Chronicle’s Valorant Settings 2026: 200 eDPI, Crosshair Code and Full Gear at Team Vitality

Chronicle doesn’t play for Fnatic anymore. Timofey “Chronicle” Khromov signed with Team Vitality for the 2026 VCT season, reuniting him with former Fnatic teammate Derke — and most “Chronicle settings” pages online still haven’t caught up.[3][4] If you’ve been copying a config labeled Fnatic, you’re copying stale gear and possibly a stale sensitivity too. Chronicle isn’t a random name to chase settings from, either — Team Vitality’s own bio credits him as the first player to win three major international VALORANT trophies, and they signed him specifically to rebuild around after his back-to-back 2023 LOCK//IN and Masters Tokyo titles with Fnatic.[3][5] Below is his current setup as of September 2026, cross-checked across two settings trackers that disagree on his exact numbers, plus the reasoning most settings dumps skip entirely: why a 200 eDPI works for a Controller/Sentinel specialist in a way it wouldn’t for a flick-heavy duelist. Verified September 1, 2026 — pro settings shift often, especially a few months into a new roster, so treat the numbers below as a snapshot, not a permanent config.

Quick Start: Copy Chronicle’s Setup in 5 Steps

  1. Set mouse DPI to 1600 and in-game sensitivity to 0.125 (200 eDPI) — his most recent, best-corroborated figure.[1]
  2. Set polling rate to 1000Hz and enable Raw Input Buffer in Valorant’s Mouse menu.
  3. Import his crosshair code: 0;P;c;7;o;1;f;0;0t;1;0l;3;0v;3;0g;1;0o;2;0a;1;0f;0;1b;0 (red, center dot off, short thin lines).[1]
  4. Don’t jump straight from your current sensitivity to his — see the step-down framework below before you commit.
  5. Match gear only where trackers agree (see the Gear section) — don’t buy a peripheral off a single unverified listing.

This guide focuses on sensitivity, crosshair and gear. For a full FPS, video and general settings breakdown that applies at any rank, see our best Valorant settings guide.

Chronicle’s Sensitivity Settings and Why 200 eDPI Works for Him

The most recent snapshot of Chronicle’s mouse settings, dated September 1, 2026, lists 1600 DPI at 0.125 in-game sensitivity — an effective DPI (eDPI) of 200 — with a 1000Hz polling rate.[1] That figure lines up with the long-standing baseline reported for him since his Fnatic days (800 DPI at 0.25 sensitivity, also 200 eDPI), which is why we’re treating it as the reliable current number rather than a one-off.

It doesn’t fully agree with every tracker, though. ProSettings.net’s July 30, 2026 snapshot has him at 1600 DPI and 0.175 sensitivity — 280 eDPI, a meaningfully higher (less sensitive-feeling, more stable) setup.[2] Pro players tweak sensitivity constantly around roster changes and patch cycles, and Chronicle only joined Vitality a few months before that snapshot, so both numbers are plausible for different points in the year. Verify in-game or on his stream before you commit to either.

eDPI is just your DPI multiplied by your sensitivity multiplier — it’s the number that lets you compare two totally different setups on one scale, since 800 DPI at 0.25 feels identical to 1600 DPI at 0.125.[10] The physical version of the same idea is cm/360: how far you have to physically drag the mouse for a full in-game turn. A smaller cm/360 means faster wrist flicks and harder micro-corrections; a larger one means slower, whole-arm aiming that’s more forgiving on fine adjustments and needs a bigger pad.[10]

That forgiveness is the actual reason a 200 eDPI fits Chronicle’s role. He’s not a duelist snapping onto peekers — VLR.gg’s usage data has him almost entirely on Viper, Vyse, Chamber and Cypher, all Controller or Sentinel picks built around placing utility precisely and holding angles rather than winning first-contact flicks.[4] A lower eDPI trades raw flick speed for the kind of smooth, controlled tracking that lands smoke lineups and trip placements consistently — a trade a duelist chasing entry frags usually won’t make.

eDPI Comparison: Chronicle vs Other Valorant Pros

Top-level Valorant pros mostly cluster between 160 and 320 eDPI, and Chronicle sits on the lower-sensitivity half of that band alongside players known for utility and precision over raw flicking.[10] The table below uses each player’s most recently updated tracker entry as of this writing.

PlayerDPIIn-Game SenseDPIRole
TenZ16000.1160Duelist (T1)
Demon116000.1160Duelist/Flex (Envy)
Chronicle16000.125200Controller/Sentinel (Vitality)
Derke4000.74296Duelist (Vitality)
aspas8000.4320Duelist (MIBR)

The takeaway: Chronicle runs one of the lowest eDPIs on this list despite not being a duelist, which is unusual — most low-eDPI players here (TenZ, Demon1) are chasing flick precision for entry duels, while Chronicle is using that same stability for utility placement instead. His own teammate Derke, by contrast, plays nearly 50% higher eDPI to keep his duelist flicks fast.[6][7][8][9]

Chronicle’s Crosshair Settings 2026

Chronicle’s current crosshair code is 0;P;c;7;o;1;f;0;0t;1;0l;3;0v;3;0g;1;0o;2;0a;1;0f;0;1b;0 — a red crosshair with the center dot switched off, short inner lines, and no outer lines, per the September 2026 tracker snapshot.[1] Worth knowing before you import it: the July 30, 2026 snapshot from a different tracker has a different code entirely for the same player (still red, but with longer 4-pixel inner lines and no outline) — five weeks apart is a short window for a crosshair code to change entirely, which suggests Chronicle tweaks his more often than most pros bother to.[1][2] Treat any single crosshair code as a starting point, not gospel.

A small, dot-free crosshair like this rewards players who already track center-mass consistently, since there’s no dot cluttering the exact center pixel. If you’re newer and rely on the dot to confirm where your crosshair actually sits, keep one until your tracking is consistent — copying a pro’s dot-off setup before you’re ready just makes flicks less accurate, not more “pro.” For a wider set of verified pro crosshair codes and the reasoning behind static vs. dynamic choices, see our Valorant crosshair settings breakdown.

Chronicle’s Full Gear List: Mouse, Keyboard, Monitor and More

Gear is where the two trackers disagree the most — a sign Chronicle’s loadout is still settling after the Vitality move. Here’s what’s confirmed vs. contested.

ItemSept 2026 trackerJuly 2026 tracker
MouseATK Blazing Sky F1 PRO MAXATK Dragonfly A9 Air
KeyboardUnspecified (“custom”)ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE Black
MonitorSony INZONE M10S — 27″, 1440p, 480Hz (both trackers agree)

MousepadKurosun NinjaPulsar Meiy Glass
Overhead flat-lay of a pro gaming mouse, keyboard and monitor edge on a desk setup
Mouse, keyboard and the one piece of gear both trackers agree on: a 480Hz Sony INZONE M10S

The one point of full agreement — the Sony INZONE M10S, a 27-inch 1440p panel running at 480Hz — is the safest single piece of gear info to trust here.[1][2] The 480Hz refresh rate matters more than the resolution for a competitive player: at 480Hz the display redraws roughly every 2 milliseconds instead of the 16.7ms of a standard 60Hz monitor, which shortens the gap between an enemy appearing on-screen and Chronicle actually seeing it — the same reason most top VALORANT pros run high-refresh 1440p over 4K, since raw pixel count matters less than update speed once you’re tracking fast-moving targets. Everything else (mouse model, keyboard, headset, mousepad) is genuinely contested between the two most recent trackers, both dated within five weeks of each other. Both agree he’s on an ATK mouse specifically, just not which model, so that brand is a reasonably safe bet even where the exact SKU isn’t. If you’re buying gear to match a pro, buy the confirmed monitor first and wait on the rest — or better, watch his stream and check what’s actually on his desk that day. None of this is unusual for a player who just switched orgs — sponsorship deals and peripheral contracts often take a few months to settle after a transfer, which is a more likely explanation than either tracker simply being wrong.

Should You Copy Chronicle’s Settings?

Not everyone should lift his numbers directly. Use this table to figure out what actually applies to you.

Player typeWhat to take from this
New playerCopy the polling rate (1000Hz) and Raw Input Buffer setting only. Keep your own comfortable sensitivity — a pro’s eDPI assumes months of muscle memory you don’t have yet.
Casual playerLand somewhere in the 200-320 eDPI band this article covers, but don’t force his exact 200 if your current cm/360 already feels natural well outside that range.
Hardcore optimiserTest his exact 200 eDPI for a full session before adopting it — measure your own cm/360 first, then step toward his number in roughly 20% increments so your aim has time to adjust.
CompletionistTrack both the 200 and 280 eDPI values over time via the linked trackers — Chronicle’s numbers have shifted before and will likely shift again post-Vitality settle-in.

If you’re not sure where to start, don’t switch cold. Drop your current eDPI by no more than 15-20% at a time, play a few competitive matches, and only step down again once tracking (not just flicking) feels stable. Jumping straight to 200 from a much higher sensitivity usually wrecks your aim for a week before it helps it. And if precision utility placement over duelist flicking sounds like your style in the first place, it’s worth checking whether Controller is even the right role for you — see our best Controller agents guide before you commit to matching a Controller specialist’s sensitivity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Chronicle still on Fnatic?

No. He left Fnatic for Team Vitality ahead of the 2026 VCT season, announced October 25, 2025, reuniting with former Fnatic teammate Derke.[3][4][5] Any settings page still crediting him to Fnatic is using outdated information — worth a red flag for the rest of that page’s data too.

Why do Chronicle’s eDPI numbers disagree between sites?

Because settings trackers are only as current as their last scrape, and pro players change sensitivity around roster moves and patches more than casual players assume. The July 2026 snapshot (280 eDPI) and September 2026 snapshot (200 eDPI) are five weeks apart — both could be real, sequential settings rather than one being simply wrong.[1][2]

Does a lower eDPI make you a better player?

No — it makes you better at whatever your eDPI is tuned for. Chronicle’s 200 eDPI suits precise utility placement and sustained tracking for his Controller/Sentinel role; a duelist like aspas runs nearly 60% higher because entry duels reward faster flicks more than fine control.[7] Copying the number without copying the playstyle it’s built for won’t replicate the results.
