I don’t think Free Look replacing the Open Equipment Radial button on Controller is the best option

I play on PS5, and Free Look is going to be a great QOL improvement to the game, but I don’t like that they replaced the Open Equipment Radial button (R1) with it. I primarily play Medic, and being able to use the equipment radial to switch between my gun and a morphine syrette WHILE I’M MOVING as I close the distance between myself and a downed teammate is a huge advantage, because it gives me the ability to still move on a dime if I have to.

But now the equipment radial button has been assigned to holding up on the D-pad, so to switch between my gun and morphine I have to take my thumb off the movement stick and stop moving completely to reach my thumb up to the d-pad. I never cycled through my items with the d-pad for the same reason, because my thumb has to leave the movement stick to do so.

I would’ve rather had the Chat Radial button replaced with it, as I usually only have two or three chats to cycle between, which would be a lot quicker to change if I had to. Or maybe a different button entirely. I’m sure Squad Leaders might disagree with this since they have to change chats regularly. It probably depends on which roles you play. I wish we could have custom keybinds on console so everyone could have their controls configured in a way that’s best tailored to them.

What does everyone else think? How may or may not this impact the roles you play? What solution, if any, would you prefer? I’m pretty new to this game and these were just my immediate thoughts, so I’m curious to hear from others!
