How to Get the Best Binds for Apex Legends

The optimal key binds can vary from player to player, which means you’re likely to make your own personal tweaks to our previous suggestions and tailor it to your personal preferences. Here are a few tips on creating the best set of key binds for Apex Legends especially designed for you.

Maximize the Mouse

Today’s optimal keybinds greatly rely on maximizing extra mouse keys. Make good use of the side keys of your gaming mouse. However, take note that pressing a side button may cause you to lose a bit of accuracy when keeping your sights on your next kill.

Side buttons as seen here on a Razer Deathadder Chroma, will allow you to perform actions quickly and efficiently.

Bind Close to Your “Default” Finger Placement

The best key binds are meant to be accessible with minimal movements necessary. Do not bind frequently-used actions to keys that would require you to move your hand away from the directional keys. Obviously, anything further than three keys from a “default” finger position should be avoided.

Prioritize

Even when keeping all key binds close together, you still need to put a higher priority on the most important actions. For example, since you will be using your tactical ability more than your ultimate, it should be bound to a more accessible key (such as Q or E).

Minimize “Awkward” Binds

Some inputs can be a bit too awkward even if bound close to your default hand position. For example, assigning crouch (hold) to the C key will keep you from properly strafing sideways if you use your pointer finger to hold the key. Make sure crucial key binds do not compromise your ability to perform different important actions at the same time.

This sums up this article on how to get the best key binds for Apex Legends. Feel free to come back for more tips on this awesome new game!
