Built-in preset
Presentation Remote preset
A game controller is a better presentation remote than most presentation remotes: it has a stick for the pointer, buttons under the thumbs for next and previous, and a hold for blanking the screen when you want the room's attention. This preset covers Keynote, PowerPoint, and Google Slides with the keys they share.

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.
