steel Valorant Settings
steel's eDPI is 360. Enter your mouse DPI to get the sensitivity that matches exactly.
Technical Aim Analysis & Sensitivity Math for steel
steel is a professional Valorant player currently competing for undefined. To maintain peak mechanical aim and crosshair stability in VCT competitions, steel uses a Razer Viper V3 Pro Blackconfigured with a DPI setting of 800 and an in-game sensitivity of 0.45. This yields an Effective DPI (eDPI) of 360.
Physical Mouse Distance (360° Turn): At an eDPI of 360, executing a complete 360-degree in-game rotation requires approximately 85.3 cm (or 33.6 inches) of physical mousepad movement. This places steel's sensitivity in the High eDPI (Wrist Aiming) category, which optimizes micro-adjustments for long-range engagements while retaining enough speed to check corners.
Beyond sensitivity math, steel 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 steel.

steel gear breakdown: what each piece actually changes
Mouse: Razer Viper V3 Pro 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 0.45 means the in-game multiplier does the fine work while the sensor stays in its clean tracking range.
Display: ZOWIE XL2546K 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: Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL Black for movement keys, Razer Gigantus V2 under the mouse, and Razer BlackShark V2 Pro White 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 (360), not the brand names.
steel vs other pros: same game, different mousepad math
steel at 360 eDPI is 80 points above the pro average (280). As a high-sensitivity wrist aimer, steel needs roughly 8.5 cm per 360° turn — plan mousepad space around that number, not around anyone else's brand of mouse.
| Player | Team | DPI | Sens | eDPI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| steel (you are here) | undefined | 800 | 0.45 | 360 |
| 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 steel'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 steel's turn-distance exactly.
- Keep your old crosshair for one session if steel'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.
