VALORANT input lab

A test-first VALORANT setup hub for mouse distance, browser-observed DPI, clean keybinds and controller hardware checks.

Mouse baselineDPI + in-game sensitivityRecord both; eDPI is meaningful inside the same game, not across unrelated scales.
Transfer anchorcm/360 hip-fireUse a physical distance as the auditable conversion reference.
ValidationRange + micro-correctionConfirm one full-turn measurement and small target corrections in the practice environment.

Build a sensitivity record you can reproduce

Start with the exact DPI reported by your mouse software, the in-game sensitivity and whether operating-system acceleration or vendor angle snapping is active. The Keymap result is a calculation record, not permission to skip the in-game check.

When moving from another supported FPS, preserve hip-fire angular distance first. Scoped and ability-specific behavior belongs in a separate test because field of view and zoom processing can change perceived speed.

Repeatable checklist

  • Run the DPI distance sample three times
  • Convert hip-fire sensitivity with the exact source value
  • Verify a measured 360-degree turn in game

Treat keybinds as a conflict graph

A duplicate is not automatically wrong: one key can be safe in two mutually exclusive contexts. The conflict checker therefore separates global, combat and menu contexts.

High-frequency actions should be reachable without collapsing movement. Record the actual action names and test the cluster in the keyboard lab; a visually elegant layout that loses a movement key is not a good layout.

Repeatable checklist

  • Enter combat bindings
  • Resolve same-context duplicates
  • Run the final movement-plus-ability cluster
Game-specific boundary: Keymap does not publish “best pro settings.” A copied value can hide differences in DPI, grip, display, role and training history.
Do not lose the baseline

One change. Same test. Clearer answer.

Keep the device, connection, platform, game build and previous setting beside every result.
