The best Valorant players in the world are boring shoppers, and that is the point. Look across the pro pool and the gear list barely changes from team to team. When the only thing that matters is winning rounds, taste stops mattering and the same few products win. Here is what the data says, pulled from prosettings.net, not vibes.
The mouse: light, then lighter
The Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 and the Razer Viper V4 Pro sit at the top of nearly every roster's list. The throughline is weight and a low sensitivity that lets the wrist do micro-adjustments the arm never could. Wireless used to be a latency gamble. It is not anymore, and the pros voted with their hands.

This is where Valorant pulls away from every other shooter. The Wooting 60HE and its hall-effect siblings have all but taken over, and not for the RGB. Adjustable actuation plus rapid trigger means the board registers your finger lifting earlier in the key travel, which sharpens counter-strafing: stop, shoot, move, faster and cleaner. If one purchase on this list is a genuine skill edge, it is this one.

One monitor owns the scene: the ZOWIE XL2566X+ shows up in 40-plus pro setups. High refresh matters, but pros talk less about the number and more about ZOWIE's motion clarity, how clean a moving target looks mid-flick. The headline figure sells the box; the image quality is why it stays on the desk.
