The director of Raiders of the Lost Ark, E.T., Jurassic Park, and many more classics has long spoken about his love of video games, stretching back to 1982 when he revealed the instant thrill and ego "massage" that playing games like Donkey Kong and Tempest provided.

They have left-hand hardware that has a thumb analog stick and a bunch of mapable keys. Problem is getting games to use "controller" functions like analog sticks and mouse functions at the same time. I haven't tried it myself, but apparently most games don't have a way to recognize and use that as a keyboard function

it actually works in a decent number of games i think. now i dont have one of those controllers, but i use a ps5 controller to play, and used ds4windows to map the touchpad to mouse and the mute button to left-click (initially just so i dont need to put down the controller when not in-game) control and just cause 3 both didnt really have problems with dual-input, though just cause 2 did.
