Controller Support Request for Diablo 3

Dear Blizzard Team,

First of all, I would like to express my deep admiration for Diablo 3. This game is truly a treasure from Blizzard, and it has been an honor to experience such an outstanding installment. The gameplay, story, and atmosphere are exceptional in every way.

However, having recently transitioned to the PC platform, I have found it challenging to fully enjoy the game using a keyboard and mouse. I sincerely hope that Diablo 3 will receive official controller support, similar to what was done for Diablo II: Resurrected and Diablo Immortal. This would make the experience much smoother and more enjoyable on PC.

I truly hope you will consider implementing this feature in the near future. It would be greatly appreciated by both longtime fans and new players alike.

Thank you very much for your time, dedication, and for creating such amazing games. I look forward to seeing this enhancement in future updates.

Best regards,

Ahmed

Congrats. The game is better on PC. I can see that you already have a level 1 necromancer. Be sure to create a new, season necromancer after 17:00, when season starts… if you wanna play season.
Forget about controller support.

I disagree, I’ve played on pc with mouse and keyboard and hated it. Without controller support I’ll only play on console.

You could always emulate the switch version. I don’t think controller support will come to PC because the console ports actually work fundamentally different from PC D3 (might as well be a different game), including the dodge function that doesn’t exist on PC, differences in how some game mechanics like nephalem glory works, etc. I prefer the console controls too but yeah.

Just the stash and inventory system alone is drastically different. I’d hate to be navigating around the PC system using a controller. Would be a horrible experience.

What’s the problem with PC? (Tendonitis and other pains? Left clicking in combat causing unwanted actions? Or…?)

It’s similar in D2R. It’s not as bad as you would think.

Just amazes me over 2 after they stopped developing and supporting D3 we still get these requests.

Enjoy what we have while we have it.

They stopped development for D2 for a LOT longer but continued later and made a remaster.

Let people have wishful thinking.

But it’s not as good as what it could be with the way stash and inventory works in the console version of D3. If D3 PC was to have controller support, I’d want the console inventory/stash management system ported over… which is something I just don’t see happening until a potential remaster.

Probably more of a preference thing… I just couldn’t get use to managing a traditional grid based inventory/stash with a controller.

I will say that combat and movement with a controller is overall, an improvement though. Builds that focus on spells like Meteor where specific location targeting is important will play better on KB/Mouse but most other skills will play better on controller for me.

You’re right, it could be better. My point is that it isn’t bad. I think D3 would be similar if it were given straight support without an overhaul.

D2R inventory is terribly slow to navigate on controller. I guess we could see something like that happening because of the xbox ally x since that’s owned by microsoft though. But it wouldn’t be very good.
