I've been having mouse and Keyboard issues with VMWare workstation for a while now so I thought I'd reach out for some help.
I have several Virtual Machines (Linux, Windows 8, Windows Server), neither of which will capture the host Mouse or Keyboard. I upgraded to Workstation 11 thinking that would fix it but it did not. I manually upgraded the Enhanced Keyboard Driver which now allows the Keyboard to work within the VM. Mouse still broken - I can see the cursor but it doesn't move. I try Ctrl + G, doesn't work. I tried reinstalling VMWare tools but you need to have access to the Guest OS to do that. I tried installing Windows 10 VM last night but couldn't get past the setup wizrd because the Mouse won't work.
Is this a problem with my host mouse driver? It's just a regular USB Mouse. Are there VM Ware Drivers specific to the mouse. Please help, because google doesn't. I don't want to switch everything to Hyper-V
