Methodology & Precision Model

Calculated using Riot Games verified yaw multiplier: 0.07 degrees per pulse. Exactly 3.1818× faster than Source engine at the same numerical value.

* Measured with raw input without operating system acceleration.

2. VALORANT Mouse Input Architecture

VALORANT features built-in raw mouse input by default. Riot Games calibrated the sensitivity slider such that a setting of 1.0 rotates the camera by exactly 0.07 degrees per hardware count.

Input Mechanics

Because Valorant uses a higher base yaw multiplier (0.07° vs CS2 0.022°), numerical sensitivity values in Valorant are substantially lower than in Counter-Strike for equivalent 360° turn distances.

3. Valorant eDPI & Sensitivity Formula

In VALORANT, your effective sensitivity (eDPI) represents the true product of your hardware optical sensor resolution and in-game sensitivity slider:

Valorant eDPI = Mouse Hardware DPI × In-Game Sensitivity

For example, 800 DPI × 0.35 Sensitivity = 280 eDPI.

4. Physical 360° Turn Distance

Physical turn distance (measured in cm/360 or inches/360) is the ultimate metric for muscle memory synchronization. It calculates the exact mousepad width required to complete a full 360-degree rotation.

cm/360 = [ 360° ÷ (DPI × Sensitivity × 0.07) ] × 2.54
