There are game modes and challenges to complete that’ll help you get that crisp aim, but sometimes, an external feature is a sneaky way to get that extra step beyond. Players like to use things like external aim trainers to warm up their flicking arm. Others like to use programs. But what’s angle snapping in VALORANT? We have the answer.

Angle snapping is an external feature of your mouse. It’s an effective tool for minimizing micro-adjustments that can throw off your aim as you flick from head to head. It basically helps you perform better, albeit by a tiny margin.

How to enable angle snapping

Go to your mouse settings and search for an angle-snapping setting. The location of which will depend on what brand of mouse you own. Once you’ve located the setting, enable it. Angle snapping will then start working for VALORANT, and fortunately, you won’t get banned for using it. It’s not considered a cheat, despite the small advantages it gives you, so don’t worry about your beloved account getting banned. Believe us, we’ve been using angle snapping from day one.

Bear in mind you won’t be able to spot an angle-snapping setting in the VALORANT menus. They’re specific to your mouse.

For example, here are Corsair’s settings below:

There you have it. Now you can flick to heads with ease. But be aware that micro-adjustments will be harder. Changing to different leveled areas and slight changes in angle will be more challenging, but your aim will look smooth. It’s a small price to pay and totally worth the sacrifice,

Common mouse brands that have angle snapping

There are a variety of mouse brands on the market that can do angle-snapping. Some of the most popular brands include:

  • Corsair
  • Republic of Gamers
  • Lioncast
  • SteelSeries
  • Razer
  • Logitech

These are some of the most common brands on the market, so don’t worry about splashing your cash to afford a mouse with angle snapping. The chances are you already have a mouse with the feature.
