How do I fix frame rate (FPS) drops when moving my mouse in Fortnite?

If you're experiencing low frame rate (FPS) only when moving your mouse, the most common cause is high mouse polling rate.

Mouse polling rate refers to how often your mouse updates its position to your PC/laptop. A higher polling rate should generally provide smoother movements, however, it can affect your PC's performance, resulting in FPS drops.

To find out how you can adjust your mouse polling rate, we recommend checking the documentation that came with your mouse or reaching out to your mouse manufacturer for further guidance.

The recommended polling rate range for best performance and input response is between 500Hz to 1000Hz, but we suggest testing different ranges to find what value will work best on your device.
