Prevent keyboard and mouse from being disabled when using controller

Is there a way (outside of using external software such as xpadder or GlovePIE) to use both a controller and mouse/keyboard in Skyrim?

This similar question covers disabling the gamepad so that the mouse and keyboard can be used. However, I want to also be able to use the gamepad, and swap to keyboard/mouse without having to go into the menus.

Setting bGamepadEnable in SkyrimPrefs.ini to 0 just allows me to use the keyboard in the main menu, but does not allow me to use the keyboard during gameplay.

Check this mod out: Use both Xbox 360 controller AND Keyboard SIMULTANEOUSLY.

This text file lets you use your Xbox 360 controller and your keyboard simultaneously. This is perfect if you like to use VAC while also playing with your Xbox 360 controller. For this, you have to enable the controller in the settings menu.

What I did was use Xpadder to map the left button to \"End\" and set my VAC push to talk key as \"End\", and set it to \"Arm\" mode. So all you have to do is click the left button during gameplay and say the command to execute it.

Can you use keyboard and controller simultaneously?

WILL IT BE POSSIBLE TO USE A GAMEPAD AND MOUSE+KEYBOARD AT THE SAME TIME (ON PC)? Yes. I'm using both.

How do you adapt to keyboard and mouse from controller?

It takes two can't be played with only one keyboard of the same computer. At least one controller is needed. Switch pro controllers can in fact be used, they are supported by steam (as well as PS4, 5 and Xbox) - it took for me to find the settings. It takes two is a really cool game.

Should I play it takes two with mouse and keyboard or controller?

Simply open the Settings and have a look at the "Gamepad Mode" setting. Selecting "Legacy Controller" will give you just the DirectInput / HID Gamepad controller interface, choosing "No Gamepad" will remove any controller emulation, which should prevent any conflicts with games or other controllers.
