Crosshair new system

720p pixels, enlarged
cl_crosshairstyle 4; cl_crosshair_length 3; cl_crosshair_thickness 1; cl_crosshair_gap 3; cl_crosshairdot 1; cl_crosshair_t 0; cl_crosshair_drawoutline 0; cl_crosshair_recoil 0; cl_crosshaircolor_r 50; cl_crosshaircolor_g 250; cl_crosshaircolor_b 250; cl_crosshaircolor_a 200; cl_ironsight_usecrosshaircolor 0; cl_ironsight_dot_scale 1; cl_crosshair_screen_height 720
  • Not in this config because the setting didn't exist yet, so off: cl_crosshair_t, cl_crosshair_recoil.
  • Odd-width bars sit on a different centre pixel in the new game, so the crosshair may appear 1 px off.
  • Old thickness 0 still drew a thin line, so the export uses a positive thickness.

These are NBK's CS:GO settings from 2015, the year of the ranking (see where these settings come from). Converted to CS2's crosshair system since the Sept 22, 2026 update, authored at 720p, NBK's resolution; CS2 rescales it to your resolution.

Valve published no conversion formula. This uses a community reconstruction (small-indie-crosshair-company v0.19.1, model community-static-v11, CS2 build 2000922); for Static Cross at 1080p and 960p it agrees with the rule crosshairrestore.com measured from in-game screenshots (CS2 builds before Sept 30), and nothing else has been checked against captures.

The paste sets every setting that shapes this crosshair, including the iron-sight dot (CS2's defaults where their config has no value), so nothing from your current crosshair carries over.

Full config 3 parts

Download .cfg

The 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 nbk-2015 in the console.

Part 3 · HUD & other
cl_hud_color 3; hud_scaling 0.95; cl_prefer_lefthanded 1

Convars CS2 renamed are renamed, values outside CS2's range are set to the nearest one it accepts, and convars CS2 doesn't have or that are cheat-protected are left out (see Adapted for CS2 below).

Mouse & Sensitivity sensitivity

sensitivity 0.9; zoom_sensitivity_ratio 0.8; m_pitch 0.022; m_yaw 0.022

Their DPI isn't documented with this sensitivity. The matcher below assumes 800 DPI, from their setup.gg profile (2016-12-13, where they used sensitivity 1.55); change it if you know better.

Viewmodel viewmodel_*

viewmodel_fov 68; viewmodel_offset_x 2.5; viewmodel_offset_y 0; viewmodel_offset_z -1.5; viewmodel_presetpos 3

Radar cl_radar_*

cl_hud_radar_scale 1; cl_radar_scale 0.3; cl_radar_always_centered 1; cl_radar_rotate 1; cl_radar_icon_scale_min 0.6; cl_radar_square_with_scoreboard 1

HUD hud_*

cl_hud_color 3; hud_scaling 0.95

Performance & Other misc

cl_prefer_lefthanded 1

Misc convars (fps caps, gamma, gameplay toggles) captured from this player's config.

Adapted for CS2 8

Show what changed
  • cl_righthand 0 is cl_prefer_lefthanded 1 in CS2 (the value is inverted)
  • cl_hud_healthammo_style doesn't exist in CS2, left out
  • zoom_sensitivity_ratio_mouse is called zoom_sensitivity_ratio in CS2
  • m_rawinput doesn't exist in CS2, left out
  • m_customaccel doesn't exist in CS2, left out
  • m_mouseaccel1 doesn't exist in CS2, left out

  • m_mousespeed doesn't exist in CS2, left out

Video settings manual

Video settings
Resolution1280x720
Aspect Ratio16:9

CS2 doesn't allow these via console commands — set them in Settings → Video. For stretched scaling also configure your GPU driver panel.

Where these settings come from

No source lists a DPI with this sensitivity, so the DPI matcher's DPI is assumed (see above). The other parts can come from configs of different dates, as listed.
