Raw Input Buffer is one of the vital features in Valorant introduced during the Patch 3.07. As the name suggests, turning on the Raw Input Buffer from the game settings allows you to take inputs from your mouse without filtering and processing through your windows operating system, vastly improving your input reaction time by several milliseconds. It especially comes in handy for sweaty or competitive players who use more than 2000 to 8000 Hz polling rate on their mouse, as their mice tend to send a lot of data within a short time frame.
