No effect either

By the way, by further investigating (DEBUG version of PS2Controtroller), I was able to notice that with 2 specific keys it does receive message. I installed Karabiner Elements EventViewer and it seems the only key it's able to catch is Fn+F11 (which is supposed to disable Touchpad if I were in Windows).

 

Here is what it logs

 

type:down            HID usage:7,224      name:{"key_code":"left_control"}                             misc:flags left_control

Using Ubuntu, I turned off my USB Controller and noticed the keyboard stopped working but not the trackpad. My keyboard seems to be USB driven.

I will try to do the USB port mapping, it's just going to be harder since XhciPortLimit is broken in Big Sur 11.3

I would like to add:

 

It seems Mac OS doesn't see the keyboard at all  See images

If I remove these unused ports, I'm scared I'm disabling the keyboard port

According to Nirsoft USB Device Viewer, my keyboard is USB. I attached the screenshot. It seems to not be using the XHC controller. Do you have any idea?

I downgraded to Big Sur 11.2.3 to be able to use XhciPortLimit. No difference here no new USB ports detected.

 

What do you mean by need native work? Since my keyboard is USB, what are my options?

I noticed Fn+12 always select the last file in a folder. This is the only key with "visual" interaction.

The shortcut is for AlienFx in Windows. Doesn't it mean it's somehow half working?

Fixed!

My keyboard was on HS10 but HS10 was not seen by OS X. After using this SSDT https://github.com/dortania/Getting-Started-With-ACPI/blob/master/extra-files/decompiled/SSDT-RHUB.dsl I have new ports detected and my keyboard is now working perfectly !

this ssdt is very non-sense

this way is wrong

the best is remap all ports

this ssdt kill all ports and put all no-built-in

if u stay in 11.2.3 use USBInjectAll.kext and XHCI-unsupported.kext and enable xhciport patch

reboot and start remap all ports

Yes that's what I did I used that SSDT to get all my USB ports recognized and then I did my USB port mapping, removed the SSDT, XhciPortLimit and USBInjectAll. Without that SSDT, I would never have been able to detect HS10 prior that.

Would you know if it's possible to get Thunderbolt 3 to DP working on this laptop? I believe it might be the only port that is not physically wired to the dGPU

I also have noticed a second issue: when I use bluetooth headphones, the microphone input is not working. It's recognized but it's like it can't hear anything. My built in laptop microphone works. They are Sony headphone, they work on my other hackintosh. They were connected when RunMe was run.

Doesn't seem to change anything. I connected before booting and also tried to disconnect/reconnect the TB3 to DP adapter. Monitor not turning on

I don't have any other Thunderbolt device. I'm only looking to get at least one single external monitor to work ?

 

@MaLd0n Do you have any suggestions? and would you have any clue about the bluetooth input ?
