something currently plays with a sensitivity of 0.66 and a DPI of 800, resulting in an effective DPI (eDPI) of 528. This combination offers a balanced approach, providing both the precision needed for accurate aiming and the speed required for swift movements, which is favored by many professional Valorant players for its versatility in various combat scenarios.

something uses a custom crosshair code that creates a compact, static crosshair with minimal outer lines and no center dot. This design keeps the crosshair unobtrusive, allowing for clear visibility of targets while maintaining enough reference points for precise aiming, which is especially beneficial in high-pressure competitive matches.

something currently uses the ZOWIE XL2586X monitor, renowned for its high refresh rate and esports-focused features. Display settings are optimized with AMA (Advanced Motion Accelerator) set to High, Gamma set to 3, a contrast of 50, sharpness at 6, and a brightness of 70. These settings ensure smooth visuals and clear enemy outlines, essential for fast-paced FPS gameplay.

something prioritizes maximum performance and visibility by setting all major graphics options to low or off, including bloom, v-sync, vignette, distortion, and anti-aliasing. The game is run at 1920x1080 resolution in fullscreen mode with a 16:9 aspect ratio, ensuring high frame rates and minimal visual distractions, which is crucial for competitive play.

something customizes the minimap by setting its size to 1.2 and zoom to 1, with fixed orientation based on side, and keeps player centered turned off. Vision cones are enabled, and map region names are always displayed. This setup provides comprehensive situational awareness without cluttering the screen, aiding in informed decision-making during matches.

something employs a tailored keybind layout, assigning crouch to both L-Alt and Ctrl, jump to both Space Bar and Mouse Wheel Down, and walk to L-Shift or Shift. Abilities are mapped to C, Q, and E, with ultimate on X. This dual-assignment approach allows for flexibility and quick reactions, catering to both comfort and competitive efficiency.

something's current mouse of choice is the Logitech G Pro X2 SUPERSTRIKE, paired with the Artisan Ninja FX Zero Soft Black mousepad. This combination is popular among professionals for its lightweight design, reliable sensor, and consistent glide, providing the precision and speed necessary for high-level Valorant gameplay.

For audio, something uses the HyperX Cloud III headset, known for its clear positional sound and comfort during long sessions. While specific in-game audio settings aren't detailed, the choice of headset ensures that subtle audio cues, like footsteps and ability usage, are easily discernible, which is vital for maintaining a competitive edge.

something currently uses the Pulsar PCMK 3 keyboard, which features high-performance switches designed for rapid actuation and minimal input lag. This type of keyboard is favored in esports for its responsiveness, allowing for precise and swift inputs during crucial moments in matches.

Over time, something has experimented with various sensitivity and eDPI settings, ranging from sensitivities of 0.7 down to 0.425 and eDPIs from 560 to as low as 340. This history reflects a search for the ideal balance between control and speed, ultimately settling on a moderate sensitivity that supports both accuracy and rapid movement in competitive environments.
