New remote-input mode: the connected game controller keeps driving the game while the Siri Remote acts as a mouse pointer. This handles the common case where a game or launcher shows a mouse-only UI at startup (Steam Big Picture, a launcher, a settings/EULA dialog) that a controller can't navigate — the user clicks it with the Siri Remote, then keeps playing on the controller. Selectable from Settings alongside the existing remote modes. The input-mode labels are also aligned with Apple's "Controller" terminology (previously "Gamepad") across all 34 localizations.

@oliversluke I see 4 options including standalone Siri Remote which I believe is obsolete now and we should clean that up. As you said keep 3 options only "Controller, Controller + Touchpad, and Controller + Mouse (Siri Remote)" But the new combined option works very well, tested in COD BO6 and COD BO7 |

What
Adds a new remote-input mode — Controller + Mouse (Siri Remote) — selectable in Settings alongside the existing modes. In this mode the connected game controller keeps driving the game, while the Siri Remote acts as a mouse pointer.
Why
Some games and launchers show a mouse-driven UI that a controller can't navigate, most often right at the start of a session — Steam Big Picture, a game's own launcher, a settings/EULA/resolution dialog, an anti-cheat prompt. In a controller-only mode you can get stuck there. This mode lets you click that UI with the Siri Remote, then carry on playing with the controller — no need to switch the whole input mode mid-session.
How it works
Terminology alignment
While wiring up the label I also aligned the input-mode names with Apple's "Controller" terminology — that's Apple's user-facing wording across tvOS and the HIG; "Gamepad" only appears in the developer
GameControllerAPI. So the three modes now read Controller, Controller + Touchpad, and Controller + Mouse (Siri Remote), localized across all 34 languages (locales that already use their own correct term — e.g. ES "Mando", FR "Manette", zh "手柄" — are left untouched).Testing
