The Best Keybinds!! (EASY TO USE & OPTIMAL)👀

[@grifffv]

I've seem lots of people who have really weird binds before, and they just call them "optimal" but they never explain why they use these, or why they are better, THIS video does all that. I think that I will stick with my current binds, because a big change can be hard at the start, but I am still constantly switching my sense around and I think you might have just found me a perfect sense🎯. Thanks for the great tips like always Reid!

[@reidtheninja]

Of course man! Thanks for a real in depth comment. It makes me realize what I’m doing good on in my videos, that way I know what to focus on

[@adamlog4598]

I use wasd and the more important a key bind is, the closer I put it to wasd. I use a side mouse button for the shotgun (first slot), C for AR (second slot), and 345 for other slots which are more comfortable to press then 1 and 2. For building, Q is wall and G is roof, other two structures are my other 2 side mouse button. That way doing 90 s and building fast isnt a challenge. And like that I can put the important keybinds close to wasd like edit being F and interact is classic E. Inventory is R and map is T and reloading is just scroll down which is super easy and natural. Scroll up is pickaxe if you are wondering. I personally would never switch to uhjk , I'm just saying for the people in the comments trying to find the best keybinds, make the pickaxe, shotgun, search, and edit buttons the most comfortable to press, other weapons, builds, inventory and map should be the next closest, and so on, until you reach the unimportant binds like repair walls which can be further away like H for me. And with this, everything is much more comfortable to reach like crouch and slide being shift. And yes I dont even use control. This took so long what do You think? Edit- wait i didn't know fortnite registers sideways scrolling Ill try that

[@reidtheninja]

Mouse button for shotgun?! That's a hot take, but I see the vision

[@adamlog4598]

@@reidtheninja yeah the sniper button specifically. Other two side mouse buttons are still free for builds tho. I mean it's really easy and quick which is important for shotgun

[@adamlog4598]

@@reidtheninja and I mean if you think about it the fact that I don't use keys like 1,2, tab, caps lock, control, the two buttons between X and shift (whatever those are for you), and more, is pretty good. If something is just a little too far and hard to press I'm not using it lol. Like I couldn't even use Ctrl to crouch for example. I understand exactly why your binds are very optimal but there's 0% chance I'd ever get used to it XD

[@J4D3_UwU]

i use an azeron so i haven’t got the chance to try this but i kinda came up with something that sounds cursed asf but pretty optimal, jump and crouch with your pinky, move left and right with your ring finger and move forward and back with your middle finder, that leaves your index and thumb free for anything while giving you full movement

[@reidtheninja]

I have heard of other people using something like that. Def cursed, but I see the vision 🙏

[@Enea_Christ]

There’s actually a simple way to fix the problem of moving to the right when you edit. You just gotta bind a second button for your movement keys on your thumb. For example I edit with F and I also use C to move to the left and V to move to the right in addition to my standard wasd movement. I’m pretty sure that MrSavage does this as well

[@reidtheninja]

Wow I had never thought of that

[@1907-murat]

There are optimal binds. You can press Q to move to the right since you can‘t move left and right at the same time.

[@Frosty5kFN]

Yea savage does do that

[@MrThe-O]

Should i use this keybinds im planing to switch keybinds but my mouse is isnt like urs so idk how to use that type of keybinds

[@reidtheninja]

I'd recommend it because you'll still have more keys by your pinky and thumb on the right side of the keyboard to use another key instead of a mouse button

[@Its_Army29]

I use ctrl for crouch and slide. What did you use for crouch before u swapped and after?

[@reidtheninja]

I think I talk about it in the vid. But C before and then after I believe it’s comma maybe

[@HappytimejobPranauvJ]

Hi, i’m not sure what i should use for my floor and stairs because i don’t have the same mouse as you do. I have the roccat kain 100

[@T0rrre1]

If u have ur thing on full screen instead of windowed full screen it reduces imput delay

[@reidtheninja]

Yeah, but I also switch tabs so often that full screen is not worth it since it is not as smooth

[@T0rrre1]

Ok

[@Gsharp-gw2sj]

Wouldn't the left alt be the same thing as spacebar?

[@reidtheninja]

No since it's too far. It would be the same if left alt was under the c key instead of being under the x key

[@lightning1159]

the thing with taking walls doesn't work as when a wall is destroyed no other wall can be placed in that same spot for 0.15 seconds and it always gives the walls randomly to one of the people that tried to place it in that time

[@reidtheninja]

That's what I thought, but I still like it anyway

[@Pro78BH]

I stopped playing fort, but I still watch you because ur the best youtuber❤

[@reidtheninja]

Haha thank you man, that means a lot

[@BeaminZ]

Honestly you only need to strafe to the left when editing because then you get a right hand peek if you strafe to the left so you can still use an index finger edit bind.

[@reidtheninja]

There's some more situations where being able to move right and edit is helpful. No reason to take away a direction when you don't need to

[@lightning1159]

I highly suggest you try wasq movement (q for going right) as you only need 2 fingers to move and you have your pointer finger for build or edit binds edit: also you could use those binds (d and e) instead of mouse buttons

[@reidtheninja]

I did try it for about a day. I didn't give it a good chance, but I didn't enjoy playing like that tbh. Thank you for the suggestion though

[@IGLMrMan]

I play with YHGT movement which is basically WASQ and it allows me to only use 2 fingers for movement so I won’t ever have to take my fingers off of movement. It allows me to still edit with my index finger (fastest finger) and also use my pinky more since my hand is in the middle of the keyboard. I also use right click to place builds that way I can just hold down right click whenever I’m editing and don’t have to left click as much. Which means my ADS is on the keyboard which is F that I press with my pinky and it took a little bit to get used to but I like it now. Also your sensitivity is so high, idk how you play like that. I play on 3.6% 1500 DPI

[@reidtheninja]

And I thought I had cursed binds

[@Guskelll]

Just switched from a G502 Lightspeed to a Razer Viper V3 Pro. Interesting to see another player use the G502 though. I had Wall on G5 button and Stair on G4 button. Shotgun on the aim/sniper button. Pickaxe on G8 button. Heal on G7 button. Reload on click scroll wheel. I really miss shotgun on the aim/sniper button and pickaxe on the G8 button, it was really fluid. Way easier on the G502 to take walls edit and pump quickly. The rest of the binds were quote on quote optimal.

[@reidtheninja]

Why'd you switch?

[@Guskelll]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@reidtheninjaThe main factors are the weight, ergonomic shape, and squishy click feel. I wish there was a slightly lower profile, lightweight, and symmetrical mouse option with button placement just like the G502 and G402. G502 Lightweight ❌ Symmetrical ❌ Click feel ❌ Low profile ❌ Plenty of buttons ✅ Razer Viper V3 Pro Lightweight ✅ Symmetrical ✅ Click feel ✅ Low profile ✅ Plenty of buttons ❌ I haven’t swapped out the skates on the G502 though. That would make a substantial difference in glide. The skates it comes with are horrible.

[@FNCS_L1am]

I use Q for wall, V for ramp,C for floor, And X for cone. Is that bad?

[@reidtheninja]

I would hate using those binds personally 😂 but if you’re used to them and like em, then it should work just fine

[@icbachangingmypsn]

I hate pressing v and x, I use something similar to video, but I use k (d) for edit and I have a steelserues mouse with that aim button and use that for going right, gives full range of movement and easy edits

[@wh0o00]

Can you make a video for best keybinds for players who play with their index finger on the W key? I have been playing like this for years but feel quite limited and am wondering if it is a good idea to change over to these keybinds and completely re learn how to play the game or if there are some optimal keybinds that I can use for my current way of playing. Another problem is that I don't really have big hands or long fingers so it is harder for me to play and I tilt my keyboard 85 - 95 degrees so it more comfortable.

[@reidtheninja]

I cannot make a video like that, since I have no experience playing like that therefor the video would be in-genuine and not help a lot of people. Thank you for the comment though. I do recommend trying something new though. Like I said I completely changed my keybinds 4 years into playing the game

[@Bluenderfire]

@@reidtheninjayou kinda already have uhjk is just wasd shifted isn’t it? If he moves his binds to uhjk then he will have access to ytre and other keys.

I use default edit and f for pickaxe, because those are my 6 and 9 keybinds for Minecraft inventory that I use and I’m used to them. It’s just that if I switch binds on Fortnite I might also have to on other 1st/3rd person games. And I’m lazy

[@reidtheninja]

Haha I did the opposite. I changed a lot of my minecraft binds to match my fortnite ones

[@Bluenderfire]

I copied most of your binds as I cannot bare hitting stuff like c v and b with my thumb, the whole uhjk concept is beautifully thought put. I use f and g for floor and cone other two builds on side buttons space for edit same as u but my friends can’t seem to understand why it’s good. I say to them the thumb is the 2nd strongest finger below index, at least for me, they respond “space for edit is cursed”. I then told them I use space for jump and alt for edit, in reality I don’t but then they were like “ohhh that’s actually smart” LIKE BRO WHAT IS WRONG UP THERE. So yeah this is amazing and the whole basis of my new binds ur such a w ytber.
