For his mouse setting, you can see a pretty standard setup with high DPI and low sensitivity settings. Even though it looks pretty simple, it is probably the most crucial part of the entire setup, as these settings affect how quickly and accurately crashies hits all the targets. He got used to these settings over the years, so if you prefer a different setup (for example — low DPI, high sensitivity), no worries; the most important thing is that it works for you. However, if you don't have your go-to setup and you're searching for inspiration, crashies's mouse settings are definitely worth trying out!

As for crashies's keybinds, he swapped default walking and crouching binds, as well as his Ability 1 and Ability 2 binds. One thing that is really worth noting is that such changes are actually becoming more and more common on the pro scene, although it's not a standard yet.

Next up, we have crashies' radar settings that we also recommend trying out, as these seem super optimized to make the most out of the minimap feature. Radar settings are that one part of the setup that players tend to neglect, and that can literally lead to game losses. Optimizing your radar settings will help you make more informed decisions and improve your reaction time, resulting in better overall performance.
