Request for Full Mouse & Keyboard Support on Consoles

Hi everyone,
As we look ahead to the release of Path of Exile 2, I wanted to raise a topic that could greatly enhance the experience for console players: full mouse and keyboard support.

ARPGs like PoE demand precision, speed, and fluid control—qualities that mouse and keyboard input naturally deliver. Whether it's targeting enemies, managing inventory, or executing complex skill rotations, the responsiveness and accuracy of M&K far surpass what a controller can offer. While controllers have their place, they often fall short in high-density combat scenarios where split-second decisions matter.

Modern consoles already support mouse and keyboard hardware, so it would be fantastic to see PoE 2 embrace this option fully—not just for menu navigation, but for core gameplay. It would bring console players closer to the PC experience without sacrificing accessibility.

What do you all think? Would you use mouse and keyboard on console if it were fully supported? Do you feel it would improve your gameplay experience?
