### Issue Type (Required): Other ### Issue Description (Required): I know this may not be considered a “bug” by some, but it’s behavior that doesn’t work the way you’d expect. In many games, you are able to use analog thumbstick input (say for movement) while still using the mouse. The use case for this is something like the Azeron Cyborg II. In Darktide, you cannot aim with the mouse while actively inputting with the controller. Maybe a simpler way to implement this rather than rewriting a ton of logic is to simply have an option “Use mouse with controller” that disables the right thumbstick input/auto aim and allows aiming with the mouse. Thank you! ---

May I ask how you envision playing Darktide like this? I can’t imagine how you’d have access to enough buttons with (presumably) right hand on the mouse and left hand on a controller! ---

The Cyborg II is a freaky looking device that has an absurd amount of bindable buttons (20?) and an analog thumbstick. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/fatshark/original/3X/1/7/17ab5052298652e49457d64772cca7bacbcbe9f5.jpeg) ---

I use a RAT5 mouse which has 6 fully programmable and macro-able buttons and I setup Warframe to play like this. It would be nice for Darktide to do the same for the times I want to play higher difficulties and aim properly with a mouse. As it is, I use a controller on PC because my old wrists cant take it anymore. ---
