Seamless controller + keyboard mouse inputs
|
Can we have seamless controller + keyboard mouse inputs?
I like to do more combat/farming/grinding with the comfort of controller but like to loot/navigate menus and other tedious and uncomfortable gameplay/actions which are irritating to do with gamepad, with mouse and keyboard. If the limitation is due to the different UI/View layout between controller/console players and PC players. I propose that instead of picking the control scheme at the option menu in character selection. Let us pick which UI/View opt into and allow seamless controller, keyboard/mouse integrated play. Happy to play with the PC UI layout/view and play with both mouse/keyboard and controller Last bumped on Jan 20, 2025, 7:58:49 AM

Came here to suggest this as well. Love using controller to play, and mouse to sort gear/sell/slot gems/etc. That hybrid setup is one of the things D4 does a great job at. These games have lots of inventory which is infinitely easier with a mouse, along with chatting to friends with keyboard. But I also love using controller for gameplay. Hopefully this can be added at some point.

Yes, it would be great if this can be added. Every ARPG I've played allows me to seamlessly switch.

I would also love to have this Feature. The gameplay feels very good on controller but i want to be able to do menuing and inventory with keyboard and mouse

They say that multiple times... it will be possible but not in early access.

" Where did they say this? I for one am worried because this was *the* chance to change this. I initially bounced off of PoE1 because the way it and PoE2 right now did controller support is unplayable. And my account is from november 2013. I thought after a decade they figured it out. D4 PC is so far still the quality standard in this regard. While they do a similar thing of having a dedicated controller based UI, it is reserved for console versions only. PC players get the PC ui and its optimized for controller/mouse navigation at the same time. Having two completely different looking UI setups seems like more work. |

Adding on, I'd like them to allow every single function that has a hotkey in the game to be rebound.
- I no longer have a keyboard with a numpad, how do I zoom the map? - Why are mousewheel up/down treated specially and not as any other key, usable as a key for any shortcut function. Especially when using WASD movement, I'd like to utilize every single possible key that I have available on my right hand for skills. (This is why controller is superior to wasd, one finger on left hand for movement, 4 left for skills) - Allow all keys on a keyboard/mouse/controller to be used for shortcuts. Fully free rebindable keys on every peripheral. And for the disabled people out there, allow any mix of controller/mouse/keyboard at the same time. This is an area where D2R/D4 are kind of a letdown, you can't use for example left stick and mouse at the same time. Yeah cool, it transitions seamlessly without you needing to log out and change an option in the settings menu, but still it's either controller or mouse and keyboard. While it's not an issue to able bodied people, disabled people often times rely on control scheme solutions that think outside the box. Last edited by EXECRUTR#3905 on Dec 9, 2024, 2:56:59 PM

" Nailed it, I came here to post some of this but fair play. *BUMP* |

*Bump*
I have nerve damage in my elbow and hand, PLEASE make this a thing! The ergonomics of a controller would help me SO MUCH |

This should have been one of the priorities for the EA to me, how and why did they not focused on this is beyond me
