IMPROVE on Keyboard and Mouse FAST in Apex Legends with These Tips!! (Season 7 Guide)

What's up guys! In today's video we're going to be talking about 3 key steps you need to take to become more comfortable on keyboard and mouse in Apex Legends.
1. Picking the right sensitivity (0:39)
2. Picking the right mouse grip (5:20)
3. Picking the right keybinds (7:38)
My hope with this video is to give you all the research I've done regarding these topics and give you the ability to make better decisions that will make you a better player. This will save you a lot of time and wondering and allow you to be confident and comfortable on keyboard and mouse when switching to PC or switching from controller to kbam.
I also cover my settings, sensitivity, and keybinds as a lot of people have been asking me for them. Hope you enjoy! Thanks for watching!

I’ve been playing Apex since day one and never fully felt comfortable playing it. This video is the answer to all the questions I had specifically about this game.

[@Hybridify]

❤ so happy to hear that ❤

[@vexxeyxo]

Heal wheel > everything :) Also a great video idea to accompany this is physical peripherals, and the ways you can optimize your setup for improvement! Could maybe even talk w/ Prosper on some opinions and maybe refs for papers and whatnot that you could use to back up claims and generally know stuff

[@Hybridify]

Yeah for sure I think that would be a good idea. Backing up claims is smart tbh its hard to cite sources though because there is so much information out there and a lot of it is based on personal experience. Appreciate the feedback man ❤

[@vexxeyxo]

@@Hybridify well things like showing info on mice, taking statistics on % of pros using light/heavy mice, does wireless matter, good choices and setups for monitors, posture (IS REALLY EASY TO USE REAL RESEARCH PAPERS), how you should be set up in relation to your monitor (and how to not follow Vexxey's example :) and how far apart things should be, and maybe you can show some ways they can experiment on their own to figure out what's right, idk, just some things I thought of while watching the video and thinking like "hm, he could expand on this using this"

Finally made the switch to pc from console but was nervous so carried over my controller setup. Watched this video and finally gave mnk a try. It’s frustrating since I’ve been playing on console since before season 1 and my movement feels incredibly slow. But after messing around and getting comfortable I got my first dub with over 1300dmg. Still feel so slow but I’m gonna stick to it. Thanks for the solid video man

@@anthonycastillo4855 hey man, so when I first switched I was in the 1200 dpi, but gradually I went lower and lower haha. I’m prettttty low currently at 400 dpi and I think in game sens at 1.8 with a 1.0 multiplier or whatever on apex. I don’t have a flashy play style, and i do require a lot more arm movement and hard flicks- but it’s what ended up feeling better for me personally

Nice video! I've been trying KnM for the first time... It's such a huge transition, my keyboard hand gets so lost during fights that I end up barely being able to move.

[@Hybridify]

Yeah it can get hard having all the extra keys to get used to. If you have a friend that has some extra time, consider going into firing range and practicing as much moving and fighting while 1v1ing them. Might give you some good practice, otherwise the only real way to improve that is to have keybinds that are comfortable for you and just practice until you're familiar with it ❤

[@ThePeePeePooPooMan12345]

Personal tip that really helped me: If you have played keyboard and mouse for a while, but not apex on keyboard and mouse, something you can do is make the keybind a from apex match your keybinds in a game you are used to. Ex: I made firemode swapping v, fast melee f, inspect weapon h (I played phantom forces on Roblox.) Idk if this is helpful, because I was a Nintendo switch player until this morning 🤷‍♂️

[@Hybridify]

Reusing keybinds across games is super helpful because it's a lot easier for your brain to remember what's already familiar , (r to reload for example) that's a great tip

Okay, I never make comments like this and I would never lie about doing something spectacular BUT I took the advice of this video and lowered my aim down to 2.0 on a DPI of 800. The first game I did after dropping my mouse sensitivity, I accomplished something I have never done in an Apex legends game before and I took out an entire squad by myself in succession. After that, my mid to long range aim was like a laser. All my shots were dead accurate and the only reason I went down In that game is because me and my only squad partner got sandwiched between two squads. I got 4 kills and at least 6 knocks for that game too. Thank you for this video.

[@Hybridify]

Wow. So awesome to hear that! Hope you enjoy your newfound accuracy! And don't be afraid to play around with it and adjust it if you feel in later games that you're too slow or too fast, it's all about being comfortable. Glad to hear i could help! ❤

It’s really rough since I m switching from controller, being decent at it and semi high ranked, to m&k. I feel like m&k could make me an even better player, but being a better player with controller, the game puts me up against players that are better, which makes it hard to play as m&k because I’m so bad at it right now. My random teammates tend to get upset and I die very easily.

[@Hybridify]

Yeah I was new to PC when I started so it was a bit different. If you feel more comfortable, you can make a second account to practice mnk on so the lobbies aren't so hard, but I think your harder lobbies will just give you better practice against better players

[@Hybridify]

I haven't used a 240Hz yet so I don't have any good recommendations for you, mine is a 144Hz. I would just recommend something with low latency and if you're doing video/photo editing you want to pay attention to the color and display specifications because most high end gaming monitors give up deep color/quality for speed. Maybe get a dedicated gaming monitor and then one for photo/video editing so you don't have to compromise

[@MrKutamoz]

Found this video very helpful, my only thing is I'm great with my the keys on my mouse to the point I have most things set on it, I also have small hands. Switching from a controller is hard cause I'm so fluid with a controller. Are there downsides to having my mouse buttons controller my ult, tactical, heals, and etc? I feel super slow trying to "reach" on a keyboard compared to moving my thumb to a spot I know. I do come from having keybinds for different main spell on wow so it just feels comfortable to me.

[@Hybridify]

The only thing is just that whenever you have to press a button on a mouse, you want it to not mess up your aim during a fight. Heals and abilities won't hurt to be on a mouse if you're comfortable, as long as you can click those buttons without changing your mouse grip and having to reposition your hand!

Great video, was looking for something like this tutorial. What moise do you recommend for a starter mouse?
