Does Confirm Edit on Release Work on Controller?
The confirm edit on release setting can be used on controller and console. This setting aims to make it easier to edit and reset for all users. However, this setting may actually see the most benefit on controller. Due to most controller players using the standard method of holding their controller, they are limited to how many buttons they can press. Due to this, the confirm edit on release setting saves an additional button press, allowing controller players to move onto a different action.
Should I Use Confirm Edit on Release?
While getting used to the confirm edit on release setting can take some time, its worth testing. By removing an extra input it inevitably speeds up how fast you can edit and reset builds in Fortnite. Allowing you to instead press another button if needed. For example, you may quickly edit and reset a wall to see around you, then begin healing straight away. While the total amount of saved time may only be fractions of a second, that could make a difference.
However, it must be said that your confirm edit on release setting is based on preference. Some people prefer leaving the setting disabled as it’s more comfortable for them to play without it.
Alternatives to Confirm Edit on Release
While many do use the confirm edit on release feature, some choose not to. As an alternative, many mouse and keyboard players prefer to use scroll wheel reset with the confirm edit option turned off. This really comes down to preference, with many players preferring not to use the confirm edit reset setting due to muscle memory.
