macOS Big Sur OC 0.6.3 Keyboard Freeze on Brightness Change

Q: What is a Hackintosh?

A non-Apple computer configured to run macOS using compatible PC hardware combined with a custom bootloader and configuration files to emulate a real Mac environment.

Q: Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple’s End User License Agreement (EULA). It is generally not illegal for personal experimentation but not permitted for commercial use.

Q: What hardware is best for a Hackintosh?

The best hardware closely matches real Apple systems, with Intel CPUs (6th Gen to Core Ultra), AMD Radeon GPUs, compatible chipsets, and Intel-based Wi-Fi cards offering higher success rates.

Q: Can I build a Hackintosh with an AMD CPU?

Yes, macOS can run on AMD Ryzen CPUs using kernel patches, but Intel CPUs provide better native compatibility.

Q: What is OpenCore?

OpenCore is a modern Hackintosh bootloader that provides near-native macOS behavior and is the recommended bootloader for new installations.

Q: Is Clover still supported?

Yes, Clover is still supported but less recommended compared to OpenCore for modern systems.

Q: Which macOS versions support Hackintosh?

Hackintosh systems support macOS versions from Leopard up to recent releases, depending on hardware compatibility.

Q: Do NVIDIA graphics cards work on Hackintosh?

Only older NVIDIA GPUs work on older macOS versions; modern NVIDIA GPUs are incompatible with current macOS releases due to lack of driver support.

Q: What is an EFI folder?

The EFI folder contains the bootloader, drivers, kexts, and configuration files required to boot macOS on a Hackintosh.

Q: What are kexts?

Kexts (kernel extensions) are drivers that enable hardware functionality such as audio, Ethernet, USB, and graphics.

So I am finally able to fix almost all of the issues of my system (Power Management being the latest). I just have one more left. I'm using BrightnessKeys.kext from OC Official for brightness keys. It works but if I change brightness levels a bit rapidly the keyboard freezes i.e. It stops working. My trackpad keep on working and I can move around/ open apps. However with this I lose the ability to Shut Down or Sleep the system as well. Can someone please help me in fixing this problem. If this problem gets fixed I will finally have a hack perfect in every aspect!

Thank You!

System: HP Pavilion 15 Gaming Laptop

Intel Core i7-9750H, 16GB RAM

UHD 630 + GTX 1650 (Disabled)

Attached EFI has Resources and Kexts folders removed to comply with the file limit requirement.
