Why combining controller/mouse inputs?
Some peoples love to keep the controller inputs (for easier menus navigation and buttons tooltips), with keeping the precision of the mouse and the smoothness of the left stick for movement.

Unfortunately there are lots of games that is not supporting this kind of combination

If you try to play with a full controller setup, the "mouse-like stick" emulation precision is average comparing to a pure mouse emulation and playing this way on a shooter game will not always work as intended and will be difficult to aim properly depending how the game manage de camera with the stick.

If you try to play with a full keyboard setup, the movement may be quite "brutal" for the stick and sometimes you may be confused about which button to press with the tooltips indicating which keyboard button to press. (especially during QTE sequences)

So I'm making a list of games that support the controller and I'll indicate their compatibility for combining with a mouse with further informations.

Games that does not initially support any controller or games that combining controller + mouse is not necessary (such like 2D platformer games) will not be listed.

I Hope this will be useful for you.

I can confirm that Resident Evil 4 Remake (2023) also supports Controller + Mouse.
I haven't tested the other Re games but they probably do.

Playing this game with this combo feel so great and it's the first time I've played a game like that. You can only set two extra buttons with your mouse in-game but I need 3 buttons for my mouse (Interact, Reload, and Crouch/Duck) so I have to use Logitech G Hub. The app itself has an auto detection features for many games including Re4 Remake. With controller, you can't manually configure your in-game controller layout (the game has options but most of them are for the right half of controller). I use Xbox Accessories app to program my the Xbox Elite Series 2. I don't use the back buttons at all and only change LT (L2 for PS) button to the pause button so that I can buffer aim the Giants' plagas.

BTW has anyone mentioned the app “reWASD”?

It lets you bind any key or button on any device (keyboard, controller, mouse…) to any other key or button on any device (keyboard, controller, mouse…).

I use it in almost every single game as I always use controller left hand, and mouse in right hand.

Works very very well with lots of features.
Works even if the game doesn’t allow simultaneous use of controller, keyboard and mouse. Windows games only.

Costs about US$30. Free trial.

I've confirmed these games DO support simultaneous input as well:
The Evil Within 2
The Last of Us Part 1 (thank God)
Ryse Son of Rome
Sniper Elite 3
Sniper Elite 4
Sniper Ghost Warrior 2
Sniper Ghost Warrior 3

These games DO NOT support simultaneous input:
Control
Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 (extremely disappointing)
Dying Light 2

Just some updates:
Realm Royale - Controller and Mouse usually work perfectly together (although some earlier releases of RR have had Controller bugs).

Call of Duty: World at War - Controller and Mouse usually work perfectly providing you:
launch the game and enable "Console" in the Game Options, then press ~ to open the Console Command Line, and type this command: "exec default_controller.cfg"

Destiny 2 - Controller and Mouse both work but there is an impossible 2 second delay to switch between devices for each button press. :(

Note: you might want to highlight the [ command: "exec default_controller.cfg" ] for games that allow Console usage.

Interesting! I tested Postal 2, and it works great. Also the original Postal can be played with both controller and mouse support activated. Works there too.
