Finally something for the non-professional casual gamer who just wants to have fun and not to beef up toons for max loot. My wrists will thank the devs who prioritized this. Thank you guys.


Casual, non-professional here, who hasn't gone past yellow maps before, and still prefers KBM. Calling KBM users "elitist" without using the term is still stupid.


Apologies if it was offensive. Not intended that way.

I am thinking about purchasing one of those foot pedals for racing games. Most of my pain comes from holding click to move or clicking a lot and a foot pedal would use different muscles. I get pain both from clicking with a mouse or using a button on xbox controller to click/move.

Also I want to point out this is an RSI issue for me and not a POE issue. Diablo 2 gives me the same amount of pain as Path of exile does.

If anyone is interested in using a foot pedal to reduce pain, xpadder might be able to make a foot pedal used as a mouse click. I have never tried this, so I would do your own research before purchasing.

I use the last free version of xpadder to be released (version 5.3) and it works with my xbox 360 controller. The only problem I have had with it is that it will crash the game when I try to buy items from vendors or list stuff for trade in my tabs. I use the mouse and keyboard for those. I haven't tried the newer paid versions, so I don't know if the newer xpadder fixed those two problems.

I am super excited about playing as much as I used to. This is a great step in that direction GGG. Love you all.


I got a 3M Ergonomic vertical mouse (like a joystick). It helps immensely with wrist pressure. Of course you trade precision and speed for the comfort. It was worth it for me since i can now play the game I love longer.
Sooo what about mouse and keyboard support for console :)

Dont do it.

It will change the problem from your Hand to your Foot. (it did for me)

Instead find Software for you Hardware which lets you "automate" running.
For example press once to start running and press again to stop running.
This reduce the strain immensely.

Been waiting on this for awhile now!! This is gonna be epic. My old tired worn out Gen X gamer hands are thanking you right now GGG. Even though i play on PS and Xbox, id love to use my PC to game on.






Hey GGG,

that's definately the thing i was w8ing for however i will w8 for legacy client support to test it

hmpf. oldie here and i can't think of a console game beside racing games and flight simulators that i would like to play.

pressing buttons and moving sticks in arpgs or fps isn't for me.
age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!
Am I the only moron that thought this is about a new support gem?
