If you are serious about learning where the "small differences" happen that everyone talks about, I will try to explain them. I hope this gives you a better understanding of how games and technology works "behind the scenes".


Okay, first we are going to start with your question. Short answer: Yes, probably. Important part is finding/knowing what the right monitor is. I chose the 27" version of this monitor for my gaming PC. Two important features of it for us is the 1ms (millisecond, 1000 per second) response time and 144hz refresh rate. (NOTE: "standard" monitor response time is 5-20ms, with most TV's being slower (10-50ms). "standard" refresh rate for monitors and TV's is both 60hz.)


The response time is the time it takes for the TV to display the input you gave the game console, and the refresh rate is how many times the picture is updated on the TV each second. Also make sure your TV is set to Progressive scan and not Interlaced (the 720p, 720i, 1080p 1080i difference). In most cases(almost all) 720p is actually better than 1080i if you have an older TV that doesn't support 1080p by chance. SO, REMEMBER: Low ms input lag is best, and high hz refresh rate is best. Double Important: PS4 and Xbox One maxes out at 60fps in games. (hz is the limit for fps, so console Fortnite maxes at 60fps but PC maxes out at 240fps+ for top-of-the-line gaming PCs.) This is the #1 reason that "console pros" have still switched over to PC and play with controller. I'm not in any way trying to shame console players, I'm just trying to clearly explain what the "disadvantages" are and why. Because they directly relate to the discussion at hand.


Quick History Lesson: Basically, TV's have had a long history of different "input lag" issues plauging not ony cheaper TV's, with many having ridiculously long input lag. While trying to google a few examples I found something better, a reddit post specifically talking about reducing input lag on PS4. Bonus: I also found another good link comparing TV refresh rates so you can see how much they can vary, with 10-15ms being the standard good score, and some TV's reaching 140ms input lag when they aren't in Game Mode (another setting to check on the TV).

So, what your goal of investigating from here is researching your TV's model and seeing if you can find information about its input lag times and compare them to the numbers here. Input lag is the first "issue" you want to solve, if you have it (My personal metrics would be, if it has higher than 20ms input lag then it is the first thing you should replace, but if it only has 5-10ms input lag it's not worth upgrading to 1ms unless you are upgrading all the way to a gaming PC). Alright, so hopefully I clearly explained how and why input lag and refresh rate are and what you can and can't do about it in your current situation.

Also is your internet Wired or Wireless to your PS4? If it is wireless you need to switch over to wired. I might write another post about that if you are genuinely interested. :)

Edit: Bonus if your house is cold a lot, you can usually buy big packs of these hand warmers for a big discount, I think I got like 15 of these Large-Sized hand warmers for like $4.50. This is a secret Korean strategy not many people know about, but warming up your hands before your matches so you have better blood flow can make a big difference in how quickly/precisely you are able to execute maneuvers. All my gamer friends try to go home with a pack or two of my hand warmers, and yes the big ones last for 18 hours (I like them better than the smaller 10 hour ones).

Lol accidentally deleted my response, but sorry for the late response. Here's the build I came up with. This will be good for fortnite and other daily tasks you would normally do on a computer. It's similar to what I have now just some different brands and a better SSD. Its also good enough to run most AAA titles on pretty good settings too if you want to play some other titles in the future. You can find a different case if you want because most of them are pretty affordable and you can find one in any color you want. Just make sure it's at least a midtower so it'll fit your motherboard. You'll still need a 144hz monitor which will run you about $200 here's the one I use. Then you'll just need a mouse and keyboard. I recommend for a good budget mechanical keyboard the K552 as for the mouse just find one that you like which should be less than $50 unless you go with a newer one I recommend a logitech mouse or a razer. Like I said before I would go to a microcenter if you have one near you because odds are you'll be able to find some cheaper prices than whats listed on pcpartpicker. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Here's the thing about controller vs. keyboard and mouse (KBM). KBM has a steeper learning curve, but once you're comfortable with it, there's significantly more room for unlocking your skill potential.

I started playing Fortnite casually mid-season 3. I'm an ex-PS4 player who switched to keyboard and mouse on PC when I decided I wanted to get more into the competitive aspect of the game about 7-8 months ago, at the start of season 6. I grew up in a laptop family (GOATed on my mom's trackpad in COD4), so I wasn't even comfortable using a mouse for general use.

The first week was torture, honestly. My arm fatigued quickly. It felt clunky and gave me a headache. KBM is an objectively less comfortable and more physically-demanding experience than controller (although you get used to it). I probably played an average of 2-5 hours a day for a month (but this was before Creative was a thing). After the first week, I felt like I was familiar with my keybinds and didn't have to think about what my hands were doing as much, but it wasn't until about a month later that I felt I was really confident and in control.

​

Here are some tips to streamline the process:

  • Don't use scroll-wheel for inventory-switching or build-switching. Just don't.
  • Don't stress over keybinds too much. Just use the tried-and-true keybinds of some established pro. Once you understand how binding works better, you can gradually tailor them to your own needs.
  • Pick a good sensitivity to start with. You can cop a pro's settings for this as well. Personally I don't recommend going straight to low sensitivity (400 DPI, 0.1 in-game). You'll kill your arm if you jump straight in. I'd recommend 800 DPI on 0.1, and then adjust once you're comfortable with it. I used 800 on 0.1 for a long time and then switched to 400 on 0.1 for a few months. I ended up switching back to 800 on 0.1 though, but that's personal preference.
  • Get a good mousepad. You don't even need to worry about your actual keyboard and mouse right off the bat. The mousepad I bought initially was good but way too small. I currently use the SteelSeries QcK, Stitched Edge Cloth (Large) and love it.
  • Grind creative. There's no doubt this is the fastest way to learn. You'll probably be able to pick up on KBM a little faster than me since Creative wasn't a thing back when I switched, as I touched on in a previous point.
  • Give it time and keep an open mind. I immediately regretted switching to KBM when I played my first game on PC. It sucked, and I was completely out of my element. You just have to power through.

    ​

    Edit: To answer your last question, I'd say it took me about two weeks to be better on KBM than I was on controller, but I wasn't very good on controller. If you're a "controller god," it could take 1-2 months, but it's hard to say.

This is what I got and I love it. It had one stuck pixel but I wiped it with a microfiber cloth and it goes away. Otherwise it's great quality for a 27" 144hz at a pretty good price. That's if you're not dead set on 1440p tho.

u/xanietyFN · 1 pointr/FortniteCompetitive

$100 can get you a Glorious Model O and a cheap mechanical keyboard. Just got a model O yesterday and it's amazing - can't recommend it enough. You can get a large cheap mouse pad for like $10-20.

Mechanical Keyboard (uses cheap Chinese switches (MX Cherry Blue equivalent), but it's perfectly fine) - $30

Model O (Glossy white is the only one that's not sold out) - $60, but came to $67 for me with shipping and tax. Super quick shipping too - from Utah to NY in 2 days.

Honestly I would try and save another 100 dollars and get this 144hz monitor. You will be happy you did it. You gotta trust us on this one.

You need a better hard drive. 100% disk usage is what is making the buildings/textures not load in. As far as fps, the only fix to this is getting better specs. The hard drive I recommend is this: https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Cache-Desktop-Drive-WD10EZEX/dp/B0088PUEPK/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_1?crid=3RTL7HA4RL1M1&keywords=western+digital+-+caviar+blue+1+tb+3.5%22+7200rpm+internal+hard+drive&qid=1549660251&s=Electronics&sprefix=caviar+%2Celectronics%2C162&sr=1-1-fkmrnull. It is cheap and will help fix your issue with 100% disk usage.

The G203 is the best budget mouse you can get without sacrificing a good sensor and the Qck+ is a good mousepad used by pros in every esport for a good price

Idk about keyboard tho

I have been using these for a few months now and they are amazing. Simply replaces your battery cover on your elite controller and has and amazing feel. You'll also never accidentally touch a paddle again. https://www.amazon.com/ELITE-Paddle-Control-System-Directional-D-Pad/dp/B06XCVSMWM/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

More RAM and bigger SSD and there’s a 99.99% chance these are higher quality parts than in the prebuilt, and it has a PSU that is definitely better

I have this monitor and it’s absolutely perfect. Nickmercs also uses this monitor.
If you wait till Black Friday Best Buy will probably have it on sale for $200 (that’s when I got mine and what the price was)

u/McFiddlecakes · 2 pointsr/FortniteCompetitive

Just chiming in here, I just barely upgraded my 60hz old thing to this 144hz. It is a good one if you want low cost and don't care about still just being 1080p. I'm loving it and there are lots of good reviews out there on it.

This is the keyboard I got. Basically was looking for the smallest and cheapest mechanical keyboard that had good reviews. I have the G403, which was pretty cheap as well, two side mouse buttons.

u/Reptar996 · 1 pointr/FortniteCompetitive

I think the most effective, and least intrusive to what you're already comfortable with, way to play with an elite controller is to get the elite scuf paddle kit. I have it and I really think it helped me take full advantage of the elite controller. The paddles are better positioned than the stock elite paddles, and they take a little bit extra, but not too much, pressure to push down. They won't really get in your way when you don't want them to. I have the left side set to be jump and edit, and the right side is build and change materials. This means I only have to move my right thumb for pickaxe and reload/trap.

u/_shabadoo_ · 1 pointr/FortniteCompetitive

I kinda feel like there aren’t enough buttons too tbh. Would something like this be good do you think? Been debating on getting it.

u/opiatesaretheworst · 1 pointr/FortniteCompetitive

Got this after getting a bunch of good feedback from the buildaPC subreddit. It was on sale for $649 for Prime day and was being sold by Amazon. Now it looks like its no longer on sale and is being sold by third party companies :/

i guess console fn can only hit 60fps so this monitor wil be overkill since its 144hz but if you ever switch to pc then this will be a high quality monitor. you can also get the 240hz one but its double the price

u/Beechman · 1 pointr/FortniteCompetitive

You can find 1080p 60Hz monitors for $100 all over the place, but if you can afford to spend $150 you can catch a cheap 144Hz on sale. If you ever plan to get a PC or upgrade to the next gen consoles its worth it to not have to upgrade again. My roommate just bought this one for $150 on Tuesday.

Well you connect the strike pack to the micro USB port that’s on the controller. Then you have to use the controller hard wired. Here’s the link

As long as you don’t drop your controller or anything. It should last a long time. Mine will be one year old in January. No issues

Honest Strikepak Review

I’ve had mine nearly a year and it’s nearly the finest accessory I’ve ever bought but there are a few things to note. It is very light and seemingly flimsy-when it’s not on the controller. Once it’s on, if you don’t take it off and on all the time-it’s sufficiently well built. The clip has three small knobs that clip into the lower 3 speaker holes. The clip is flimsy-I wish they would have made it out of metal but if you treat your shit with a little care, it’s fine. I’ve dropped mine off the couch at least 200 times, the propriety 10ft cord and accompanying shroud are perfect, the port has absolutely no play after a year and it’s probably saved the port on the actual controller from damage.

The interface is both straightforward and completely asinine at the same time. You can instantly, in-game remap buttons to paddles with a couple of button pushes. No accessory or menu or computer needed. On Red Dead, in the world-I have one paddle mapped to to horse trot and one to sprint, when I go into PvP, I swap out one paddle for dead-Eye. Takes 1 second with no magnetic accessory needed. There are two mod modes available too. The first, and included for free, is mostly for FPS’s like cod and destiny. You can make semi autos full auto, have a different profile for secondary weapons, drop shot, auto run, quick scope, etc. Kinda fun, but a real pain to setup if you change out weapons all the time. The other mod mode is a paid subscription. $15 a year. This actually is like cheating. There are specific games these mods are made for and if you wanna check it out go here I won’t go into how well these work but suffice it to say, I didn’t use them outside of a novel week and won’t be renewing my subscription for the next year.

The paddles, themselves, are a different shape than Scuf or Evil. They wrap down the sides of the protuberances on the controller and use the actual controller handles to limit throw distance. This is so important in stressful situations as you simply CANNOT press the paddle too hard. The button throw is very short and has a decent click. It’s not too firm but has just enough tactile feedback to notice.

It also has a nice feature to turn off the rumble for every game. You do need a computer to set this feature up but it’s fairly small, straightforward GUI program for windows.

If you’re an adult or someone who handles your gaming systems with some care, it’s not flimsy at all, tho if the clip does break-you’re fucked. For $38 bucks at Walmart or amazon it’s hard to go wrong
