@GGG Controller Support Parity Between Path of exile 2 and 1
|
I know it cant be setup 1 for 1 due to the mechanical differences between the 2 games but a lot of it can be changed, adapted to feel the same or similar at least. Please guys with the latest announcement of rotating 4 month cycles between the games, having to bounce from 2 vastly different button layouts(UI too) every few months is going to be torture. Or open up us to customize our own would work too. cheers guys great work on poe2

Switching interfaces is not that deep

it kind of is, if 25% of consoles and even more if you count pc controller players make up the player base. If any those players decide to give poe1 a try from poe2 and immediately met with a janky alien and ugly layout, they'll probably pass. Does it affect you? probably not doesnt mean it isnt deep

" There is no way its anywhere near 25% hehe if that's what you are trying to say. Controller users on PC for this game are non-existent, and console players are new and make up a teensy tiny fraction of the playerbase. Wouldn't be surprised if we are talking much closer to 1% or potentially even less. As a non-controller user, what actually changes in terms of functionality? Presumably you can still map skills to pretty much the same buttons across both games right? Starting anew....with PoE 2 Last edited by cowmoo275#3095 on May 31, 2025, 9:25:52 PM

I would like to be able to use controller for combat and keyboard/mouse for inventory management.
Tore my rotator cuff around December and playing on keyboard/mouse makes my shoulder hurt just from having to be more elevated. Didn't have any playing poe2 on controller. Just the usual pain of playing poe2. Inventory in poe1 is terrible with controller. Doesn't matter in poe2 since nothing drops. |

" straight from Jonathan himself in the last interview, 50% steam client 25% poe client 25% consoles on top with no ps5 release. So this should be considered a high priority issue, out of all the arpg poe1 has the worst controller experience, poe2 fixed that |

I would love for the pc controller scheme in poe2 to be ported to poe1! My hands aren't able to handle poe1 like they used to and the poe1 controller scheme is frustrating. Not even sure if I can play this upcoming league without a controller but its just so bad on 1. maybe we'll get lucky!
