Your mouse's sensitivity and dots per inch (DPI) are two of the most important settings in VALORANT.

Precision is important in VALORANT. If your sensitivity is too high, you’ll struggle to accurately lock onto your opponents’ heads. If it’s too low, reacting to a shot, a flank, or a flash can be just as demanding.

Finding the right balance with your sensitivity is essential to improving your mechanics, so here are the best sensitivity settings and DPI for VALORANT.

I recommend using 800 DPI for VALORANT. It’s not too fast and not too slow. For tactical shooters, the best players (the ones competing for thousands of dollars in cash prizes) typically use lower DPIs like 400, 800, and in some cases 1600.
