5 Tips to Get Better at Using a Keyboard and Mouse in Fortnite

A mouse and keyboard are generally considered the superior input devices for shooter games.

Because you can aim more precisely with a mouse than with a controller.

And you can build faster with a keyboard because there are more keys.

But learning to get good with a mouse and keyboard is more difficult than most people think.

In this video, I share some of the things I've learned to help you improve at using a mouse and keyboard and Fortnite.

1. Use a sensible sensitivity

One of the biggest things that's holding Fortnite players back is that they're using a bad sensitivity.

I know because I used to use a terrible sensitivity, too.

But I've learned from studying the very best players, and with some good theory.

You want the balance between a low sensitivity for precision and a high sensitivity for mobility.

2. Get a mouse that fits your hand

My first mouse was the Logitech G502. A fine mouse, but it's big and heavy.

You see, I have small hands. So I require a small mouse.

You can calculate the ideal length of your mouse by measuring the length of your hand from the base of your wrist to the tip of your middle finger.

Then take this number and multiply it by 0.7 and 0.75. Your ideal mouse length will be between these two numbers.

3. Find keybinds that work for you

Along with your sensitivity, your keybinds are one of the most important settings you can configure.

Your keybinds set everything from how you can build, move, edit, switch between weapons, and so on.

Having the wrong keybinds can be a disaster.

But getting them right can make everything feel so much easier.

I recommend you start with your building keybinds, and your goal should be to get them on separate fingers when possible.

It will take some trial and error before you find optimal keybinds for you, so keep experimenting and trust in the process.

4. Get comfortable

So many gamers have terrible posture.

When you're not sitting properly you can negatively impact how you can breathe, and it can cause a range of health problems down the line.

Do yourself a favor and make sure your set up is set up with good ergonomics in mind, and with plenty of space so you can freely move your mouse without hitting your keyboard.

5. Take advantage of aim trainers

I love Fortnite.

But it sucks for trying to improve your mouse accuracy because there's so much downtime.

Aim trainers are the solution to downtime and they enable you to have an effective practice session in a short amount of time.

The aim trainer I recommend is Kovaak's FPS Aim Trainer. It runs well, has thousands of scenarios, and is trusted by the pro player community.

Here's my Kovaak's guide that outlines some of the best scenarios for Fortnite players and gives you example routines based on your ability: https://kr4m.com/kovaaks/

Finally, don't give up.

Learning new things is hard.

But when you trust in the process, you will be able to reap the full rewards.

I hope this video helps you get to where you want to be. Good luck.
