D2R controller players

I generally play D2R using my controller. Heresy I know.

Anyway, I often find I have to switch back to the keyboard, from the controller, when my inventory is full. Usually, this is when I’m collecting gems, charms etc

However, at this point, my horadric cube still has space. Unfortunately, it is not a simple matter of dragging and dropping the gem etc into the cube using your mouse as when you’re playing with the controller your UI takes up the entire screen. Not that you have a mouse cursor outside the menu while using the controller.

Since you only get buttons I thought an elegant solution would be to simply hold down A for the game to automatically deposit the gem or whatever into the cube (provided you have space). It’s just that it is frustrating to have to switch between controller and keyboard while farming. Sometimes I try to keep a small amount of space in my inventory so I can easily transfer gems from the inventory to the cube as I pick more from the ground, but this only works for smaller items.

Are there any other heretics in here that like to use a controller instead of a keyboard and mouse? I find a controller is much more comfortable, especially for farming. But it would be much more relaxing if I could somehow drop items directly into the cube without having to go back to the keyboard.

Dont use the cube, I leave 2x4 open in my inventory and the last 1x4 for Tombs to id stuff. I can’t stand stopping to force something in a cube, then open the cube to id it. More trouble than its worth IMO.

Press hotkey for ID tomb, it opens inventory and bam, id it. Trash? Ctrl click and move on.

Ban loot vaccuum from PC play

Fellow heretic here. I play on steam deck, and pretty much only use controller.

There is an option to bind “Loot to Cube” in the skills tab, where you find “town portal”, “throw item” and other general skills.

Works like a charm, provided there is space in the cube for the item.

I use A to pick up regularily, and left trigger+A to loot to the cube.
