apEX CS2 Mouse Settings

Ultimately as an older player, apEX doesn’t want to rely on swift reflexes and quick flicks to find success. In this day and age of incredible aimers, it’s not a recipe to win. However, apEX’s CS2 mouse settings ensure he has a low eDPI of 764, so he’s able to use his experience to win with great crosshair placement.
