Seamless swap between Controller & Keyboard/Mouse - Please?

I really like playing with controller, but too many things are frustrating to manage on it; Passive tree, significant skill changes, dump tab, 3to1 recipes, etc.

I usually lump these tasks together and log out and switch to mouse/keyboard to address these tasks.

This friction element makes the game annoying to play, constantly running into situations that would be soo much smoother if I could just use KB&Mouse/Controller seamlessly.

Everyone is aware of this, you are aware of this, I know it's being worked on, however I'm particularly frustrated by this for the following reasons:
1) D4 & LE already have this.
2) It was talked about months ago and in regards to it's implementation the word 'soon' was used. Unless I'm making this up but I don't think I am because I haven't stopped thinking about it. I CTRL + F every patch notes looking for it's implementation and don't find it.

Playing PoE with controller is soo nice and relaxing, until it's the exact opposite when I have to loot a large map, manage my dump tab, or want to switch passives/skill setup and have to log out, log back in, try to handle everything that's 10x easier on mouse/keyboard, then log out, log back in, and play again.

I know it's being worked on, I know we're all aware, I think PoE1/2 are amazing games, I never post anything or complain, but I want this 3 months ago

When poe2 first dropped I started on controller, and loved the flow. I mainly use M&K for most games, and it's nice to be able to sit back from the desk sometimes. I think I made it to like level 15 on my first character before saying fuck it and just perma-switching back to M&K. Navigating the menus, trees, etc was so clunky I just couldn't deal with it anymore.

I distinctly remember them mentioning that they were "working on it" waaay back within like the first month of release, but not much since then. Wild it's not an option because so many games are compatible with dual input nowadays.
