I was wondering about the addition of keyboard and mouse support on console. I've been playing Terraria for a long while now and played it first on the Xbox 360 edition, but since then I transitioned over to PC at the launch of 1.3. When the update launched on console me and a couple of friends, all of which don't have a copy of Terraria on PC, were looking at playing it again. But i immediately found myself struggling with the controls on console despite adding custom key binds.
I know that i may cause balancing issues, especially in multiplayer and PVP, but i feel like it would be great if the option was available to players. Keyboard and mouse support would remedy one of the bigger problems with console Terraria, menu navigation and building. As someone who builds a lot I find the amount of time it takes to complete projects is significantly amplified by how long it takes to navigate through the menus and overall it feels unintuitive to use. Credit where its due however I probably wouldn't find it so hard to use if i hadn't swapped to PC. the implementation of keyboard and mouse support would make it easier for PC players to get more invested in console Terraria and would probably encourage more people to make the jump to console if they can play in their preferred way.
I definitely see the issues with it especially that it would take a while to implement and bug test, but also in terms of the balancing issues I mentioned previously. Some solutions that I can see for this would be to disable Keyboard controls during PVP if other players are using controllers, if all are using keyboards then it wouldn't be necessary, and possibly even increasing the health/damage of enemies if the player is using a keyboard and mouse.
Anyway just wanted to highlight some of my feelings towards the console port of Terraria, absolutely love the game and hoping that we see some more updates soon!
