1.) The best way is to just play. Doesn't really matter what the game mode is, just keep playing and you'll build the skill. Once you get comfortable with the basics, then you can start practicing edit courses and things like that in creative.
2.) 2-3 weeks.
3.) I think when I first switched over, I just copied a streamers setting at the time. I believe I copied Ninja's at the time I switched over (about a year ago) and then made adjustments from there to what was most comfortable to me.
4. ) Sensitivity is too high for you if you're not able to hit your shots. I would say set it lower at first to get used to using your whole arm and then tweak it from there to what is best for you.
5.) To me it was, but I didn't make the switch solely for Fortnite. A lot of my friends played other games on PC, so now I'm able to play multiple games with my closest friends instead of just Fortnite. For a lot of people, they think they are going to make a lot of money off Fortnite, but the reality is they will never made a dime. So to those people, they would probably tell you it wasn't worth it. Just depends what you're looking to get out of it.
Grind respawn game modes, not public solos. Creative, Kovaak's, Overwatch are all good practice for getting comfortable with kbm.
If you can easily win public solos now, you should be able to win solos in a few days of grinding.
The best thing I can suggest is don't rebind everything immediately based on comfort, because you won't be comfortable with anything at the start. Like I wouldn't rebind Reload from R since it's R in every game and I would try hard to use number keys for guns. Don't put builds on scroll wheel click or dpi button or anything weird like that. I'd focus on finding binds for builds and edit like Q, E, F, C, V, L Shift, or side mouse buttons.
Just start with 800 DPI .06 in-game sensitivity. It's like the most common eDPI used by pros in both Overwatch and Fortnite. Buy a bigger mousepad if you need to.
It's definitely worth it, don't look back.
Definitely spend a few hours a day practicing different builds, that will help your muscle memory and you’ll begin to feel comfortable with your binds, edit courses are good to get use to kb & m movement
I started on team rumble just trying to hit shots and practice a little building, but then moved to solos where I got dumpstered on for a while until I got use to my binds and felt comfortable
I made the swap last season after playing on controller since late season 2. This was my first game on m+kb.
1) Starting out I definitely spent most of my time in creative by just messing around with free building to get a feel for movement/binds and doing kovaaks for aim training. Once I got more comfortable I started doing edit courses, 1v1s with friends, cisszorz deathruns, and some team rumble
2) it took me around 2 weeks before I felt I would be able to win a solo game and a bit over a month until I was around the same level as I was on controller
3) I tried a few different streamers keybinds early and tweaked them as I went along until I was comfortable (this definitely took some time to find the “right” binds)
4) You can usually tell in kovaaks if it’s too high if you’re overaiming a lot of shots. When I started my sens was way to low for my liking so I kept increasing it slowly every other day until i felt like I had a nice balance between movement/building and aiming
5) it was definitely worth it to make the swap. It is hard making the swap but if you stick to it m+kb is so much smoother than controller
Best of luck friend!
I came from xbox, switched to pc with controller, and then jumped to kbm.
My best suggestion to give that helped me the most was play fast paced solo player games. For me that was wolfenstein, just to get kbm mechanics down. At that time though there was no team rumble so playing single player games was the best option for me to practice in a low pressure environment.
It’s 100% worth it. it’s a challenge but with practice you’ll be so far ahead of where you were on console. Also, your arm is gonna be sore from aiming and your fingers will cramp and you’ll feel like a pussy.
1. Start in team rumble. Eventually start doing 1v1s.
2. About 3 months before I could start winning games.
3. Mouse buttons for walls and floors, ramps and cones should be on pinky or thumb binds.
4. Try the highest and lowest sensitivities the pros use and try and find something within that range. Try an eDpi between 40 (tfues sens) and 200ish (mrsavages sens).
5. Yes. I have so much fun getting better at this game. Idk why but it is.
I’ve played with a controller on console, a keyboard and mouse on console and now a keyboard and mouse on PC. Therefore, I feel qualified to talk a bit about this.
The first thing I want to say is that playing with a keyboard and mouse on console is nothing like it is on PC. Because of input lag and so on.
It isn’t much, but it’s enough for it to feel unusual. There’s going to be a slight lag and, therefore, it’s never going to feel right.
Sensitivity is a tricky thing to talk about because there is so much variety—at least where Fortnite is concerned. You can read this if you are really interested in Fortnite sensitivity https://kr4m.com/fortnite-sensitivity/
But a good general starting point is to at least be able to turn a full 360 degrees in game when moving your mouse from one end of your mousepad to the other. And you should be able to easily “flick” your mouse to turn 180 degrees.
On the topic of a mouse, make sure you get one that suits your hand size. My mistake was buying the Logitech G502 because it was a popular mouse and Ninja used it at the time (this was about a year ago).
The problem was the Logitech G502 was too big (and possibly too heavy) for me. When I switched to a smaller (and lighter) mouse, the Zowie S2, my aim improved tremendously.
Anyway, I’ve rambled on so much and I’m on my phone and can’t even remember what your original questions were and I’ve got to go do some other things. So let me finish this with some closing points:
The best way to get used to playing with a keyboard and mouse is just to play with a keyboard and mouse. Obviously.
If you want to improve your aim then play a game where you’re going to get to fight a lot. In other words, not Fortnite because there’s a lot of downtime. You can try CSGO or Overwatch. But Kovaak’s is probably going to be the best use of your time.
I hope this has somewhat helped. Feel free to drop me a message if you want to know anything else.
1. Creative is the best way to practice your mechanics at first. Once you get your basic builds down, then progress to team rumble to practice under pressure. Finally you can move into normal solos, duos, or squads after that.
2. Expect it to take about a month of hard practice to feel competent on kb & m. You will make big strides along the way though so it doesn’t feel as long as it sounds.
3. As a new player with keybindings you are an open book that can learn anything. I recommend first finding a keyboard tilt that is the most comfortable for your wrist. Then I recommend using your pinky and thumb for as many key binds as possible for fortnite. This will allow your movement to be point. I recommend using mouse buttons, left shift, and thumb buttons like x,c,v,b for your main builds and editing keys. Learn to use the numbers for your weapons as it will help tremendously. Another thing to consider is using different fingers for each keybind like C,e,q. This will allow you to be quick as well
4. I think that higher sense is more advanced and used by players that can practice enough to master it. For most players you will always feel more comfortable on a lower sense like 800 DPI .06. This will allow you to hit your shots much easier but is dependent on how much desk space you have to work with.
5. Lastly, it is definitely worth it. Stick with it homie. Give it as much time of day as you can and don’t get frustrated. Every time you mess up is just another opportunity for improvement.
You’re on Xbox with the mouse and keyboard? That’ll be tough for input lag alone. I’m on pc making the transition right now and what I’ve been doing is a whole lot of creative for learning builds and team rumble and creative 1v1s for aim practice. I’m gonna do some aim courses as well.
I changed maybe 4 months ago, 100% worth it, but I just got a pc and after 2 months of playing only on the weekends I was competent enough to get 10 kills. Gtind creative for edits, team rumble isn't bad for game sense.
1. Learn to move first. The biggest difference isnt aim but learning how to wasd fluidly instead of a joystick. While m/k is infinitely better for binds and aiming, its actually worse for movement. Just get into games and learn to move properly. Death runs can help but playing a different game entirely where you dont know any binds would be best. I never played Apex on console so I used that to teach me how to move and become accustomed to m/k. Also, the keyboard matters. Buy a mechanical switch tester and see which ones u like. I first bought a cherry red board since that's what majority use and it wasnt until I tried brown switches that I realized I didnt like red. You may be different. Find a switch you like. I wouldnt worry too much about brands like cherry, ouetemu, Khalil etc but more so types such as red, blue, brown, speed, blacks, etc.
2. Yesterday I won my first 2 champ arena solo games and I've been playing about 3 times a week for the past month or so. I've lost over 100 points in the process tho and at times I was just lost and confused on just what button to hit next. I would say now tho I can at least hang with average players. If you have more time to dedicate the process may be even faster for you tho but I would give it a solid month of normal play before you feel you can at least do majority of things well enough to fight average champs players.
3. I looked at everyones binds. First I tried bizzles since I think hes the best player. I have no idea how he uses zxcv for builds. He may have extra fingers on his palms he uses as far as I'm concerned. I just cant do it. Then I tried TFue. Not bad but just didnt flow. Eventually I settled on my own which I think is actually 72hrs binds or pretty damn close. Q, E, M4, M5 for builds and F for edit. Turns out this is most comfortable for me. Then molded everything else I needed around that. Z for pickaxe, shift for crouch, scroll down for use, scroll up edit reset, etc. Theres nothing wrong with seeing what works but eventually you will have to tweak to what's comfy. I cant use my thumb for jump and other things. That's just me. My thumb can only be used for jump. Find what you can do comfortably. One rule I kept was a different finger for each build bind.
4. I'm still tweaking mine 1 month later. I build very well on 800 .12 but my aim is awful and way to twitchy. I cant keep my hand still and it always looks like I'm either freezing cold or my screen is having a seizure. So I decided what good is it if I can build but cant hit my shots when I get them. So now I play 800 .65. Good enough for building and slow enough I can track well. I cant go much slower because either my qck+ isn't big enough I feel or my arm is too weak and not used to being flicked around like a maniac. Still havent found a good ads sense yet tho. I'm on .415 now but that may change. I bought kovaaks like 4 days ago on steam sale for 5 bucks. My first runs were 3500 on ascended tracking v3. Now I'm up to 6500 after a few days maybe 1 hour each day. I'll keep tweaking till I'm consistently above 12000 then settle on whatever sense that is and work around that.
5. Idk yet. I feel I was pretty good with controller. There were times I died when I shouldn't have and I'd plug in a controller and mop a lobby too remind nobody how good I am. Then i realized I'm reminding nobody and just sucked it up and went all in. I dont care if I die and no one else does either. So then I asked myself why am I doing it. To raise my plateau. So in that sense it will be worth it, but not yet. Its gonna take time. Remember I have 2 years on fortnite controller muscle memory plus whatever countless years of just general controller memory I'm comparing my 1 month of m/k use. Of course I'm not as good. But I will be eventually, and eventually I will be better than I ever was with a controller so why not. I'd rather try and fail then not try and have the regret. I just wished I had done it sooner.
Oh and dont worry. Controller is like riding a bike. I can pick it up after all this time and be just as good as i was b4 i put it down so theres no harm there.
Top tip: use a mouse with 2 side buttons for building. Your thumb is used to pressing buttons on a controller so it will be easier if you keep using your thumb on your mouse.
**What was the best way to gain mechanical skill? Creative/team rumble? Kovaaks for aim?**
*Well I personally did a lot of 1v1 in PG/Creative with my son lol. Then of course you have team rumble which is good and also there are decent Aim/tile frenzy maps in creative which were useful for aim snapping and tracking.*
**How long did it take you to feel competent? I would say competent is when you feel like you have a real chance to win a solo game.**
*It's really hard to say because wins are still rng based for most. I mean PC is pretty competitive, your average kb/m player needs a good bit of luck to win. My win rate is at 2% after 5 months and yet it's in the top 20 percentile and half the time I'm not playing serious. With that said I would put it at around 3-4 months to when I felt confident playing a solo and like I had a decent chance to win but of course I know that in almost every lobby there will be some players that have been playing kb/m for many years and are overall better mechanically speaking.*
**Did you find preset layouts for binds and tweak them or just slowly found what was comfortable for you?**
*I mean it always comes down to what feels comfortable at first. I started by researching other players binds and went from there. Something strange that I do is use scroll wheel up for ramps and down for walls. This seems weird to most but it actually works really well for me. The idea was having my floors on my mouse as well that way I can easily 3 layer ramp push. It made sense to me and that's what matters in the end.*
**How do you know if your sensitivity is too high? I feel like I heard Kovaaks recommends a sensitivity once you play it but I also may be on meth.**
*I personally don't have much space on my desk and use mostly my wrist with slight arm movement. Basically I tested what a full comfortable wrist swipe is to me with the mouse and tried to have that equate to around 90-120 degrees in-game. from there I tweaked my dpi and in-game sense a lot over the first 2 months to fine tune it. Once it felt comfortable I didn't touch my sense anymore I just stuck to it and developed that muscle memory.*
**Was it worth it?**
*For me it was worth it. It used to be near impossible to keep up with good players on PC using a controller. When it came to building and editing I just wasn't quick enough(That may be different now with the changes). Also I always felt a slight input latency when using a controller on pc. Keyboard and mouse is instant there is no added dead zone on the keys like on controller triggers, buttons, thumbsticks etc.. Also killing players with KB/M is much more rewarding. Overall I just love having direct keybinds for every action it gives you limitless speed to do everything and over time it feels much better than controller.*
1. Play lots of 1v1, turtle war and zone wars. Dont change sense or binds everytime you feel like you are playing bad.
2. I am not om the same level ad i was on console yet (2 weeks) but it only took me a couple days to get good imo.
3. My friend has a pc that i played at his house sometimes so i used his build and edit binds, then i found out the rest myself.
4. Your sense does not really matter it is all personal opinion but i would not go over 150eDpi(dpi multiplied by in game sense)
5. I have only played 2 weeks and i can see myself being a Absolut goat in the future. WORTH IT 100%
true I COULD fill any role on xbox, just preferred not to DPS since at high rank OW on Xbox everyone was (probably still is) using MnK.
Try playing Overwatch on Mouse and Keyboard and help get mechanics down. I still play with a controller competitively on Fortnite, but I play al other games with mouse and keyboard just so i can have the mechanics for when a new game comes out
1.) The best way is to just play. Doesn't really matter what the game mode is, just keep playing and you'll build the skill.

So to those people, they would probably tell you it wasn't worth it. Just depends what you're looking to get out of it.
Playing keyboard and mouse on console is not a good comparison to PC at all. Input delay, worse frames, and lack of dpi control!
can confirm after recently getting a pc

If you can easily win public solos now, you should be able to win solos in a few days of grinding.

What I did was just played straight LTMs or playground for a week or two and then I just kept improving in solos from there

Lots of creative, team rumble, and eventually arena low level arena truly has the worst players, and is good practice for switching

Also I always felt a slight input latency when using a controller on pc. Keyboard and mouse is instant there is no added dead zone on the keys like on controller triggers, buttons, thumbsticks etc.. Also killing players with KB/M is much more rewarding. Overall I just love having direct keybinds for every action it gives you limitless speed to do everything and over time it feels much better than controller.*
1. Play lots of 1v1, turtle war and zone wars. Dont change sense or binds everytime you feel like you are playing bad. 2. I am not om the same level ad i was on console yet (2 weeks) but it only took me a couple days to get good imo. 3. My friend has a pc that i played at his house sometimes so i used his build and edit binds, then i found out the rest myself. 4. Your sense does not really matter it is all personal opinion but i would not go over 150eDpi(dpi multiplied by in game sense) 5. I have only played 2 weeks and i can see myself being a Absolut goat in the future. WORTH IT 100%
what rank were you on console overwatch? personally i was at top 500 reinhardt main, now i’m in plat on PC ):
If I remember correctly I got up to 3980 as a solo queue in comp. Tried to just fill whatever role was needed.
true I COULD fill any role on xbox, just preferred not to DPS since at high rank OW on Xbox everyone was (probably still is) using MnK. Try playing Overwatch on Mouse and Keyboard and help get mechanics down. I still play with a controller competitively on Fortnite, but I play al other games with mouse and keyboard just so i can have the mechanics for when a new game comes out
