18 M here new to pc and looking to try out Valorant with some people, would be nice if there is someone who is on consistently as I need new friends because I’ve moved to pc and left all my console friends.

Thank you, this’ll help a lot

Don't forget to turn off mouse acceleration in windows by default!

Go to the search menu, type "Mouse" open mouse settings. Scroll down to Additional Mouse Options, open that. Then click on the "Pointer Options" tab and uncheck "Enhance Pointer Precision". Click Apply, and Ok!

Mouse acceleration makes it so the speed of your mouse movement will increase cursor distance. So with it on if you move 1inch to the right, your mouse will move further the faster you move. When you turn it off, when you move 1 inch to the right, your cursor will always travel the same distance regardless of speed. It's better to have it off, in my opinion, because it creates consistent mouse movement.

Also, as a Dev on the Valorant team, Welcome! I remember my first PC! I left COD eSports and my first few games were Unreal Tournament and Starcraft. I really didn't dive in deep until World of Warcraft, but once you start you can't stop! Hope you enjoy Valorant!

Doesn't "enhance pointer precision" not affect valorant since it uses the raw input of the mouse? Or do u mean to turn it off to get a consistent experience across windows and valorant for muscle memory?

I don't know if Valorant gets around it or not. I don't know how that works, I just turn it off so if you play any game at all it's turned off. There is a big debate in the aim community how much muscle memory really is a thing, because you have people like TenZ who change their sensitivity weekly or daily.

So yea, not sure tbh. I would just turn it off to be safe.
