Shanks Valorant Settings
Shanks's eDPI is 176. Enter your mouse DPI to get the sensitivity that matches exactly.
Technical Aim Analysis & Sensitivity Math for Shanks
Shanks is a professional Valorant player currently competing for G2 Esports. To maintain peak mechanical aim and crosshair stability in VCT competitions, Shanks uses a Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Dex Blackconfigured with a DPI setting of 800 and an in-game sensitivity of 0.22. This yields an Effective DPI (eDPI) of 176.
Physical Mouse Distance (360° Turn): At an eDPI of 176, executing a complete 360-degree in-game rotation requires approximately 174.4 cm (or 68.7 inches) of physical mousepad movement. This places Shanks's sensitivity in the Low eDPI (Arm Aiming) category, which optimizes micro-adjustments for long-range engagements while retaining enough speed to check corners.
Beyond sensitivity math, Shanks pairs their mouse with a 1000Hz display refresh rate and a resolution of 1920x1080 to minimize input latency. Below is the full breakdown of gear, including monitor refresh rate, keyboard switches, and official crosshair import code used by Shanks.

Shanks gear breakdown: what each piece actually changes
Mouse: Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Dex Black at 1000Hz polling. At 1000Hz the mouse reports every 1ms, which is the competitive baseline — stable on any modern CPU with Raw Input Buffer enabled. DPI 800 with sens 0.22 means the in-game multiplier does the fine work while the sensor stays in its clean tracking range.
Display: ASUS PG248QP at 1920x1080. Lower resolutions like 1280x960 stretch targets wider and can make heads feel easier to hit, at the cost of peripheral clarity; native 1920x1080 keeps UI and minimap sharpest. Pair this with multithreaded rendering on, V-Sync off, and NVIDIA Reflex on+boost if available — frame latency matters more than texture detail for holding angles.
Supporting gear: Wooting 80HE Black for movement keys, SteelSeries QcK Heavy Black under the mouse, and HyperX Cloud III Wireless for footsteps, none of which change eDPI, but all of which change consistency: a familiar pad glide and audible footsteps cut down unforced errors more than any sens tweak. If you copy one thing, copy the eDPI (176), not the brand names.
Shanks crosshair explained: Cyan no center dot, inner lines (length 4, offset 1), outer lines on, outlines off
Import code: 0;p;0;c;1;s;1;P;c;5;h;0;f;0;m;1;0l;4;0o;1;0a;0.317;0f;0;1l;3;1o;1;1a;0.616;1m;0;1f;0;A;c;4;o;0.515;m;1;0t;1;0l;3;0o;1;0a;1;0f;0;1b;0;S;c;1;o;1. In plain terms this is a Cyan no center dot, inner lines (length 4, offset 1), outer lines on, outlines off setup. Small inner-line crosshairs like this reward centered head-height placement — you see more of the target around the lines, which helps one-taps at range. The tradeoff is visibility on bright maps (Icebox snow, Breeze sand): if you lose the lines, switch the color to cyan or green rather than enlarging the gap, which would cost precision.
To try it: copy the code above, then in Valorant go to Settings → Crosshair → Import Profile Code, paste, and test in the Range against strafing bots before taking it into ranked. Full per-background preview lives on the crosshair preview page.
Shanks vs other pros: same game, different mousepad math
Shanks at 176 eDPI is 104 points below the pro average (280). As a low-sensitivity arm aimer, Shanks needs roughly 17.4 cm per 360° turn — plan mousepad space around that number, not around anyone else's brand of mouse.
| Player | Team | DPI | Sens | eDPI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shanks (you are here) | G2 Esports | 800 | 0.22 | 176 |
| TenZ | T1 | 1600 | 0.195 | 312 |
| aspas | MIBR | 100 | 0.4 | 320 |
| ZmjjKK | Edward Gaming | 800 | 0.395 | 316 |
Reading the table: lower eDPI favors calm angle-holding and spray control; higher eDPI favors entry swings and fast clears. None is "best" — pick the row whose turn-distance fits your desk, then use the converter at the top to match it on your own DPI.
How to copy Shanks's settings without ruining your aim
- Match eDPI first. Enter your DPI in the converter above and set the sens it gives you — that reproduces Shanks's turn-distance exactly.
- Keep your old crosshair for one session if Shanks's lines feel alien; change sens and crosshair on different days so you know which change helped.
- Set scoped sens to 1 only if you play the same scoped weapons; otherwise leave yours — scoped multipliers are personal.
- Give it 3–5 ranked games, then adjust in 5–10% steps. One bad deathmatch is not data.
