    My USB Keyboard works fine all the time but the mouse from the dongle just won’t work and sometimes locks the whole Windows 10 Host or crashes the computer. My workaround was to put a USB mouse on my computer and just use both.

    HI, thank you for your awesome work 🙂

    I am using Mac OS Catalina final version provided by you. I installed it and everything is working fine except the mouse. I am using this on virtual box latest version and on a laptop.

    I have followed the article about this issue already and it’s not perfect for me.

    I have a trackpad and a bluetooth mouse and mouse gets stuck after every 30 to 40 seconds and after 2 to 3 minutes it again gets back to normal state and it repeats same for the trackpad also.

    I temporarily found out that toiling the usb from my trackpad to mouse and when it gets stuck and I toggle but it can’t be permanent solution.

    Hope you have understand and it would be great if you help me out.

    LOVE FROM MY SIDE 🙂

      Change the USB version to 3.0 or 2.0 and check which one works fine.

    guys I deal with this issue for few days, just get the extension manually from VM virtual box website, just get the exact version of your virtual box, the latest version is not supporting all the versions even though you update your VM box

    Hi, I was able to get past the UEFI cli and get MacOS recovery to load but no matter what I do, it won’t recognize the mouse or keyboard so I’m stuck at the installer welcome screen where u choose the language. I already have USB 3.0 enabled and my USB mouse mounted on ‘USB Device Filters’. Any help will be appreciated.

      Make sure the version of the extension pack matches your version of virtualbox exactly. I had the same issue with virtualbox 6.0.4 & extension pack 6.0.6. Booted fine when I d/l’d extension pack 6.0.4

      probably you are intalling the last version of the extension pack on a old version of virtualbox. Update virtualbox first
