#Mixed Input support for Dying Light 2 and The Beast like Dying Light 1 had?

I loved that Dying Light 1 supported mixed input letting me use a joystick for analog movement while using a mouse for camera. Provided a best of both worlds, and best of all I loved that the UI did not flicker between keyboard and gamepad prompts like other games that support mixed input.

So I was very sad when I found that Dying Light 2 was a downgrade from Dying Light 1, since it doesn't support mixed input. So if I use mouse I lose analog movement due to being stuck with WASD keys. Or if I use a joystick for analog movement I'm stuck with worse joystick camera controls.

I would love to see an update to Dying Light 2 to match the quality of mixed input support Dying Light 1 supported, but if not and further updates of that caliber won't happen. I hope The Beast at least gets back to form when it comes to mixed input support on PC.

Yeah it's nice when games have mixed input support. You can use Steam Input to set up a joycon and end up gaming just holding a joycon in one hand and a mouse in the other. There's also small joystick mounts that go below a keyboard I've seen Fortnite players use to use their thumb for movement and free up their other fingers for binds.

Yep then there's Steam Input being used for gyro too which people will map mouse to, so they can get that Breath of the Wild or Splatoon type aiming experience in their PC games even if its not natively in the game.

Anyways hoping future Dying Light installments bring back mixed input support, since Dying Light 1 was so perfectly done.

If you happened to get The Beast and have a controller could you test to see if the game supports simultaneous mouse and gamepad? So testing if joystick on like a Xbox controller can be used to move while using the mouse to move the camera around? Thank you.

Had asked on the Beast section, but got no responses.
