Best Valorant Mouse DPI and Sensitivity Settings Guide

 


Valorant 2020 mouse sensitivity and DPI settings

Sensitivity and DPI settings of the Valorant mouse are crucial to improve your aiming and performance on the Valorant. In this guide we will explain how to make your settings correct.

Having strong aim is crucial in an FPS like Valorant, where a bullet to the head can mean instant death. For those not used to sheer lethality in shooting, it can be a jarring, often disconcerting experience to try to improve. Where do you start

And this is really, a lot of gamers aren't aware of the little things they're doing with their mouse, or the settings they're running, which could make accuracy difficult. So in this guide we will provide you with some simple tips to help you get your mouse DPI and sensitivity settings down to zero in Valorant.


Turn off mouse acceleration

So this is one of the first things to do if you want to start the "goal improvement" journey. Why is mouse acceleration a problem? Simply put, it's the way Windows tries to help you. Automatically tries to increase the precision of your cursor as you move your mouse. This is all very well in everyday navigation, but when you need maximum precision, it is a calamitous and invisible obstacle.

Disable it and it means that Windows will no longer manipulate your cursor, so all mouse movements will be completely yours and yours alone. Although it's barely noticeable at first, turning it off allows you to build muscle memory for mouse movements and wrist movements, plus you won't have to worry about extraneous discomfort. You can be sure by performing the same mouse sweep over and over again that it will produce the same result.

Here's how to disable it:

  • Type "mouse settings" in the Windows search bar.
  • Select "Change mouse settings".
  • Click on "Additional Mouse Options".
  • Select the "Pointer Options" tab.
  • Uncheck the "Improve pointer precision" box.
  • Click "Apply" in the lower right corner.
  • Click on "Ok".

How to find the best DPI setting for you

If you really want to get serious about your aim at Valorant (and any other FPS, by the way), a gaming mouse is worth investing in. Although it involves parting ways with your hard-earned cash, it will ultimately open up a world of new-found precision. The difference between a standard bog mouse and a gaming mouse is huge, and the first time we bought one for CS: GO it gave us the tools to climb the ladder in a matter of days.

You also don't need to spend outrageous sums of money. We recommend opting for well-known brands like Logitech, Zowie, Steelseries, and Razer (among many others) that produce great mice at a reasonable price. Buying cheaper and unknown models is likely to be disappointing as their sensors are not particularly accurate and will likely disappoint you after a few months.

Rocket Jump Ninja video, a great place to start if you 're not sure how to pick a new mouse. And he really, really knows what he's doing.

So, once you've set up a gaming mouse and configured it, you'll need to adjust the DPI settings. Usually this can be done via a physical button on the mouse or via the official software of the chosen brand.

Below you will find a breakdown of the differences between low and high DPI settings and the advantages and disadvantages they bring.

Low DPI (400-800)

Set your mouse to a low DPI and it will mean that you will have to try harder with each cursor movement. It's less "wrist movement," and more, "arm sweep." At first, it will appear that you are dragging the cursor from left to right, up and down. Somehow totally unnatural and quite frustrating!

However, keep wide mouse movements and arm movements to build muscle memory. Eventually targeting will start to feel more careful, smooth, and considerate at a lower DPI. Just keep in mind that the burn in time can be quite long, but keep practicing and it will feel natural, you promise.

From personal experience with CS: GO we stuck to a DPI of around 400-450 and it really paid off. The quality of our lens soared after a long time in the training area.

High DPI (1000+)

Opt for a DPI of over 800 and you'll go from broad strokes to tiny wrist movements and very subtle mouse gestures.

An advantage of this is the ability to react faster and attack enemies without it being a huge physical effort. However, there is also more room for error, as excessive mouse movement can result in a wild jolt in cursor precision.

While some players will naturally continue with these higher DPI settings, reaching a very, very high level, we would say that they are better suited for MOBA or RTS games where map coverage supersedes the objective in importance.

What DPI Valorant settings should you choose?

This all comes down to personal preference. We recommend trying 400, 800, then something a little higher to see which one you feel more comfortable with. It is likely that one will immediately jump up to you, or someone will resonate with you but you need a little touch-up to perfect, this is a good sign. Just jump into your DPI settings and increase / decrease until you feel like it's perfect.

Once you've established a DPI setting, be sure to practice with it in as many situations as possible. Don't be discouraged if you miss shots, as with all the new stuff, it takes time and practice. The biggest reward will be the reward when your aim gradually improves and becomes much, much better than it was before.
