As of today, Fortnite It’s still one of the biggest and most popular games on PC, and in this type of game, the Mouse It is the fundamental tool to achieve victory. For this reason, it is very important not only to have a good device, but also to configure it correctly in order to obtain the best performance, so in this article we are going to show you some tips that will improve your performance and they will help you win more games in Fortnite.
PC performance is essential for gaming, but so is your own prowess when it comes to using the tools you use to play games, in this case your keyboard and mouse. Do you notice that your mouse is slow in Fortnite? Is there a lag between your movements and what you see on the screen? Don’t worry, we will give you the solution below.
Improve your mouse performance in Fortnite
Fortnite is a game with dizzying action, so it is interesting that the movements we make with the peripherals are reflected instantly on the screen, and for this reason it is very interesting to be attentive to the mouse latency
The first thing to do to ensure that the latency between the mouse and the game is minimal is to check where you have it connected. If your PC has different types and generations of USB ports, be sure to connect it to the most recent port possible (or at least USB3.0 to have the best bandwidth and minimum latency). In any case, if you suffer from “input lag” issues with the mouse, at least try changing the port to see if it’s a problem, and avoid connecting the mouse to hubs (USB hub) or to the front ports of the case: always connect it directly to motherboard rear ports
You should also make sure that you have both the firmware like him driver mouse updated to its latest version. If you have a “branded” mouse, you can almost certainly do this from the brand’s own software, but in any case you can also do it directly from Windows. To do this, right-click on the Start button and select “Device Manager”. A window will open, in which you must search for “Mice and other pointing devices” and unfold it: you should find your mouse there.
When you have located it, right-click on it and select “Update Driver”. A window will open with a wizard that will guide you through the process, and we recommend that you select the “Search for drivers automatically” option to let Windows find the best driver and install it automatically.
The third and final tip may seem like a small thing, but it’s actually really important because in games like Fortnite it can cause quite a few lag issues, especially if you’re playing in “borderless windowed” mode. Left click on Start and select Settings (the gear icon). Then go to Devices and on the left side find Mouse. The option you need to disable is “Scroll inactive windows on mouseover”. In Windows 11, in Settings, this option is under “Bluetooth and devices”, then “Mouse”.
With these three checks, you should have better mouse performance in Fortnite, and if not, we’ll be happy to address your issues in the comments.
