Ability to use Controller and Mouse/Keyboard at the same time

Diablo 4 does this, alongside everything else on a controller you could possibly think of, PERFECTLY. Path of Exile controller support is absolutely pathetic and trash tier. I love this game, I love POE1 which I've played since official launch and I love POE2, but there are so many issues related to controller right now that I would've quit the game over it if it werent for how incredibly fun it is despite all the frustration.

-Can't inventory manage properly (why change this from poe1)
-Can't trade people properly (why change this from poe1)
-Both melee abilities and ranged/spells suffer from extremely bad auto targetting, whiffing, targetting non existant enemies/objects, it even prioritised dead enemies over living ones right in front of me
-Can't even cast minion offering spells as they miss my own minions somehow?????

Sorry for going slightly off-topic.

Add simultaneous mixed input/whatever system Diablo 4 has(instantaneous swapping between MKB/controller that triggers by simply touching one or the other, with non perceivable delay, so like sub 100ms) PLEASE!

yeah I love playing with controller, but the inventory management and other stuff is horrible. why not let us use keyboard to do that stuff. I only want to fight with controllerr

Just tried out controller and it is quite good. The only downside is inventory management which stinks in comparison to mouse/keyboard. It would be great if one could use mouse/keyboard alongside the controller for exactly this reason. Why is this not possible?!?

there need to be separate games for controller and keyboard/mouse.

f.e. not being able to disable the crutch of autoaiming which got introduced for joysticks' limited abilities compared to a mouse is horrible.

poe was designed for kb/mouse and every concession those users have to swallow so the game can be played from the sofa or bed with a joystick is making it less attractive for that target group.

i ever envied ggg's courage to just do stuff other. companies didn't dare to do and somehow make it work with new ideas, but this one is a dead end except they make it a total "arcade/jump'n run bling bling gold game".

because i hate joysticks with passion for playing fps or arpgs, i bought one for a flight simulator i played 15 years ago and would rather throw it away than to waste any batteries on it.

i didn't touch diablo 4 when it's been released cause it felt like a cheap and ugly arcade game best played with a joystick.
you play as if you're nailed to a place and have no freedom of movement, it's like you're bound on a stretchband to your old location.

poe2 is borderline close to the same problem because of joystick compatibility, they would have to autowarp you into a location (f.e. with lightning warp)you maybe not want because joysticks allow you only to point into a certain direction

I'm also supportive of mixed inputs. I've played nearly 100 hours with a controller now. It is pretty good, and you get used to it, but inventory management is still far from perfect.

Yesterday, my Azeron Cyborg 2 arrived. I didn't buy it exactly for this game, but it could be very nice for it. The main reason I bought it is that I like and support different controller styles. I already have an original Azeron and used Black Friday to modernize it. COD was great with it!

If not possible (right now), give us please at least working auto-select and on-the-fly switching.
