Hello,

I would like to make a suggestion similar to the “deathless” annotation, but for the use of a controller.

There could be two options for the input method:

• Mouse + Keyboard

• Controller

Justification:

Due to hand problems, unfortunately I can't play with a mouse for a long time. That's why I use a controller (on the PC).

Unfortunately, this leads to numerous impairments compared to playing with a mouse and makes you significantly slower in direct comparison. There are currently the following (major) disadvantages:

• Inventory and menu management is a disaster

• Opening menus always pauses the game (so you can't open the inventory or skills while running)

• When changing zones, there is always a prompt for instance selection, even in SSF and if it is the first instance for the area

I realize that this is probably a personal problem, but due to the otherwise good support for controllers in PoE2, I assume that a clear labeling of the input method would also give other speedrunners on consoles a motivation to participate. And there probably was a big influx of new PoE console players that for now realistically can't compete.

It doesn't have to be a separate category, but a label like “deahtless” would be great and apart from the one-time effort to set up such a label, I don't see any disadvantages?

I have a (deathless) run with Ranger for 1:16 with a controller, but I'm hesitant to submit because it can't keep up in direct comparison.

What do you guys think?
