Something basic - KBM SUPPORT!

While I know that both the Xbone and PS4 have OS-level implementations and varying levels of support for KBM peripherals, surely there are ways to offer KBM usage for the game? Not only are more and more games pushing updates that add support for KBM during gameplay, but it actually works rather well with the correct implementation. Even Warframe has full KBM support on consoles now, allowing for finer control and aiming. This changes the need for a minimalistic HUD, it opens up access to quite a few skills and combos that were previously difficult or impossible to offer with just a controller, and it would feel that much closer to playing on PC. As one of my friends put it, playing PoE on console as it is now just feels like playing a freemium version of the same game but with a missing leg. Floaty, inaccurate, slow, and the HUD absolutely drives me mad. Seriously, why is it so small and minimalistic? Was that the general desire from console players?

Bottom line, we need KBM support on console. This would offer the complete experience for the console platform, you could have a simple choice when you launch the game that determines which load list is used, and it would bring us one step closer to the dream: cross-platform play. When you're laid up with painkillers after surgery, you can't exactly sit in a computer chair and comfortably play games. Having the ability to sign in with your PC/Steam account and have a near-identical experience would be a dream, but that's another topic.

Rant aside, what do you think?

Something basic - get pc and play poe on mouse
This game has WAY more pressing issues than that tiny blip of a QoL change that no one else has asked for.
