Built-in preset
Keyboard & Mouse Input preset
Keyboard & Mouse Input needs no controller. Its inputs are the Mac's own keyboard and mouse: F13, F14 and F15, keys most keyboards have and macOS leaves unused, open Mission Control, Spotlight and Play / Pause, and mouse buttons 4 and 5, the side buttons on most mice, send Command left bracket and Command right bracket for back and forward in browsers and the Finder.
No controller: F13 to F15 and the two side buttons on a mouse drive the Mac
Where it is in the app
It ships inside InputConfig: open the sidebar and look in its folder, or search for it. Activate it, or press Edit to see every row. It is also here as a file, identical apart from being inactive and ungrouped, for anyone who deleted theirs or wants it on another Mac.
Every binding

5 rows. Button names are the Xbox / PlayStation pair the editor shows; a Switch Pro Controller fires by position. Options are the row settings that differ from the defaults.
Notes
Scan any key or mouse button to swap it in, including modifier keys pressed on their own. A spare numpad or a second keyboard can carry a whole macro deck this way; the macro deck guide builds one.
