PS2 Keyboard on Acer laptop not working

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.

Hi guys,
after following every single step of the OpenCore Install Guide for Ice Lake Laptop platform I still can't use the integrated keyboard (PS2).
I used Acidanthera VoodooPS2Controller v2.28. After many trials I resorted on an external keyboard and managed to install macOS 12.3.1.
It is working quite fine actually, SSDT patch installed, usb mapped correctly and touchpad is working too (I2C).
The internal keyboard is not working at all right now.
Is there anything I can try to solve this mistery?

Acer Aspire 3 A315-57G
CPU: Intel i7-1065G7 (Ice Lake)
iGPU: Intel Iris Plus
dGPU: nVidia MX330
RAM: 32GB DDR4-3200
SSD: NVMe Kingston 512GB
Audio: Realtek ALC255
Touchpad: Elan I2C
Wifi: QCA9377
Ethernet: Realtek RTL8168/8111
BIOS: Insyde Rev 5.0
OpenCore v0.8

I've just tried normal and modded OC. Everything works.

No luck with the keyboard
