For people that use custom peripherals, games that support mixed input (both KBM and Gamepad at the same time) are a life saver. I use a custom peripheral (an Azeron) with an analogue joystick for movement, and KBM for everything else.

ESO is almost there with its mixed input support, but has some pretty big barriers that prevent it from being usable. To start, the UI flickers back and forth between Gamepad and KBM, necessitating the use of an addon to keep the input prompts from being seizure inducing if you're using mixed input.

Even worse, a number of inputs completely change when using Gamepad or mixed input. You are forced to use toggle sprint, you cannot move while in menus, and opening a quickslot wheel locks up your movement inputs.

Please consider changing the "Automatic" gamepad mode to support mixed input better, by keeping the inputs and UI in standard KBM mode, but still allowing analogue movement. This has been pointed out and requested by others before (https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/596327/gamepad-mode-input-enabled-ui-disabled), and while there may not be a ton of people that enjoy mixed input peripherals, the ones that do would greatly appreciate a more user friendly experience.
