What Keyboard Does Nadeshot Use?
Updated
Nadeshot plays on a custom keyboard. In a February 2022 post on X, he said he had used Higround keyboards exclusively for the previous two years.
Key binds
The table has the full list. What stands out is how little changes between his two games.
- Shared movement keys: Crouch is on L-Ctrl and Jump is on Space Bar in both VALORANT and Fortnite. L-Shift is Walk in VALORANT and Sprint in Fortnite, so one key does the movement-modifier job in both games.
- VALORANT abilities: they sit on E, Q, C and X, with Use Object on F. Weapons are on the number row, 1 to 4, with the Spike on 4.
- Fortnite building: Wall, Floor and Stairs are on Q, F and G, all letter keys. Roof and Trap go to F4 and F5 on the function row. Rotate Building is R and Building Edit is V.
If you want to copy the Fortnite setup, your keyboard needs access to F4 and F5. That means a function row, or a layer that gives you one.

Should you buy Nadeshot's keyboard?
The one brand tied to Nadeshot's setup is Higround. In a February 2022 post on X, he said he had used its keyboards exclusively for two years. If you want to follow his lead, that is the brand to browse.
The binds are easier to copy than the hardware. They use standard keys, so they work on any keyboard that has them. The only catch is the function row for the Fortnite roof and trap binds. If you play only VALORANT, nearly any layout will do. Pick the board by the feel and size you like rather than trying to match a custom build.
