About CF, professional configuration 1, mouse

Due to different usage habits, we recommend different types of mouse products for the three basic gun shooting habits. Since it is impossible to list all usage habits, please choose a mouse product that suits you based on the combination of factors in the three basic situations.

We need to remind everyone: the mouse is the most important gaming peripheral. Whether you like it after a personal trial is the most important criterion for choosing a mouse.

Shooting Type 1

If the mouse is fast, pull the mouse once (move the mouse from the left to the right. If you need to move to the right, you have to lift the mouse and put it to the left again. Turn sideways) to complete a 180-degree turn. Micro-adjustment during shooting is more inclined to keep the mouse still and rely on the keyboard to pan left and right to complete aiming. The hand is small, so when holding the mouse, it is preferable to place the wrist and the outer edge of the palm on the table, and move the mouse with the fingers and wrist.

Recommended products:

1. Logitech G1 Price: 169

Logitech G3 Price: 259

Logitech G1 is its classic mouse MX300 The biggest feature of the successor is that it continues the appearance design of MX300. The special feature of this design is: flexible movement. Perfect for players who turn quickly and have open ears and eyes.

Driver: works best without installation.

2. Logitech MX518 Price: 249

Logitech MX518 is slightly taller than the G1, and it feels like a bulge in the middle when you hold it. At the same time, the weight of the mouse is much greater than that of the G1, and it is more flexible and more stable. The relative inertia also increases and requires some wrist strength.

Driver: It is best to install it. Failure to install the driver will affect performance in a small number of cases.

3. Microsoft Red Light Shark IO1.1 Price: 130

This is a product that is deeply loved by female players of FPS games. Currently, there are two common versions: white and black. The mouse is somewhere between the height of the G1 and the MX518, and has a decent weight, but the longer length may push some players' wrists off the table.

Driver: It is best to install it. Failure to install the driver will affect performance in a small number of cases.

Shooting Type 2

The mouse speed is slow and you need to pull the mouse 2 to 3 times to complete a 180-degree turn. During shooting, you can carefully adjust the mouse position to complete aiming. I have a large palm, so I am used to placing my entire palm on the mouse, supporting it with my elbow, and using my upper arm to move the mouse.

Suitable products

1. Microsoft IE3.0 Price: 165

Although currently there is only a replica version of IE3.0 on the market, but as "the world's most popular "Suitable for FPS games" mouse, this is definitely a product worth trying. Some versions of IE3.0 have a few flaws in the left-click micro-motion, but if the problem occurs, it can be repaired for only 10 yuan from Computer City.

IE3.0 has many supporters, so there are many versions to choose from. The most common ones are silver and white, and there are also pink versions. There are also a very small number of old versions, such as yellow, black, etc.

Driver: Must be installed. Failure to install the driver will be extremely disadvantageous.

2. Microsoft Habu Price: 415

This is a mouse jointly launched by Microsoft and Razer. It can be said that it combines the characteristics of the two major manufacturers. Microsoft's traditional form factor and Razer's cool optics. The resolution of this mouse is extremely high, which can provide more delicate micro-movement aiming for players with slow mouse speeds.

Driver: Must be installed. Failure to install the driver will be extremely disadvantageous.

3. Microsoft Sidewinder Price: 480

I personally do not recommend this mouse because it is too expensive, but its performance is really speechless.

Driver: Must be installed. Failure to install the driver will be extremely disadvantageous.

Shooting type three

Strictly speaking, the shooting type mentioned here is a mixture of the above two types. You may have some characteristics of the above two types at the same time, maybe more You can use both shooting methods proficiently in more situations. There is a core element here, that is, you are not sensitive to whether your wrist can be placed on the table. If you really need your wrist to be placed on the table, please choose a product in the first category.

Suitable products:

1. Razer Razer krait price: 160

This is razer’s low-end masterpiece, but it is also the prototype of all raazer mice product, it has all the advantages of a razer mouse. The Krait is also a small and lightweight mouse, but its shape is flatter and suitable for palm placement. In addition, the rear part is convex, making it difficult for many people to place their wrists on the table.

Driver: It is best to install it. Failure to install the driver will affect performance in a small number of cases.

2. Razer Copperhead Price: 380

This is razer’s mid-range representative work, and its performance needs no introduction. It is worth mentioning that it has a configuration recording function. Players who often go out for activities and competitions only need to set it once and do not need to set it up again. The settings will be the same wherever they go.

Driver: You need to set up the driver at home, and it will work best without installing it when you go out.

3. Razer 3G Sidewinder price: 330

Razer calls this mouse a combination of Copperhead and Infernal Viper, but personally I feel it is a simplification of Copperhead. version. The optical components use parts from the Purgatory Viper, and the appearance maintains the design of the Copperhead. Some rarely used parts are omitted from the driver, and the key changes are optimized.

Driver: It is best to install it. Failure to install the driver will affect performance in a small number of cases.

2. Mouse Pad Chapter

"A good horse deserves a good saddle." Without a good mouse click, no matter how good the mouse is, it will not be able to perform at its best. Mouse pads vary depending on the player's geographical location, usage habits and other factors. Here we will introduce the mouse pad material by category.

Cloth mouse pad

Cloth pad is the most compatible mouse pad, but its performance is not the best. Cloth pads are great for players who are afraid of the cold and want a lower price.

Regarding the cleaning of cloth pads:

It is best not to wash uncoated cloth pads, as they tend to curl when washed. The best cleaning method is to scrape the mat directly with a knife. Although it sounds very violent, the actual effect is better than washing with water.

For coated cloth pads, you cannot scrape them with a knife and can only wash them with water. But you must not use soap or washing powder for water washing. You can use dishwashing liquid. After washing, hang it up with clips to dry. It is best not to be exposed to direct sunlight when drying, otherwise it may become uneven.

Recommended products

1. Hellfire II price: 15

This is a very classic silk cloth pad, its silky feel is almost Close to resin mouse pad. This is my favorite cloth pad, and for the price, I couldn’t ask for more. The only drawback is that it gets dirty easily.

2. Rantopad H1/H3 Price: 20/25

H1 is a small size and H3 is a large size. They are different in size but have no difference in performance. This is a fabric pad that's nothing short of an inferno, and it's very pretty, with lots of patterns to choose from.

Very attractive to players who like personalized items.

3. Razer Armored Bug price: 100

The mesh layout of the Armored Bug is very unique, and it is divided into two surfaces: "speed" and "control". There is a certain difference in feeling. I personally recommend that CF players choose the "speed" version of the surface. Of course, some conscious players may prefer the "control" version.

4. SteelSeries QCK Price: 140~170

When you first start with the QCK series mats, you will notice that they are thick. All QCKs do not have the common problem of other cloth pads, which are easy to slide away on the table. QCK is not a cloth pad with particularly outstanding performance, but its performance in all aspects is average and can be said to be stable. In addition, QCK has many, many appearance versions, such as: pink Ironlady girls version, MYM version, Fnatic version, etc.

5. SteelSeries 5L/5C Price: 275/390

Although the surface is still cloth, strictly speaking, this series is no longer a cloth pad. The surface of this mouse pad is made of cloth, and the bottom layer is a plastic tray. It has the gentle characteristics of a cloth pad and the stability and non-slip characteristics of a resin pad. It was also favored by professional players.

Feet-fitting:

The cloth pad does not need to be specially matched with the mouse's feet. However, if players are looking for the feeling of increased friction from resin pads, they can choose fiber-woven resin feet.

Recommended combination:

Not suitable for mouse feet;

RANTOPAD MOUSE KEEPER Price: 15

Resin mouse pad

Resin mouse pads are the most popular type in competitive games, and they are the most cost-effective! Resin mouse pads are easy to wear, so their lifespan is usually half a year to a year. After using the resin pad for a year, the texture in the middle should have been smoothed out, and the performance has been greatly reduced.

I would like to remind you that there are almost no genuine products on the market such as FUNCsurface1030, a mythical product, so be careful when buying it.

Regarding the cleaning of the resin pad:

The resin pad can be wiped clean with a wet towel frequently, so there is no need to clean it. Never wipe with toilet paper, it will cause a lot of trouble.

If you don’t wipe it often and it is really dirty, rinse it on the faucet. Do not soak it in the basin, otherwise the edge of the mat will easily crack. When washing, you can gently brush it with a toothbrush. Do not use any detergent to avoid corroding the surface.

Recommended products:

1. SteelSeries Samp; S SOLO Price: 190

This is a very cost-effective product, if it is your first time If you use a resin pad, this is a product that is extremely worthy of the RMB in your hands.

2. SteelSeries SP Price: 190

Like SOLO, it is also a very cost-effective product. The characteristic of SP is that SP has a rough surface design and the friction force is smaller than SOLO.

3. Razer? Pro|Pad? Price: 180

This is a representative work of the relatively rare double-sided resin pad. The mythical product FUNCsurface1030 has created an extremely prosperous situation for double-sided resin pads, but Pro Pad is probably the only product that can be fully trusted on the market. There are so many fakes of FUNCsurface1030 that it is difficult to distinguish them. The so-called double-sided means that one side is thick and the other side is thin, and the friction force can be freely selected.

With foot stickers:

It is best to use the resin pad with mouse foot stickers. Choose different products based on your personal experience.

Need to slightly increase friction:

Fiber braided RANTOPAD MOUSE KEEPER Price: 15

Need to reduce friction:

Teflon material type foot-attached X-RAYPAD zero resistance (or other brands) Price: 15

Glass-aluminum mouse pad

Glass and aluminum are relatively rare mouse pad materials , and the glass aluminum mouse pad must be of high quality. However, the disadvantages also lie in the material. In the cold northern areas, it may be uncomfortable to use in winter and may be easily damaged while carrying. Problems such as this are prominent. However, the excellent performance of glass aluminum pads also has many loyal fans.

Recommended products:

1. ICEMAT2.0 Price: 320

ICEMAT is the first brand to create glass mouse pads. ICEMAT2.0 looks very cool and comes in a variety of colors to choose from. Its friction force is larger than that of resin pads, its stability is very outstanding, it is not easy to wear and has a longer service life. ICEMAT has many staunch supporters, whether they are FPS game players or RTS game players, they all favor it.

Due to the glass material, ICEMAT must have attached feet for the mouse. If you don't want to go through so much trouble, the easiest way is to use transparent tape as a base.

2. SteelSeries 4D Price: 160

4D is an aluminum alloy mouse pad. Similar to ICEMAT, it has large friction, long service life and outstanding stability, and is favored by a large number of professional players. Similarly, the aluminum material also makes 4D very cold in winter...

Combined with the feet:

Usually: glass aluminum special feet, ICEMAT mouse protector

Need to reduce friction: Teflon material for feet

Copycat method: transparent tape

3. Headphones

Headphones are another pair for CF players Eyes, without good headphones, means missing half of the information. All players who want to play the game well must first solve the problem of headphones, because headphones directly affect your "consciousness" and your on-the-spot judgment.

In headphones, price is the only influencing factor. Usually the headphones suitable for gaming are over-ear type. Players who hate heat can only choose their favorite earphones from Sennheiser and Audio-Technica.

Recommended products:

1. PLANTRONICS Audio350 Price: 150

This is the successor of PLANTRONICS’ classic product A90, inheriting the high cost performance of A90 features, it is definitely a product worthy of RMB. The A350 has changed the velvet earmuffs of the A90 and replaced them with genuine leather that is easier to scrub. The only drawback is that the volume control is mechanical and needs to be adjusted carefully to avoid unilateral sound after long-term use. The mechanical wire control only occasionally has poor contact. It just needs to be adjusted, and it is not easy to break.

2. PLANTRONICS DSP500 Price: 490

The biggest feature of DSP500 is that it comes with a sound card, which is much better than the AC97 integrated sound card of many computers, and has great performance in sound details. help. The only troublesome thing is that the driver must be installed, otherwise the sound card will not be recognized. DSP500 is the first choice of many semi-professional players.

3. Sennheiser PC131 Price: 195

PC131 is a classic product among small earmuff headphones. Players who are afraid of heat can focus on this one in the market. product. PC131 performs well for both music and games, and can be said to be an average product.

4. Steel Series SteelSound 3H /5H Price: 240/770

3H and 5H are classic representative products of mid-range and high-end gaming headsets respectively. If you look at the WCG China Finals, you will see that many CS players wear 3H or 5H.

5. SteelSeries Siberia (Siberia) Full-Size Price: 560

In addition to SteelSeries, Siberia also has the ICEMAT trademark. In fact, it is the same manufacturer and the same product. Siberia Headphones are the pinnacle of high-end gaming headsets. The all-inclusive earmuffs allow you to completely eliminate external interference and concentrate on every subtle sound in the game.

Siberia is available in two versions, with and without a sound card. The one with a sound card is more expensive, about 750 yuan. In addition, there are many choices in color, such as white, red, black, etc.

3. Keyboard

Maybe many CF players are not sensitive to the keyboard. However, there are not many keyboard operations in CF, but when the marksmanship encounters a bottleneck, the importance of "body skills" will be highlighted. , flexible and clumsy movements, weird and accurate jumps are all manifestations of "body skills". Therefore, the keyboard is still an important peripheral that cannot be ignored.

I personally do not recommend those so-called "game-specific keyboards" because there are many useless keys on them that ruin the shape of the keyboard and cause inconvenience to game operations. Expensive mechanical keyboards are also not recommended. This kind of product is not something we can consume.

Similar to headphones, the only difference between a keyboard and a keyboard is price and feel. Just choose the one you like and the price is acceptable.

Recommended products:

1. DELL SK-8115 Price: 55

8115 is a simplified version of DELL's high-end products, maintaining the "deep" buttons of its high-end products. "Feeling. The keys have soft elasticity and are definitely the best keyboard in this price range.

8135 is a favorite product of many FPS game enthusiasts. It also has the "deep" feeling of DELL's representative buttons. In addition, compared with 8115 The buttons have a more "crispy" feel, which is very suitable for slight movement during games.

3. IBM SK-8815 Price: 110

This is a strong competitor of DELL8135. It can be said that the performance of the two is comparable. The only thing you need to pay attention to is the difference in appearance between the two keyboards. The space bar of the 8135 is very large and protrudes, while the 8115 has a square keyboard shape. This difference has an impact on the jump of the thumb keys. Please adjust it according to your hand shape. and habitual choices.

4. Microsoft Multimedia Keyboard Price: 280

The biggest feature of the Microsoft keyboard is that it is "crisp", just like the feeling of mouse buttons, and it is very obvious that the key has been pressed. The force in the middle of pressing the button feels very small, and you press it as soon as your heart moves, without any intermediate process. Microsoft also has an old version of a white office keyboard. I really can’t remember the model. It’s also very suitable for games. You can take a look at it on the market.

5. Samsung Pleomax PKB-7000X Price: 140

The original Korean version is slightly more expensive, but it is worth it. After all, many Korean professional players use DT35.

About keyboard placement

Keyboard placement is related to our sitting posture and health. Here are two ways to share with you.

1. The keyboard is placed with the left back and right front

The keyboard tilted to the left is suitable for players with larger desktops. In this way, the left and right hands can be placed further apart, which can effectively share the pressure on the shoulders. The keyboard needs to be placed to the left of the chest. If it is placed directly in front, it will be very bad for the left wrist and may easily cause fatigue injuries.

2. Keyboard left front and right back

A keyboard tilted to the right is a method that many FPS players like, because it can reduce the pressure on the left wrist and place the keyboard directly on the chest. In the front, there is no need for a large desktop area. For CF players, this placement is very suitable for long-term gaming.
