shroud pubg steam set launch options.
Hi jojodica,
I remember hearing him say on stream he runs the client with no launch options, if anyone knows otherwise, please let me know.
Doesnt shroud use 1000hz?
Like a month ago he confirmed live on stream that he uses 500Hz polling rate.
he play cod show his logitech setting is 1000 hz
your note of SHROUD NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL SETTINGS is wrong, he doesnt use 2.8 gamma, it’s not check on the picture. He checks the line “other applications control settings.
Good point, didn’t realize that. Thanks Elliot!
you said view distance at medium, but the version you took this information from is old. he uses now very low view distance.
Thanks shoozy! I’ll see if I can get screenshot proof of that and I’ll update the config.
the second screenshot even proves it
True. Gonna change it.
