VALORANT
5v5 shooter where first-bullet precision, low DPI and light mice win duels — data from 660 professionals.
Overview
View all playersOne in three VALORANT pros already runs 1600 DPI — a setting most of the CS world would call insane. That is the point: VALORANT's aim culture is its own thing, and 660 tracked professionals say so. Mice, DPI, eDPI, sensitivity and resolutions, in real distributions, straight from the ProAiming database.
Headshots, but different ones
VALORANT is Riot Games' 5v5 tactical hero shooter: spike rounds like Counter-Strike, but every player also carries abilities. One-tap headshots still decide duels — which is why the field runs low eDPI, median 230 — yet the ability-heavy pace is pulling DPI the other way. Of the 656 pros with a DPI record, 52% run 800 and 32% have already moved to 1600 with a lower in-game sensitivity doing the same work. Same physics, opposite migration from CS2. The 139 mouse models below are what that culture settles on.
The pro circuit in brief
VALORANT esports is league-owned: four franchised international leagues (Americas, EMEA, Pacific, China) run a Kickoff → two Masters → Champions year, and 2026 is the final season of that franchised model before Riot opens qualification again from 2027. The 2026 season ends at Champions in Shanghai. As of September 2026, the year's two Masters stopped in Santiago and London.
Pro settings distribution
DPI
VALORANT's field moved to high-DPI + low in-game sens years ago — a world away from CS2's 400/800 culture.
eDPI
Low sensitivity is still the norm here: half the field sits inside a narrow 184–280 eDPI band.
