Best Fortnite Gaming Mouse
After much research and trying to understand why some places recommend one mouse over another for Fortnite we decided to do a bit of number crunching and compile as many of the lists together and run the numbers.
We focused on specifically what was recommended as the "best" gaming mouse for fortnite. Many of these articles have some good suggestions, and some out there options.
I will point out that the articles span a long time frame, from when the game was released until the present (August 2019). So you will understand that not all the articles could recommend the latest and greatest that the market has to offer or even some of the up and coming brands.

Specs aside, our recommendation is simple, find something that suits your play style and importantly is comfortable for those long gaming sessions. There is no point spending your money on a mouse that is uncomfortable to use, or might lead to RSI. And just because someone (like an esports player) uses something does mean it will work for you. If at all possible go to a store, Yes a real physical store and try one, or try your friends.
The gaming peripheral market is exploding with new and interesting brands that make it a mind field to navigate. All the marketing aside, it's no wonder these mice have been recommended so many times.
