Do you think there's any reason to switch to Windows? Well, we don't think so, and here's why!

      I know it’s not a solution for everyone, but this is why I dusted off my Xbox. Fortnite on Xbox supports keyboard and mouse too

        I don’t have an Xbox. Come on.

          I figured, which is why I worded my comment the way I did.

          It’s an option worth considering for games that are incompatible.

            I mean, if the option is “just have a separate device that runs a Microsoft OS”, it might as well be my desktop.

              I don’t exclusively mean Xbox. Playstation, Nintendo consoles, take your pick.

                I get that, but the suggestion is still to have a dedicated device to play Fortnite and that’s exactly what I’m doing, the device just happens to be a PC running Windows.
