🇩🇰 Nicolai “device” Reedtz is one of the most decorated players in Counter-Strike history. The Danish AWPer is widely recognized as the most consistent AWPer the game has ever seen. With four Major championship titles, multiple HLTV Top 5 rankings, and a reputation for near-perfect positioning and patience, device has defined what it means to be an elite AWPer in the modern era.

After stints with NIP and Astralis, device moved to 100 Thieves — bringing his wealth of experience and championship pedigree to the North American organization. His longevity at the top of the professional scene is a testament to his adaptability and methodical approach to the game.

Current Mouse: Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2

device uses the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2, an ultra-lightweight wireless mouse weighing just 60g. The Superlight 2 features Logitech’s HERO 2 sensor with up to 32,000 DPI and connects via LIGHTSPEED wireless technology, delivering a latency-free experience that rivals wired connections. The symmetrical ambidextrous shape supports both palm and claw grips, making it versatile for device’s controlled, deliberate aim style.

The G Pro X Superlight 2 has become one of the most popular mice among professional CS2 players thanks to its exceptional weight-to-performance ratio. At 60g it is significantly lighter than many competitors, reducing fatigue during long matches and enabling smoother, more effortless mouse movements — a meaningful advantage for an AWPer who relies on precise, patient crosshair placement.

In-Game Settings Breakdown

device’s CS2 settings reflect his methodical, precision-first approach:

• DPI: 800
• In-game sensitivity: 1.2
• eDPI: 960 (DPI × sensitivity)
• Polling rate: 1000Hz
• Resolution: 1280×960 (stretched)
• Refresh rate: 240Hz

An eDPI of 960 sits in the moderate range for professional CS2 players. Most CS2 pros operate between 600 and 1400 eDPI, placing device near the middle — a balance between the precision AWPers need and the rotational speed required for modern CS2’s faster pace of play.

Why These Settings?

device’s 800 DPI hardware setting is a popular choice among modern CS2 professionals. At this level, the HERO 2 sensor in the Superlight 2 operates with excellent precision and zero smoothing, delivering clean raw input to the game engine.

The 1.2 in-game sensitivity at 800 DPI yields an eDPI of 960 — notably higher than his previous 640 eDPI setup. This shift suggests device has adapted to CS2’s faster gameplay dynamics, trading some of his former ultra-low-sensitivity precision for improved rotational speed and versatility. An eDPI of 960 still sits comfortably in the range favored by AWPers and hybrid players, offering strong precision for long-range picks while allowing quicker reactions in close-quarters engagements.

His 1280×960 stretched resolution is standard among professional CS2 players. The stretched display widens target models horizontally, which can marginally aid tracking and peeker detection. Combined with a 240Hz monitor, device minimizes input lag while maintaining a sharp, high-framerate visual experience.

Compared to his earlier career with a 640 eDPI, device’s move to 960 eDPI reflects the broader trend in professional CS2 toward slightly higher sensitivities, while still remaining well below the aggressive settings used by many entry fraggers and riflers.

Career Highlights

device’s achievements include four CS:GO Major championships with Astralis (FACEIT London 2018, IEM Katowice 2019, StarLadder Berlin 2019, BLAST Premier Spring 2021 era), multiple HLTV Top 10 annual rankings, and a reputation as the most consistent AWPer of the modern era. His calm demeanor and clinical precision under pressure are hallmarks of his play.
