If you're someone who has shaky aim or plays on a high sens that struggles with making micro adjustments try this.

First let me be clear. You need a mouse that can achieve higher dpi's (2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, etc)

I get a bit shaky sometimes and I experimented with increasing the mouse DPI while keeping my eDPI (true sensitivity) the same or within a +- 1-2 points eDPI.

Step 1: Locate where you can change your mouse DPI (in my case I use Razer Synapse as I use a Razer Viper Ultimate)

Step 2: go on https://gamingsmart.com/valorant-edpi-calculator/ and enter your current dpi and in game sensitivity on valorant

Step 3: Open a few tabs of the said link above and do calculations for a few measures (Try out different DPIs by 500 (1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000, 3500, etc). Change the in game sens in the calculator to match your original eDPI

Step 4: Try them out on Valorant

Decide what's best for you.

Here's my experience. I used to play on 1100 DPI and an eDPI of 385 (1100 dpi + 0.35 in game sens). My aim was always decent being a long time fps gamer but I was sometimes shaky - not shaking all over the place but micro adjustments bothered me, it always felt like if I didn't flick perfectly to a head, I would struggle to win fights.

So I tried this out on a whim after a youtube video showed the difference between low and high dpi (link)

Didn't think it would make much of a difference, after all, how can these really small differences do much at all?

Well... It was a big change.

I've been playing on it for about two weeks now and I feel like my aim is much smoother, micro adjustments are a lot easier, and overall just better. Even if I've had a ton of coffee or feel fatigued, the micro shaking my hands do aren't that bothersome anymore.

Currently I play at 4000 DPI and 0.095 in game sensitivity.

DOWNSIDES: For some, high DPIs like 3000 and above are way too smooth. If so, try 2500 and below. 800 vs 1500 didn't feel much different but 800 vs 2000 is where I started to feel it get smoother.

Another downside is the increments in which you adjust your in game sens by is magnified. AFAIK Valorant only allows you to go up to 3 decimal values. Right now, the change between 0.095 vs 0.096 for me is very noticeable. To get in between those values I would have to adjust my mouse DPI instead.

In closing. Try it out, it might help you because it certainly helped me. Just take note of your original settings and all should be fine!

One more benefit that I found but I can't really verify by feel is supposedly there's a big difference between input lag (on small movements) on a low DPI like 800 vs 3500+. This video illustrates that in depth. If you're a min maxer like me then you'll feel even better about it but I never really felt an input lag difference lol.
