Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek is widely considered the king of FPS gaming. Whether he is dropping 30-bombs in Valorant, surviving brutal raids in Escape from Tarkov, or dominating the new Deadlock meta, his raw mechanical aim translates flawlessly across every game he touches.
Shroud currently uses his own branded Logitech G Pro X TKL keyboard and the Logitech G303 Shroud Edition wireless mouse. He plays on a consistently low sensitivity (400 DPI) across all games, relying on massive arm movements to snap to targets with robotic precision.
If you want to build a versatile setup that works for both tactical shooters and fast-paced battle royales, mimicking Shroud’s hardware and sensitivity philosophy is the best place to start. Here is the complete breakdown of Shroud’s gaming setup.
Shroud’s Gaming Keyboard
While many modern pros have transitioned to ultra-compact 60% keyboards to save desk space, Shroud prefers a slightly larger layout and relies heavily on custom keycaps for a unique typing feel.
- Keyboard: Logitech G Pro X TKL Wireless (Shroud Edition)
- Switches: GX Red (Linear)
- Layout: Tenkeyless (TKL)
Why he uses it: Shroud has partnered with Logitech to create his own line of peripherals. The G Pro X TKL uses Lightspeed 2.4GHz wireless technology, providing a flawless 1ms response time. The GX Red linear switches offer a smooth, predictable keystroke with no tactile bump, allowing him to rapidly double-tap keys in fast-paced games. The TKL layout removes the numpad, giving his mouse hand the massive desk space required for his low-sensitivity aiming. (Want to see the magnetic keyboards other pros are using?

Shroud’s Gaming Mouse & Sens
Shroud’s aim is famous for looking “robotic.” He achieves this by using a very low sensitivity, which smooths out the natural jitter of the human hand and allows for pixel-perfect micro-adjustments.
- Mouse: Logitech G303 Shroud Edition (Wireless)
- DPI: 400
- Valorant Sensitivity: 0.78
- CS2 Sensitivity: 2.4
- Apex Legends Sensitivity: 2.9
- Polling Rate: 1000Hz
- Windows Pointer Speed: 6/11 (Enhance Pointer Precision: OFF)
Why he uses it: The G303 Shroud Edition was custom-designed for his specific grip style (a relaxed claw grip). It is incredibly lightweight (75 grams), which is mandatory when playing on 400 DPI, as he has to constantly throw the mouse across his massive desk pad to execute 180-degree turns.
Shroud’s General Keybind Philosophy
Because Shroud plays so many different games, he keeps his core keybinds as standardized as possible to rely on muscle memory. However, he does make specific adjustments for complex games like Escape from Tarkov.

Shroud’s Tarkov Binds
Tarkov requires significantly more keys than a standard shooter. Shroud binds his most critical combat functions to his mouse to keep his fingers on the WASD keys.

Shroud’s Crosshair Settings
Shroud uses a large, highly visible crosshair. While many pros use tiny dots, Shroud prefers a thick, cyan crosshair that is impossible to lose track of during chaotic, visually cluttered team fights.
To use his exact Valorant crosshair, copy and paste this code into your profile settings:
