I cannot get my keyboard to pass through to the virtual machine. It disconnects from my host machine like it is going to work, but does not. Interestingly, in order to reuse my keyboard on my host machine after, I have to physically disconnect and reconnect the keyboard.
Originally, I thought this was a problem with USB 3.0, however, I am able to mount my USB 3.0 thumb drive through a USB 3.0 port. Moreover, my wireless combo keyboard and mouse: Logitech k260, works. That combo keyboard + mouse is USB 2.0, through an USB 2.0 hub, into a USB 3.0 port. My RAT7 mouse also works through a USB 2.0 port.
Everything else passes through perfectly. My GPU is working, I am getting 60 FPS in games, I got sound to work (albeit in a round-about way), etc. Only this keyboard.
Update:
So after some plugging things in and out, trying to live attach the keyboard post boot, etc. It appears that the keyboard is going through to the Virtual Machine. However, the keyboard is still not working. The keyboard is showing up as a USB Composite Device
in Windows Device Manager. Even after installing drivers, attempting to remove and reinstall drivers it is still not working. I am going to attempt to boot into safe mode and see if it cannot be fixed from there. However, I feel as though this may not work. Attempting to reboot into safe mode and fix keyboard did not work.
keyboard: Corsair K95 RGB
