Full config 3 parts
Download .cfgThe CS2 console can reject a pasted line longer than 510 characters, so the full config comes in parts: press ~ in CS2, paste part 1, press Enter, then do the same with the next part. Or download the .cfg, save it in Counter-Strike Global Offensive/game/csgo/cfg/ and run exec jw-2015 in the console.

How the date is known
A config.cfg written by JW's game, from setup.gg's archive. Its Operation Breakout reminder stores a timestamp of 9 Aug 2014, and it lacks snd_menumusic_volume and the other music-volume settings that came with the 10 Oct 2014 update, so it was saved between those dates.

How the date is known
From a RushB (rushb.net) article on JW's settings dated 30 Jul 2019, kept in a GitHub mirror. It gives 400 DPI at 1000 Hz with sensitivity 2.2, the same sensitivity as in the 2014 config.
- Resolution · 2016-12-13 · confidence low · github.com 1, 2
How the date is known
From setup.gg's profile for JW (data.yml), published on 13 Dec 2016. It still lists him at fnatic, which he left on 15 Aug 2016 (Liquipedia), so the values may be older.

DPI is only taken from a source that lists the same sensitivity, so the eDPI matches the sensitivity shown. The other parts can come from configs of different dates, as listed.
