Nvidia Shield TV owners running touch-oriented sideloaded apps face the same D-pad problem Firestick users do — MATVT solves it by giving you an on-screen cursor built specifically for Android TV devices like the Shield.

What Is MATVT Mouse Toggle?

MATVT (Mouse for Android TV) is a free, open-source utility on GitHub that overlays a controllable on-screen mouse pointer on Android TV devices, including the Nvidia Shield TV and Shield TV Pro. It’s built specifically for Android TV’s input system rather than being a generic Android app.

Why Shield TV Owners Need It

The Shield TV runs full Android TV and is popular for sideloading apps never designed with a remote in mind — browsers, some IPTV apps, and touch-first utilities. MATVT gives you a precise, controllable cursor for exactly those cases.
