Settings Lab
Rocket League
settings generator
Four questions, one settings card. Camera, deadzone and sensitivity starting values for your input, stick and playstyle, with the reason behind every number. No pro config to copy blind, no sign-up, nothing saved on our side.
02 / Your settings card
- Controller
- Stock, no drift
- Balanced
- Ranked climber
Camera
- Field of view
- 105
- Wide enough to see rotations without shrinking the ball so much your shots get sloppy. Why →
- Height
- 110
- Higher gives the tactical view; lower feels tighter on the ball. Pair it with distance, not on its own. Why →
- Angle
- -3
- Steeper looks down at the ball for dribbles; flatter favours long shot reads. Give each a full session. Why →
- Swivel speed
- Above default
- No magic number. Raise it until ball cam stops feeling a beat behind your inputs. Why →
Controller
- Controller deadzone
- 0.05
- The lowest value a healthy stock stick usually holds. If the car creeps at rest, go up 0.01 and retest. Why →
- Dodge deadzone
- 0.70
- Raise to 0.75 if you backflip when you meant to double-jump; drop it slightly if flips fail to register. Why →
- Aerial sensitivity
- 1.30
- Too high and small stick movements overcorrect in the air. Move it in 0.05 steps. Why →
- Trigger deadzone
- Default
- Lower it only on hardware with adjustable trigger stops; stock triggers still need full travel. Why →
How the Lab picks the numbers
Nothing here is invented for the tool. Camera values come from the playstyle table in our Rocket League camera settings guide. Deadzone values follow the stick-condition ranges in the controller deadzone guide, and sensitivity and trigger advice comes from the controller settings guide. Keyboard and mouse rows come from the setup section of our controller vs keyboard and mouse guide. Every row on the card links to the section that explains it.
Your stick sets the floor for deadzone; playstyle only decides where in the safe range you start. Not sure whether your stick drifts? The Stick Drift Test measures it in under ten seconds and gives you the exact number. Your level sets how hard to push sensitivity and FOV. If you are still learning the car, the Lab deliberately keeps you near defaults.
Order of operations
- Camera first. Turn camera shake off, ball cam on, then set FOV, distance and height.
- Deadzone second. Find the lowest value your stick holds without creeping in Free Play.
- Sensitivity last. Only once deadzone is stable, or you will not know which change helped.
- One change per session. Play 5–10 matches before you judge it. First-match feel lies.
FAQ
What are the best Rocket League settings?
There is no single best config. A solid starting point for most controller players is FOV 105, distance 270, height 110, angle -3, stiffness 0.35, controller deadzone 0.05, dodge deadzone 0.70 and steering and aerial sensitivity around 1.30. Adjust from there one setting at a time.
Should I copy a pro player’s Rocket League settings?
Only as a starting point. Pro settings are tuned to their monitor, their controller and thousands of hours of muscle memory. Copy the numbers, play a full session, then move one value at a time.
What camera distance should I use in Rocket League?
Start at 270. Aggressive, air-heavy players often like 260 for a closer view of the ball; positional players often go to 290 to read the whole play. Most players land between 260 and 290.
What deadzone should I use if my controller drifts?
Start at 0.08 and raise it in 0.01 steps until the car stops moving when you let go of the stick. If you need more than about 0.10, the stick is worn: clean, recalibrate, repair or replace it.
Does this tool store anything?
Not on our side. The Lab runs in your browser, needs no account, and your choices live in the page address so you can share them. If you have accepted analytics cookies, Google Analytics records anonymous page views (including that address) and when you copy or share a card.
