What would it mean? Would we be trying to control a pixel or cursor which would be the mote? (btw, welcome to the forum, guitarman!)

“Mote control” definitely seems to have achieved a limited bit of currency online—some users write ”’mote” with an apostrophe, making it clear that it’s not just a typo. Guitarman, is your son old enough to have picked this up from someone else?

Might there be influence from “mute control� (Plenty of examples on the web: most seem legitimate.)
