Actually, this isn’t the worst idea. It can be hard to tell what kind of input device the player’s using, especially on PC. Are you using kb+m, xbox controller, psx controller, generic bargain bin controller, etc? Also you can’t just assume that because a controller’s connected the player is going to use it (and lots of games do… much to my dismay since they make me go disconnect the controller). Once the player presses at least one button you can tailor all the inputs to that thing.
WHY CAN’T YOU JUST SHOW IT???
blame Nintendo and Microsoft, you have to do that to be certified for their platforms.

But the player will press some button or will use their mouse in the menu anyway.
