Fortnite Keybind Tips

Here are some general tips about binding your keys! Remember that comfort is the most important aspect of setting up your binds.

Find the best keybinds that work for your hands! Don’t just use a set of keybinds because a particular pro uses them. They might work well for them because they have big hands or longer fingers. If you’re particularly young, you might have shorter fingers and struggle to reach certain keys. Your pickaxe doesn’t need to be bound to a particularly important key. You do take it out quite often, but it’s rarely a stressful situation when you do. Some players swap it to a key like X which isn’t a normally used bind. This allows you to move your weapon keys to 1 - 5 rather than 2 - 6. If you are using Sprint By Default, you can use the Left Shift key for one of your binds. It’s a conveniently placed key and is useful for a variety of different options. Tab is another key that should be utilized, whether it’s for your map or your inventory. Consider using Caps Lock as an option, it’s severely under utilized and is very reachable. You rarely see anyone using it, when it’s one of the closest keys. It can be a good key for your map or inventory.
