    I’ve been changing my sens for a long time because I had to find the right stuff. I did finally so I’ve been improving. It’s been a crazy journey from switching! Everyone take vermax’s information it’s well worth to switch

    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

    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

    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.

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?

    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.

    I actually started playing Fortnite last season and kept switching back and forth. I really like the feeling of keyboard and mouse. I will most probably stick to keyboard and mouse, but rn I kinda just want to play fortnite as a good casual player. I just wanna build good and have good aim but thats just of rn.

    said you were gonna show sensitivity etc settings but didn't. anyways I just got a kb/mouse for my PS5 for Fortnite a week ago. my aim is a problem that I can't get under control yet. its still shaky. I'm torn between getting a TV that does 120 hz or just building a PC to game on. I'm a Mac guy and the thought of running Windows again hurts my head.

    i recently got a pc and play fortnite on kbm from being on controller pretty much my entire life and it is difficult tbh. im probably below average and its crazy that people play kbm and play so good.
