The Ultimate Guide to Valorant Sensitivity — What Pro Players Use and Why

[PLACEHOLDER] Write 2–3 paragraphs explaining what in-game sensitivity means in Valorant — how the number relates to how fast the camera moves when you move the mouse. Mention the default sensitivity range (0.1 to 10) and what range most players use.

[PLACEHOLDER] Explain the relationship between DPI and in-game sensitivity. Cover why a high DPI + low sens gives the same result as a low DPI + high sens when the eDPI is equal.

[PLACEHOLDER] Define eDPI (effective DPI = in-game sensitivity × DPI). Explain why it's the best way to compare sensitivities across players. Give an example: Player A uses 400 DPI × 0.8 sens = 320 eDPI. Player B uses 800 DPI × 0.4 sens = 320 eDPI. Same effective speed.

[PLACEHOLDER] Discuss the typical eDPI ranges: low (below 250), medium (250–400), high (above 400). Include a table showing where most Valorant pros fall.

[PLACEHOLDER] Explain what cm/360° means — the physical distance your mouse needs to travel to rotate the camera a full 360°. Explain the formula: cm/360 = 2.54 / (DPI × sens × yaw_constant).

[PLACEHOLDER] Valorant's yaw is 0.07°/count. Provide a worked example. Discuss the typical range for Valorant pros (usually 30–60 cm/360°).

[PLACEHOLDER] Write a detailed breakdown of 5–10 current pro Valorant players and their sensitivity settings. Include their DPI, in-game sensitivity, eDPI, and cm/360°. Discuss why each player uses their particular setting (e.g., aiming style, role).

[PLACEHOLDER] Discuss trends — do most Valorant pros use lower sensitivities than CS2 pros? Is there a "correct" eDPI for duelists vs sentinels?

[PLACEHOLDER] Explain the conversion process step-by-step. Use the CS2 to Valorant conversion as the primary example (multiply by ~3.18). Walk through a real example: if your CS2 sens is 2.0, your Valorant equivalent is approximately 0.629.

[PLACEHOLDER] Explain why direct number-matching (e.g., using 2.0 in both games) doesn't work — the yaw constants are different. Reinforce that the only accurate method is matching cm/360° or eDPI.

[PLACEHOLDER] Discuss common DPI choices (400, 800, 1600) and the pros/cons of each. Explain that the choice is largely personal preference and habit, as long as eDPI stays the same. Mention polling rate considerations.

[PLACEHOLDER] Give a step-by-step framework: Start with a benchmark eDPI (e.g., 280), practice for one week, adjust up or down by 10% increments, repeat. Include tips on using Valorant's practice range and tools like KovaaK's or Aimlabs.

[PLACEHOLDER] Advise readers to use the cm/360° value when switching games so they don't break their muscle memory.

[PLACEHOLDER] Summarize the key takeaways: eDPI is the single most important number, cm/360° ensures game-to-game consistency, and pros typically cluster around 280–380 eDPI. Link readers back to the converter tool.
