What is mouse sensitivity?

Mouse sensitivity is how much your mouse pointer responds when you move your mouse.

With a higher sensitivity, your pointer moves faster and goes a longer distance than you physically move your mouse. With a lower sensitivity, your pointer moves slower and requires more effort to get across the screen, but offers better precision. 

Fortnite players usually use a lower mouse sensitivity and turn off mouse acceleration to steady their aim.

What’re the ideal Fortnite mouse sensitivity settings?

When it comes to shooter games like the Fortnite Battle Royale, it’s always wise to choose your mouse sensitivity between 0.03 and 0.5. It depends on your style and preference but anything that is lower or higher than that may not work out for you.

As to the mouse sensitivity x and y in Fortnite, it’s worth noting that the majority of PC shooters are 1:1 xy sens. You can play with x sensitivity for one hour and see how you do, then increase/decrease depending on how you feel, and rinse and repeat.

Pro tip: How to improve Fortnite mouse performance?

With supportive devices and settings, pro Fortnite players also make sure their device drivers are up-to-date.

There are two ways to update your drivers: manually and automatically.

Update your drivers manually — You can update your driver manually by going to the hardware manufacturer’s website, and searching for the latest driver. But if you take this approach, be sure to choose the driver that’s compatible with the exact model number of your hardware, and your version of Windows.

OR

Update your drivers automatically — If you don’t have the time, patience or computer skills to update your drivers manually, you can, instead, do it automatically with Driver Easy. You don’t need to know exactly what system your computer is running, you don’t need to risk downloading and installing the wrong driver, and you don’t need to worry about making a mistake when installing. Driver Easy handles it all.

1. Download and install Driver Easy.
2. Run Driver Easy and click Scan Now. Driver Easy will then scan your computer and detect any problem drivers.
   
3. Click Update next to any flagged devices to automatically download the correct version of their drivers, then you can install them manually. Or click Update All to automatically download and install them all automatically. (This requires the Pro version – you’ll be prompted to upgrade when you click Update All. You get full support and a 30-day money back guarantee.)
