Why I Switched to Keyboard and Mouse... (KBM Progression Story) *UPDATED*

[@prox4174]

this is a really nice story, i'm pretty sure some pros have started playing controller in the beginning of the game and as time when on they eventually switched to kbm. I'm pretty sure they struggled when playing kbm for the first time but got use to it eventually, great video btw

Nice story, I actually did this backwards, I started at the beginning of chapter 2 on mouse and keyboard, and played that way for a year. I switched to Valorant, and I saw some people failing to play it on controller because there is no aim assist. So I grinded Valorant and hit gold 3 on controller by learning gyro controls. 10 months later, and Fortnite adds gyro to the game. Now it's possible for a controller player to do anything a mouse player can without aim assist. I just started playing Fortnite on controller cuz I only ever played it on mouse, and I am already almost as good as I was on mouse because I have grinded gyro that long btw if anyone wants a gyro guide I have one on my yt

@@AlHashemi.Idrissi I play on controller since the original season 2, and ive always been a console guy. Now i'm building a gaming PC for the first time, do you think i should switch to KBM even after so long? As someone who played video games only on controller KBM seems so unatural to play on i couldn't do anything when i tried. It's literally unplayable for me and it feels like i will never get used to it. Do you think i should stay on controller?

Thumbs up I never play games on controller. Started playing this last year. Great advice. The only issue is host talks super f-ing weird. Probably not used to hosting/speaking. Definitely a good idea to switch over and try to get settings right.

[@bagelbuckets]

9:32 feel the exact same way. felt like u can only get so good on controller and eventually u can’t get better. Like u said that u skill cap. With keyboard and mouse, ur restarting but that skull cap is way higher and the improvement speed is way higher. So once u get up to that skill cap on kbm u are 10x better than u were on controller. And tbh, on kbm there isn’t really a skill cap. Ur always getting better. I switched and it’s worth it

In 2018 kbm on console was so bad but now it's playable and u can get pretty decent

Would kbm on next gen console with only 60fps be alright cause I feel like I have input delay with my mouse when I shoot. It might be the mouse

Hey vermax, I just came back in this chapter to Fortnite after quitting in chapter 2 season 3 and I’ve started playing on paddles and I’m improving but I want to switch to kbm. Would you recommend it in my position?

[@blur1924]

Hey im not vermax but same thing with me i also quit then went back and yes i reccomend it

[@lefty.]

definetely im just giving you a heads up. I played paddles for over a year and man you will not be close to being good as kbm or claw players. The only reason to play control is if you play claw. Other than that switch to keyboard. I hope I helped someone.

[@jetplane8245]

i love your vids is was so close to quit on kbm but you kept me holding on bc i saw you and other ppl are good and much better than controller not to hate controller

[@Gr1m_noob1]

I started playing fortnite late Chapter 3 season 2 on PC. I made a huge advancment through my seasons. Knowing how to crank 90's and now fighting sweaty people in the pit and box fights. Now currently im learning how to piece control.

[@datnerfdude]

I must say, this video is going to help lots of people who are not having the best time with their game.

[@Himothy8]

The new Xbox series s is good with kbm and there is no delay I’m pretty sure, also a good monitor could help! Don’t mark my word for this because I am getting both of these and I hope to switch to kbm bc I can quad edit on control and I’m kind of at a cap of my skill level and I could be way better on kbm.

[@kosmo3k]

This story was so amazing I loved the way you kept on moving ahead of what you where in this is real hardwork

[@Mimpski]

I played on my family xbox one s until season 8, when my dad got an gaming laptop. i downloaded fortnite on it and started playing on kbm a bit but mostly controller. I would always play against my friends and tell them i was on kbm but i was actually on controller. I started getting progress slowly on kbm. Then i quit fortnite in like chapter 2 season 4 and started playing cs go and minecraft for like 5 seasons. That way i got familiar with kbm. Then i came back to fortnite on christmas when my friend got an xbox series s and something just clicked and i was quite good. Now im a kbm player and i am dog water on controller.

[@LAMA-nathaniel]

What was your first pc and how much FPS did you get I looking-into saving up for a pc

[@Grif_17]

I played Fortnite since like 1st day of season 4 as I didn’t have anything to play it on until I got my Xbox, and I played on that since this year, and when I switched, I was already better in a week. I played around 2 hours a day until season x, where I quit for 4 seasons, which I regret, but my skill didn’t change and I wasn’t rusty. I highly recommend switching

You just inspired me to save my money for what I want and to keep on grinding on my laptop rn until i have enough money to buy a gaming pc showing my friend this video cause he plays on controller he pretty good but he probably could improve more with this encouragement and inspiration to play on keyboard on mouse.

[@MrSpongeBobFryCook]

I average 20-25 kills a game on pubs, and on ranked I like to play more aggressive so I sometimes drop 40 and 50 bombs but still only average 20-25 kills. I do this on controller (No paddles, no claw, and I'm on a ps4). I'm thinking about buying the latest ps5 and ill play claw on that. Should I get the ps5 or buy a pc? (My budget is 2.8k USD if pc). My current rank on ps4 is Champion

hey, i switched about a year or 2 ago and i got used to keybinds for building with only my keyboard buttons but im comfortable with them and feel i dont need to switch them around. and i understand what u mean abt tourneys because i play kbm on console. usually i encourage using your own made up keybinds but recently i got my first mechanical keyboard and i got the glorious model o mouse so i recently got to use side buttons. I just dont use them for building/editing i have one of them at my last slot and one as my ping button. my keybinds r wierd so i will tell u them wall - q floor - f stair - n cone - v. i only really think my stair is a wierd bind but i got used to it so i am just going to stick to those keybinds for now.

[@justjarre654]

I had almost the same settings but I suggest you put your stair and floor on mouse buttons and cone on shift. It will feel weird at first but you will eventually get faster because you don't have to move your fingers a lot, goodluck in further progression ( :
