Pro gear changes
Pros swap gear constantly — a lighter mouse, a faster pad, a new monitor. We automatically re-check 107 pro and streamer setups every day and log every change here: who switched, what they moved to, and when. It's the one thing the settings sites don't publish — not just current gear, but the moment it changes.

- iiTzTimmy2026-09-01
- + ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM · Review →
- − Sony INZONE M10S
The monitor finally follows the rest: he moved to the ROG Harpe Ace Extreme and the ROG Azoth on 08-11, and the Sony was the last piece holding out. Both are 27-inch 1440p OLEDs at 0.03 ms, so this is a refresh-rate trade rather than a panel upgrade — the Sony runs 480 Hz to the ASUS's 240.
- Peterbot2026-09-01
- + Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike · Review →
- − Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Black
Falcons' Peterbot leaves the Superlight 2 for Logitech's inductive-switch flagship. Note the trade he is accepting: the Superstrike is 60.8 g against the Superlight 2's 60, but its rapid-trigger clicks have tripped false anti-cheat bans in other titles and its click latency has no lab figure yet.
- Peterbot2026-09-01
- + SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL Gen 3 Black · Review →
- − SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL
Three generations in one step, from the 2020 OmniPoint board to the OmniPoint 3.0 Gen 3. He is the first player on our roster actually running the Gen 3 TKL.
- pollo2026-09-01
- + Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike · Review →
- − Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Black
The second Falcons Fortnite player onto the Superstrike, the same day and off the same mouse as Peterbot — prosettings edited both pages within a minute of each other.
- Dizzy2026-09-01
- + Lamzu Inca Black
- − Pulsar X2N Crazylight Medium
Off Pulsar's ultralight X2N and onto the Lamzu Inca, joining Spoit as the second name on our roster running it.
- Albralelie2026-09-01
- + WALLHACK SP-005 · Review →
- − Artisan FX Hien Soft Black
About as far as a surface change goes: Artisan's soft cloth Hien for WALLHACK's micro-etched glass SP-005. Control to speed, with nothing in between.
- MrSavage2026-09-01
- + Arcaloot Crimson Shadow
- − Custom Mousepad
The reverse of the usual placeholder story — prosettings had only an unnamed custom pad on file and now names one, so this is a gap closing rather than a pad going anonymous.
- sh1ro2026-08-29
- + Wooting 80HE Frost · Review →
- − Logitech G Pro X TKL RAPID White
Team Spirit's AWPer follows donk onto the 80HE Frost, off Logitech's rapid-trigger TKL. Two of the roster's three Frost users are now Team Spirit; the third is Mande, over in Apex.
- sh1ro2026-08-24
- + Sennheiser IE 200
- − Bose QuietComfort 20
Under the headset, a decade-old noise-cancelling Bose out for a current Sennheiser monitor. The pairing itself is the LAN norm: the IEM carries the audio, the Cloud II over the top blocks the crowd.
- electroNic2026-08-22
- + Xtrfy K4 TKL RGB White
- + SteelSeries QcK Heavy · Review →
- + Panasonic RP-HJE125E White
- − Logitech G Pro X TKL Black
- − SteelSeries QcK Performance Speed
- − Sony MDR-EX15AP
Three swaps in one day, all of them backwards: the G Pro X TKL out for a 2020 Xtrfy K4 TKL that Cherry no longer sells, the QcK Performance Speed for the plain QcK Heavy, and a pair of budget Panasonic earphones under the headset. He kept the current Pulsar Xlite V4 Es, so this is a re-source of an old setup rather than a rebuild.
- Spinx2026-08-20
- + Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro Black · Review →
- − Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro Black
Two weeks after picking up the DeathAdder V4 Pro, Spinx is back on the V3 Pro — the older, 63 g flagship he won on before. A reversal, not an upgrade.
- NiKo2026-08-18
- + 7Hz Timeless II
- − 7Hz Timeless
NiKo moved to the second-generation 7Hz Timeless, the planar IEM he wears under the BlackShark — same 14.5 mm driver, retuned, with swappable nozzles.
- torzsi2026-08-13
- + Razer BlackShark V2
- − Razer BlackShark V3 Pro Black
torzsi went backwards on paper and forwards in practice: off the wireless BlackShark V3 Pro and onto the older wired V2, the LAN norm, with a Hammerhead Duo underneath it.
- iiTzTimmy2026-08-11
- + ASUS ROG Harpe Ace Extreme
- − Sony INZONE Mouse-A
iiTzTimmy rebuilt his desk around ASUS: the Sony INZONE Mouse-A is out for the ROG Harpe Ace Extreme, the carbon-fibre flagship of the Harpe line.
- iiTzTimmy2026-08-11
- + ASUS ROG Azoth
- − Higround Performance Base 65
The Higround Base 65 gives way to the ROG Azoth — ASUS's 75% gasket-mount hot-swap board, a comfort-and-sound pick rather than a rapid-trigger one.
- iiTzTimmy2026-08-11
- + Artisan Ninja FX Zero Soft Black · Review →
- − Higround Performance Mousepad
His third swap in one day: off the Higround pad and onto the Artisan Ninja FX Zero in the Soft base, the control cloth that keeps turning up under Apex and Valorant pros.
- Zekken2026-08-11
- + Artisan Ninja FX Zero Soft Black · Review →
- − Artisan Type-99 Gray
Zekken stayed with Artisan but moved from the Type-99 to the Ninja FX Zero — the same maker's softer, higher-stopping-power cloth.
- Spoit2026-08-11
- + Lamzu Inca Black
- − ZOWIE ZA13-DW Black
Spoit left ZOWIE's small ZA13-DW for the Lamzu Inca — a jump from a classic ergonomic shell to a modern lightweight one.
- Beaulo2026-08-11
- + Custom Mousepad
- − Artisan Type-99 Matcha
The Artisan Type-99 Matcha is gone, replaced on his setup page by an unnamed custom pad — so there's no product to point at.
- device2026-08-10
- + Logitech G Pro X TKL RAPID Magenta · Review →
- − Wooting 60HE v2
device left Wooting's 60% analog board for Logitech's TKL rapid-trigger keyboard — a switch of maker and of layout, from 60% to tenkeyless.
- device2026-08-10
- + Artisan Ninja FX Zero Soft Black · Review →
- − ZOWIE G-TR
His pad moved from ZOWIE's G-TR to Artisan's Ninja FX Zero in the Soft base — a slower, higher-stopping-power cloth than the G-TR he'd been on.
- Pengu2026-08-06
- + Pulsar X2 CrazyLight
- − Lamzu Maya X White
Pengu dropped to one of the lightest mice in the pro scene — Pulsar's ~35 g X2 CrazyLight, roughly 15 g under the Lamzu Maya X it replaces.
- jL2026-08-05
- + ZOWIE XL2586X+
- − ASUS ROG Swift PG27AQWP-W
jL swapped ASUS's 27" OLED for ZOWIE's 540 Hz XL2586X+ — trading OLED response for the highest refresh rate on the CS2 circuit.
- frozen2026-08-05
- + SteelSeries Arctis Nova Elite Sage Gold
- − HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless
frozen is the second FaZe player onto the Arctis Nova Elite after Twistzz, off the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless he'd been running.
- summit1g2026-08-04
- + ZOWIE EC1-DW Black
- − ZOWIE EC2-DW Black
summit1g moved up a shell size inside ZOWIE's wireless EC line — same 4K-polling PAW3950 mouse, the large EC1 body instead of the medium EC2.
- Ninja2026-08-04
- + ASUS ROG Swift PG27AQN
- − Alienware AW2518H
Ninja retired the 240 Hz Alienware AW2518H he'd run for years for ASUS's 360 Hz ROG Swift PG27AQN — the biggest single jump in his setup.
- Ninja2026-08-04
- + Custom Keyboard
- − SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL
Off the SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL and onto an unnamed custom build — prosettings lists no model, so there's nothing to point at.
- Ninja2026-08-04
- + Shure SM7B
- − Electro-Voice RE20
A broadcast-mic swap: out goes the Electro-Voice RE20, in comes the Shure SM7B — the streaming standard, and still hungry enough to want a preamp behind it.
- Spinx2026-08-04
- + Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro Black · Review →
- − Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro White
MOUZ's Spinx stayed in the DeathAdder line and took the generational step up to the V4 Pro.
- Spinx2026-08-04
- + Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL 8KHz Black · Review →
- − Razer Prototype Keyboard (Unreleased)
The unreleased Razer prototype he'd been testing is gone, replaced by the retail Huntsman V3 Pro TKL — analog-optical with 8K polling.
- Spinx2026-08-04
- + Razer BlackShark V2
- − Razer BlackShark V3 Pro White
A rare step BACKWARDS through a product line: off the wireless BlackShark V3 Pro and onto the original wired V2. Wired is the LAN norm, and he pairs it with a Razer Moray IEM underneath.
- ZywOo2026-07-31
- + ASUS ROG Pelta
- − SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro
Vitality's star moved off the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro onto ASUS's ROG Pelta — a far cheaper wireless set. He's also listing an unreleased pair of AceZone earphones alongside it.
- Wardell2026-07-31
- + Pulsar X3 Black
- − Razer Viper V4 Pro Black
Wardell swapped Razer's Viper V4 Pro for the Pulsar X3 — a 55 g hybrid shape with a symmetrical click front and an asymmetrical, palm-friendly hump.
- Wardell2026-07-31
- + Pulsar eS Saturn Pro Black
- − Artisan Ninja FX Zero Soft Black
The same day he changed mouse, Wardell also left the Artisan Ninja FX Zero for the Pulsar eS Saturn Pro — a control cloth pad, and the rebranded version of the Lethal Gaming Gear design Pulsar acquired.
- Chronicle2026-07-31
- + Pulsar Meiy Glass
- − Artisan Hayate Otsu V2 Soft Black
Fnatic's Chronicle jumped from a control cloth pad to glass — the Meiy signature Pulsar pad, whose oversized corner radius is meant to keep the forearm off the edge.
- Twistzz2026-07-31
- + SteelSeries Arctis Nova Elite Sage Gold
- − SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless
Twistzz stayed inside SteelSeries' line but moved to the top of it — the $599 Arctis Nova Elite, with carbon-fibre drivers and the four-source GameHub base station.
- TaySon2026-07-29
- + ZOWIE XQ2566X
- − Alienware AW2523HF
TaySon is an early adopter of ZOWIE's new XQ line — a 24.1" 1440p Fast TN running 360 Hz with DyAc 3, aimed squarely at battle royale. He's still playing at 1920x1080, so the move buys motion clarity rather than resolution.
- m0NESY2026-07-28
- + Logitech G Pro X3
- − Logitech G Pro X 2
Falcons' AWPer is on the G Pro X3 — the third generation of Logitech's esports headset, unreleased at the time of writing, so there's no retail listing yet. His keyboard is a pre-release G Pro X2 RAPID too.
- jL2026-07-28
- + Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro White · Review →
- − Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike
NAVI's jL is back on the DeathAdder V4 Pro after a spell on Logitech's G Pro X2 Superstrike — a return to the ergonomic Razer shape rather than a first move onto it.
- donk2026-07-24
- + HyperX Cloud III Black
- − HyperX Cloud II
Team Spirit's donk moved off the HyperX Cloud II onto the Cloud III — the updated 53 mm driver closed-back, staying inside HyperX's own line.
- Zekken2026-07-21
- + Razer Viper V4 Pro Black · Review →
- − Razer Viper V3 Pro Sentinels Edition
Sentinels' Zekken moved off his Viper V3 Pro (Sentinels Edition) onto Razer's Viper V4 Pro — the Focus Pro 50K sensor, 8K polling and a lighter shell.
- frozen2026-07-21
- + Wooting 80HE Black · Review →
- − Corsair MAKR Pro 75
frozen moved back to the Wooting 80HE after a short stint on Corsair's MAKR Pro 75 — returning to Wooting's full-size Lekker analog board four days after the swap.
- Sweet2026-07-21
- + WLMouse BEAST X Black
- − Finalmouse Ultralight X Medium
Apex's Sweet swapped the Finalmouse Ultralight X for WLMouse's BEAST X — a magnesium-alloy, 8K-polling ultralight.
- frozen2026-07-17
- + Corsair MAKR Pro 75
- − Wooting 80HE Black
FaZe's frozen moved off the Wooting 80HE onto Corsair's MAKR Pro 75 — a 75% magnetic-switch board with rapid trigger, so he keeps the analog actuation in a smaller footprint.
- summit1g2026-07-15
- + ZOWIE EC2-DW Black
- + Kurosun Samurai
- − Razer Viper V3 Pro Faker Edition
- − Corsair MM500
A full aim-surface change: summit1g swapped the lightweight Viper V3 Pro for ZOWIE's larger ergonomic EC2-DW, and the MM500 for a Kurosun Samurai pad.
- aspas2026-07-14
- + SteelSeries QcK Large Black
- − VAXEE PA Black
MIBR's star duelist dropped the VAXEE PA for the QcK Large — trading a control-leaning cloth for SteelSeries' long-standing all-rounder.
- Clix2026-07-14
- + DR3AMIN Ivory
- − Matrix x Clix XXL
Clix retired his own signature XXL pad for a DR3AMIN Ivory.
- aceu2026-07-14
- + Finalmouse Ultralight X Medium
- + Artisan Raiden FX Mid · Review →
- + ASUS ROG Swift XG27AQM
- − Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2
- − Artisan Ninja FX Zero Soft
- − ASUS ROG PG27AQN
aceu rebuilt the whole aim chain at once — off the Superlight 2 onto a Finalmouse Ultralight X, Ninja FX to the faster Raiden FX, and a new ASUS XG27AQM panel.
- m0NESY2026-07-13
- + Logitech G Pro X2 RAPID White
- − Logitech G Pro X TKL RAPID White
m0NESY is running the G Pro X2 RAPID — Logitech's next rapid-trigger board, still unreleased at the time of writing, so there's no retail listing yet.
- m0NESY2026-07-07
- + Logitech G Pro X 2
- − Logitech G Pro X
Falcons' AWPer swapped his original Logitech G Pro X headset for the wireless G Pro X 2 (graphene 50 mm drivers, Blue VO!CE mic) — staying inside Logitech's own audio line.
- torzsi2026-06-30
- + Razer Gigantus V2 Pro Control
- − Razer Gigantus V2 Pro (prototype)
MOUZ's AWPer moved onto the retail Gigantus V2 Pro Control after running Razer's unreleased prototype pad — a stitched-edge, GlideCore-foam control surface.
- Zellsis2026-06-27
- + Razer Viper V4 Pro Black · Review →
- − Razer Viper V3 Pro Green
Cloud9's Zellsis upgraded to Razer's new Viper V4 Pro (Focus Pro 50K sensor, 8K polling, 49 g) from the Viper V3 Pro.
