TenZ Valorant Settings: Keyboard, Mouse, and Crosshair (2026)

Table of contents

Tyson “TenZ” Ngo is widely considered one of the most mechanically gifted players in Valorant history. His ability to hit pixel-perfect flick shots and perfectly time his counter-strafes has made him the gold standard for aspiring Radiant players.

TenZ currently uses the Wooting 80HE keyboard with Rapid Trigger technology and the Pulsar TenZ Signature Edition mouse. He plays at 1600 DPI on a low in-game sensitivity, and needs plenty of mouse space to execute his signature flick shots.

If you want to mimic the mechanics of a VCT Champion, copying his hardware and in-game settings is the best place to start. He retired from pro play in 2024 and now streams as a T1 content creator, but he still tweaks his setup often. Here is the complete breakdown of TenZ’s Valorant setup.

Settings last checked: October 2026

Quick Reference: Sens, DPI & Crosshair Code

  • DPI: 1600
  • In-Game Sensitivity: low and changes often (recent reports range from 0.1 to 0.24)
  • Scoped Sensitivity: 1.0
  • Polling Rate: 1000Hz
  • Crosshair Code: 0;s;1;P;c;5;o;0;f;0;0l;2;0v;2;0g;1;0o;1;0a;1;0f;0;1b;0
  • Gear: Wooting 80HE keyboard, Pulsar TenZ Signature Edition mouse, Sony INZONE M10S monitor

TenZ’s Keyboard & Rapid Trigger Settings

TenZ is notorious for constantly switching his peripherals, but he consistently returns to keyboards that feature magnetic switches and Rapid Trigger technology.

  • Keyboard: Wooting 80HE (he previously used the Wooting 60HE)
  • Switches: Lekker (Magnetic Hall Effect)
  • Actuation Point: 0.1mm
  • Rapid Trigger: Enabled (0.15mm reset)

Why he uses it: The Wooting 80HE allows TenZ to stop moving the exact millisecond he lifts his finger off the WASD keys. In Valorant, where movement inaccuracy is heavily penalized, this hardware advantage makes his counter-strafing significantly faster than players using standard mechanical switches. (Want to see how this keyboard compares to the competition?

TenZ’s Gaming Mouse & Sens

TenZ is a low-sensitivity player. He relies on massive arm movements for large turns and precise wrist adjustments for micro-corrections.

  • Mouse: Pulsar TenZ Signature Edition (he has also used the Finalmouse Starlight Pro and the Logitech G Pro X Superlight)
  • DPI: 1600
  • In-Game Sensitivity: changes often (recent reports range from 0.1 to 0.24)
  • eDPI: roughly 160 to 384, depending on which recent report you follow
  • Scoped Sensitivity: 1.0
  • Polling Rate: 1000Hz
  • Windows Pointer Speed: 6/11 (Enhance Pointer Precision: OFF)

Why he uses it: His Pulsar signature mouse weighs just 47 grams. Because TenZ plays on such a low sensitivity, he has to throw his mouse across his desk constantly. A heavy mouse would cause severe wrist fatigue over a best-of-three VCT series.

TenZ’s Valorant Keybinds

Unlike some pros who use highly customized layouts, TenZ keeps his keybinds relatively standard, with a few crucial optimizations for his movement.

  • Walk: Left Shift
  • Crouch: Left Ctrl
  • Jump: Mouse Wheel Down
  • Use Object: E
  • Equip Primary Weapon: 1
  • Equip Secondary Weapon: 2
  • Equip Melee: 3
  • Equip Spike: 5
  • Ability 1: C
  • Ability 2: Mouse 4
  • Ability 3: Mouse 5
  • Ultimate: F

The Secret Bind: Notice that TenZ binds his Jump to Mouse Wheel Down. This is a classic Counter-Strike trick that makes executing consecutive bunny hops significantly easier than trying to perfectly time the spacebar. He also puts two abilities on his mouse side buttons, so he can use utility without taking his fingers off WASD.

TenZ’s Crosshair Settings

TenZ changes his crosshair frequently depending on his mood, but he almost always sticks to a small, static cyan crosshair that doesn’t obscure the enemy’s head at long distances.

To use his exact crosshair, copy and paste this code into your Valorant crosshair profile settings:

TenZ Crosshair Code: 0;s;1;P;c;5;o;0;f;0;0l;2;0v;2;0g;1;0o;1;0a;1;0f;0;1b;0

  • Color: Cyan
  • Outlines: On at 0 opacity (invisible in game)
  • Center Dot: Off
  • Inner Lines: Opacity 1, Length 2, Thickness 2, Offset 1
  • Outer Lines: Off
  • Movement / Firing Error: Off

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does TenZ change his mouse so often?

TenZ has stated on stream that he suffers from the “placebo effect” when it comes to mice. When his aim starts to feel sluggish or he hits a slump, switching to a new mouse shape or weight temporarily forces his brain to focus harder on his mechanics, which often breaks him out of the slump.

Does TenZ use a mousepad?

Yes. Because he plays on a very low sensitivity, he requires a massive mousepad. He currently uses the Artisan NINJA FX ZERO Soft, a cloth pad that balances speed for flick shots with control for micro-adjustments.

Can copying TenZ’s settings make me a better player?

Copying pro settings will not automatically give you pro aim. However, copying TenZ’s low sensitivity is highly recommended for beginners, as lower sensitivities are objectively easier to control for precise headshots in tactical shooters compared to high, jittery sensitivities.
