i have been using a 5 dollar mouse from amazon ever since I started playing val (it was my first multiplayer fps). i am silver 3 currently and I have noticed recently I keep losing to my friends in custom deathmatches(they have way better hardware than me) so I guess my question is would getting a better mouse help me break into gold or plat? or does the mouse don't really matter much? if so what mouse do you recommend(reasonably priced ofc).

Subreezy [#3]having better hardware doesn’t automatically make you a better player but it does help you climb the ranks slightly easier
i dont know if this is a cheap mouse problem but I have my cross hair on them and somehow always die first, is it because of high latency or something? i do well in almost every match, its just that I lose in deathmatch, my friends are mostly higher ranked than me. but I sometimes feel , I am losing duels I shouldn't have.

could be ping related, could be refresh rate related, i’d recommend playing some aim labs before you play comp for the day and see if that’s true. i was hardstuck plat 2 until i started doing aim labs and trying to improve my aim, and now i’m ascendant 1

do you recommend any specific aimlab exercises?
enri [#16]Buy razer viper mini if you have small hands
And better cloth mousepad too
does a better mousepad change much? its the first time someone has told me to get a better mousepad too

Yeah it does. A mouse pad helps the mouse scan movement better so you’re gonna have smoother motion. If your computer hardware isn’t the best I’d just for like a $30/$40 logitech or razer mouse. I recommend the g305. Valorant was my first pc game ever and I’ve played about 275 hrs of comp since beta and used the g305 until i hit plat but recently been using the viper ultralight and hit diamond. But the g305 is light-ish and a good price. Also good response rate. If your pc hardware is good, then I’d probably go for something more expensive if you’re serious about improving. I like the viper ultra-light 2.0 but a lot of people prefer the logitech pro. But if you’re not trying to sweat there’s no need to spend much more than forty bucks on a mouse. But definitely a mousepad.

It really sucks ,better mouse pad better glid
Kimchii [#15]do you recommend any specific aimlab exercises?
sixshot (under flicking) and reactive track (under tracking). both are incredibly good for building good fundamentals.
unironicKEKVV [#4]tenz finalmouse nothing ever comes close...ps if u dont use it u will always be stuck in silver 3
Overrated trash
I use a really bad 4$ mouse and I'm diamond 2. my mouse ghosts a lot and I usually play entry so I have to do 180s which is nearly impossible with my mouse and the only solution I found for this is increase ur sens to be super high like .5 or smthng or just get a new mouse altogether, I'd tell u to just not think about ur hardware much and play the game to improve ur fundamentals rather than worry about ur mechanical skill but if u have the funds to get like a good mouse then go for it

I had a mouse that did that and what helped for me was to crank the dpi as low as possible and just have a higher ingame sens
Danny [#30]I had a mouse that did that and what helped for me was to crank the dpi as low as possible and just have a higher ingame sens
the thing is my mouse has a locked dpi, so my only go is to increase my ingame sens. Right now its like .44 or smthng and my dpi is locked at 1000 so yeah, it ghosts a shit load but it is what it is, ill eventually get a better mouse so all good

I’m pretty sure you can go into your settings and change dpi manually
