This is an issue with TVOS/Apple TV. I lodged a ticket with Apple Support on this, who said, “Yeah bro, working as intended - we don’t support mice devices like you want us to.” I paraphrase, but the TL;DR: is this isn’t supported. They suggested I submit a feature request through Product Feedback, which I did. I’m not hopeful, though 🤣
From my time on the call with Apple Support, two things need to happen.
My workaround is to use a Bluetooth mouse (I have sufficient range between my ATV setup and gaming PC, using an MX Mini).
I'm running TVOS 17 (latest public beta) and the Moonlight client. I have tried to different Bluetooth 5.1 pointing devices, and I am unsure if the issue is with Apple's SDK or with the Moonlight client, but mouse buttons and movement are not passing through, only the mousewheel/scrolling input seems to be passing through. I am running Sunlight on a Windows 11 PC and have had no other issues.
In theory TVOS supports a wide range of Bluetooth input devices.
I really want to get my Bluetooth 5.1 devices to work, so I'm happy to assist in any way I can.
