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

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.

you can buy a qck with stitched edges https://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-QcK-Gaming-Surface-Stitched/dp/B07KJ5V8TF?th=1

For mousepads, I know it might seem silly to pay a lot for a mousepad, but I LOVE large mousepads cause I play at low sensitivity. https://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-QcK-Cloth-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B07KJ5V8TF/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1549063799&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=steelseries%2Bqck&th=1
