[Suggestion] Mouse or gamepad? Why not both?

[Sida]

It is already offered, though the default settings can make it not seem so. When putting the control scheme to controller mode, it by default hides normal hotbars. When putting it to mouse mode, it by default hides controller hotbar. In both of these modes the other to that set (or all hotbar sets actually) can be made hidden or shown manually.

Other thing is keyboard for commands. On controller scheme, keyboard is by default set to go straight to chat. This can be toggled by a setting. (Can't recall now exactly where, somone better at settings-fu could add it) the biggest difference between the modes is the main menu. Mouse scheme has the little bar of red buttons while controller gets the whole screen thing.

Apart from the main menu, and few map window differences you can use all, controller, mouse and keyboard in both controller schemes. You don't even need to switch between them, the controller works just fine on mouse scheme and vice versa. It's a up to how you set things up, and which mode you want to stay in, the largest difference being the main menu.

Character Configuration -> Control Settings -> General -> Enable direct chat

With that box checked, typing automatically moves focus to the chat box. With it unchecked, typing activates corresponding key-mapped actions unless you manually select the chat box first. (That's only for the main section of the keyboard, though. Function keys as well as extras like Insert, Home, Page Up/Down and so on can activate key-mapped actions in either scheme.)
