Note: These settings work for pros with thousands of hours of practice. Use as reference, but find what feels comfortable for YOUR setup and playstyle.
Understanding different sensitivity categories and their characteristics
Maximum precision, stable aim
Slow movement, large pad needed
Good balance of precision and speed
May feel slow for aggressive play
Quick flicks, good tracking
Less precise at long range
Fast 180s, wrist-friendly
Harder to control spray
Ultra-fast movement
Very hard to be consistent
Master your sensitivity and improve your aim
Don't let these sensitivity mistakes hold you back
Never building muscle memory or consistency
Commit to a sensitivity for at least 2 weeks of daily play before adjusting
Pros have different setup, playstyle, and thousands of hours adapted
Use pro settings as reference, but find what works for YOUR setup
Inconsistent muscle memory, unpredictable aim
Disable in Windows, Valorant, and mouse software completely
Non-standard Windows sens (not 6/11) affects Raw Input
Set Windows to 6/11 and disable "Enhance pointer precision"
Inconsistent aim due to poor ergonomics and fatigue
Sit upright, 90° elbow angle, monitor at eye level, forearm on pad
Limited movement range, can't check corners
Position keyboard at angle, center mouse to use entire pad surface
Everything you need to know about Valorant sensitivity
Effective DPI (eDPI) is the most important metric for understanding and comparing Valorant sensitivity settings. It combines your mouse DPI with your in-game sensitivity to give a single number representing your true sensitivity. Professional Valorant players typically use eDPI between 200-300, with the average around 240 eDPI, providing the precision needed for consistent headshots while maintaining adequate mobility.
Finding the perfect sensitivity requires understanding your playstyle and role. Duelists who entry frag often prefer slightly higher sensitivity (250-320 eDPI) for faster target acquisition and clearing multiple angles quickly. Sentinels and Controllers typically use lower sensitivity (220-280 eDPI) for holding angles with maximum precision. The key is consistency - most professionals rarely change their sensitivity, allowing thousands of hours to build perfect muscle memory.
The relationship between DPI and in-game sensitivity matters less than the final eDPI number. Whether you use 800 DPI with 0.35 sens or 400 DPI with 0.7 sens, both result in 280 eDPI and feel identical. However, 800 DPI is the industry standard used by over 80 percent of professional players, providing smooth cursor movement both in-game and on desktop. Modern gaming mice have flawless sensors at 800 DPI, making it the optimal choice for Valorant.
Proper setup extends beyond sensitivity numbers. Disable mouse acceleration in Windows and Valorant, keep Windows sensitivity at 6 out of 11 for raw input consistency, use 1000Hz polling rate, and enable Raw Input Buffer in Valorant settings. Your physical setup matters equally - use a large mousepad (minimum 40cm width), position your keyboard at an angle to maximize mouse space, keep your monitor at arm's length with the top third at eye level, and maintain 90-degree elbow angle when holding your mouse.
