Fortnite's Top Controller Pros: Settings Revealed

Summary

Curious how 14 of the world's best Fortnite controller players dominate? This video breaks down their exact settings and equipment. For instance, the duo Sayas and Scary, who placed 11th and won $20,000, represent a small fraction of controller players in the tournament; only 14 out of 100 pros used controllers. Sayas uses a standard PS5 controller with linear settings and 10% stick dead zones, while Scary uses a DualSense Edge with paddles and trigger stops set to 5%. The top-placing controller pro, 17-year-old Teeny from Sylvania, secured third place and $100,000 using a regular PS4 controller and exponential settings, despite having earned over $500,000 in total. Other notable players include Ree, who uses a Scuf Reflex controller and exponential settings, and Kringe, also using a Scuf Reflex with exponential settings. Controller duos are surprisingly successful, with Akira and Kurama being another example. Akira uses a DualSense Edge with paddles, while Kurama uses a default PS5 controller and plays without paddles or claw. Poach, an OG controller great, still uses a regular Xbox controller with linear settings. Even more unconventional are Curve's settings, who won FNCS as a 15-year-old using a DualSense Edge with advanced options turned off, resulting in a simplified setup. Finally, Asia players Mini Payo and Fu Koon, who made it to the finals, use a PS4 controller with a back button attachment and a default PS5 controller respectively, both with linear settings. Nalu, another Asia player, stands out by using 100% look sensitivity on a Void Gaming controller with paddles.
