Raw input buffer Valorant – What’s it?

Does raw imput help Valorant?

• First of all, Raw input works by allowing the game to read the mouse input data straight from the source, effectively skipping the OS (Operating System) smoothing and acceleration filters.
• This helps because the windows filter and acceleration introduce a delay before the game engine can read the data.
• As a result, It reduces input latency (basically how fast your device responds to, for example, mouse movement). With a good enough mouse, having a high pooling rate (measured in Hz, which is the frequency at which the mouse tells the device where it is in a given moment), the difference will be noticeable.
