Seamless controller + keyboard mouse inputs

Lookup JoyToKey. You can map every button as a keyboard input. So for movement, you can map the stick to WASD and so on. I play with a Wii nunchuck in my left hand and the mouse in my other and it's very comfortable to play like this. So basically the game thinks you're just using a keyboard and mouse and will use the default PC UI.

If not seamless at least let us switch it in the options menu during game. A lot of times you lose your progress when you leave the game and it's extremely frustrating. It's especially frustrating playing mkb and getting to a longer boss fight and realizing you really need the controller.

Yes this is needed and is a huge improvement to quality of life for the game and community

This really needs to be a priority. I don't want to make comparisons, but I feel like I should, because another widely-known ARPG in the market released in 2016 has seamless controller/keyboard&mouse input detection.

If something can be done in 2016, then it's not unreasonable to ask for this for a game released in 2024. Many games released on Steam (not just ARPG) can auto-detect input method and switch on the fly. Just doesn't make sense that such a modern, beautifully designed game is still outdated in its UI.

Both for poe1 and poe2 this is a necessity. Hope to see that feature soon.
