Goaster settings

Goaster uses the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Black, a highly regarded mouse in the esports community for its ultra-lightweight design and exceptional responsiveness. The lightweight build allows for swift, precise movements, which is crucial in Valorant's fast-paced tactical engagements. The mouse’s reliable sensor and ergonomic shape also help reduce fatigue during long practice sessions or matches.

Goaster opts for the Wooting 60HE+, a keyboard known for its analog input capability and rapid actuation. This keyboard enables extremely fast key responses and customizable actuation points, giving Goaster an edge in movement control and reaction speed. Such features are particularly beneficial in competitive Valorant, where split-second decisions and smooth movement can determine the outcome of a round.

Goaster currently uses an 800 DPI with a sensitivity setting of 0.4, resulting in an eDPI of 320. This configuration strikes a balance between precise crosshair control and the ability to quickly adjust aim during high-intensity situations. Lower sensitivity values like these are favored by many top players for their contribution to consistent, accurate tracking and micro-adjustments during gunfights.

Goaster plays on the ZOWIE XL2746S, a monitor celebrated for its high refresh rate and minimal input lag. This display is specifically engineered for esports, offering a smooth visual experience that helps Goaster track enemies and react to in-game actions with minimal delay. The clarity and responsiveness of this monitor are essential for maintaining peak performance in competitive matches.

Goaster uses a 1920x1080 resolution with a 16:9 aspect ratio, displayed in fullscreen mode. This setup ensures a broad field of view and maximum compatibility with competitive standards. Full HD resolution provides sharp visuals without overburdening the system, while the 16:9 aspect ratio is favored for its balance of peripheral awareness and image clarity, both of which are critical for spotting opponents and navigating maps efficiently.

Goaster’s choice is the SteelSeries QcK Heavy, a mousepad renowned for its thick, smooth surface and consistent glide. The ample surface area and reliable texture allow for both swift flicks and controlled precision, accommodating Goaster’s sensitivity preferences. The QcK Heavy’s cushioning also provides comfort during extended gameplay sessions, reducing strain on the wrist and allowing for uninterrupted focus.

Goaster sets both his scoped sensitivity and ADS (Aim Down Sights) sensitivity to 1, ensuring a 1:1 ratio with his standard sensitivity. This uniformity means his aim remains consistent regardless of whether he is using a weapon’s scope or aiming down sights, resulting in muscle memory that translates seamlessly across all weapon types and situations in Valorant.

Goaster uses the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro Black, a wireless headset known for its clear, immersive sound and comfortable fit. The headset’s advanced drivers and noise isolation capabilities allow Goaster to pick up subtle audio cues such as enemy footsteps or ability usage, which are crucial for gaining an informational edge in competitive play. Wireless freedom also removes cable clutter, allowing for unrestricted movement.

Goaster plays in fullscreen mode with the aspect ratio method set to ‘Fill’. Fullscreen mode reduces input lag and maximizes system performance by dedicating resources solely to the game. The ‘Fill’ aspect ratio method ensures that the display utilizes the entire screen area, avoiding black bars and providing an immersive visual experience, which can help with spatial awareness and reaction time during play.

Goaster currently keeps raw input buffer turned off. Disabling this feature means that mouse movement is processed through the standard Windows input pipeline rather than being handled directly by the game. Some players prefer this for consistency with their general system feel, though it can introduce minor input lag compared to having it enabled. Goaster’s choice suggests he prioritizes a familiar, stable input experience over the potential gains in responsiveness from raw input buffering.
