cNed

🇹🇷 Mehmet Yağız “cNed” İpek is a Turkish professional Valorant player for Eternal Fire and one of the most mechanically gifted Operator players in the world. Originally a CS:GO player, cNed transitioned to Valorant and quickly established himself as a nightmare to play against — his Operator precision and duelist aggression on agents like Jett became a defining feature of EMEA Valorant competition. His ability to combine high-pressure entry fragging with surgical Operator shots has earned him recognition as one of the most complete duelists in the professional scene.

Current Mouse: Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro

cNed uses the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro, a flagship wireless ergonomic mouse built for right-handed players. Weighing just 64g, it features Razer’s Focus Pro 30K optical sensor and provides up to 90 hours of battery life over its HyperSpeed wireless connection. The DeathAdder V3 Pro retains the iconic right-handed ergonomic shape that the DeathAdder line has been known for since its original release, refined over generations into one of the most comfortable esports mice available.

For an Operator player like cNed, who must hold precise angles and execute quick-scoped flick shots, the ergonomic form factor provides a stable, comfortable grip that supports consistent wrist positioning across long match sessions. The Focus Pro 30K sensor offers class-leading accuracy with intelligent tracking adjustments, ensuring reliable performance on any mousepad surface.

In-Game Settings Breakdown

cNed’s Valorant settings feature an extremely low eDPI — characteristic of elite Operator players:

• DPI: 800
• In-game sensitivity: 0.345
• eDPI: 276 (DPI × sensitivity)
• Polling rate: 1000Hz
• Resolution: 1920×1080 (native)
• Refresh rate: 360Hz

An eDPI of 276 is exceptionally low — among the lowest in professional Valorant. This requires very large physical mouse movements to rotate the in-game view, and places high demands on the player’s arm movement consistency. Operator specialists frequently gravitate toward low eDPI because it provides maximum control over the crosshair, reducing overshooting on long-range scope shots.

Why These Settings?

The ultra-low eDPI of 276 reflects cNed’s Operator-centric playstyle. The Operator (Valorant’s sniper rifle) rewards players who can precisely control crosshair placement and execute clean one-hit kills, where overshooting an angle even slightly can mean death before getting a shot off. Very low eDPI forces arm-driven movement, which produces smoother, more consistent tracking with less micro-jitter compared to wrist-driven, high-sensitivity aim.

The 800 hardware DPI — rather than the CS2-standard 400 — paired with the extremely low 0.345 in-game sensitivity achieves the same low eDPI while allowing the sensor to operate at a slightly higher hardware DPI. Some players find this combination provides marginally smoother cursor movement on very low sensitivity.

Playing at 1920×1080 native resolution is standard in Valorant’s professional scene — unlike CS2, where stretched resolutions dominate. The 360Hz refresh rate ensures the lowest possible display latency, a critical advantage when executing fast peek-and-shoot Operator plays.
