    Hi,

    I have a Mac Pro Quad-Core Intel Xeon 3.2 GHz with OSX 10.6.6, I'm running Parallels Desktop Build 6.0.11994 and Parallels Tools are installed.

    The keyboard is a USB Apple keyboard, connected directly to the USB port in the computer. The mouse is a wireless Evoluent VerticalMouse 3, again the USB Wireless stick is directly connected to the computer.

    I've installed both Windows 7 and XP and I'm getting the same issues. From the time when I installed both operating systems, I noticed both the keyboard and mouse did not function when in the Windows window, I had to click the USB Controller Icon down the bottom and check both the Apple Keyboard and Evoluent mouse to have functionality to install Windows. Furthermore, I could not exit the mouse by hitting Ctrl+Alt so I had to use my Wacom pen and tablet to click the USB Controller Icon again down the bottom and uncheck both the Apple Keyboard and Evoluent mouse to have functionality in OS X.

    After getting both Windows 7 and XP up and running, the same problem still exists, only now it's worse. When I check both the keyboard and mouse to control Windows, there is no mouse pointer, even though Windows has control and OS X does not. The mouse seems to be their bit no pointer, so you have to guess where it is and then click, I know it's there because when I hover over icons etc. I see it light up. There is still no way to release it from Windows with Ctrl+Alt, so I have to release it with my Wacon pen. The same thing happens if I reverse it i.e. switch the Wacom instead of the mouse.

    I've installed the same on my MacBook Pro and all works fine.

    Your help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Keyboard and Mouse not working in-game in parallels 6 for mac

    Hi,

    I have an Imac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I'm running Parallels 6 on my mac, with windows 7 - Home Premium installed and Parallels Tools are installed. My mouse works fine on the Parallels desktop. I've just installed Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, but when i enter the game, my mouse bugs. If i move my mouse to fast, it kind of goes back in a laggy-looking way. I've discovered that there's no devices in the device list, when i go to Virtual Machine - Configure - Hardware - USB Controller. Also when i pull out a checkbox on the desktop (if you know what i mean - don't know what it's called), it can't follow the mouse, like the screen is to slow to show. If i go to the bottom of the Parallels window, and checking the USB Logitech mouse and USB Microsoft Keyboard -that i'm using- it works just fine in Oblivion, and on the Windows desktop, but i can't release the mouse or keyboard from the virtual machine by pressing Ctrl + Alt.
    I found a resolution that might work for me, but it did'nt: http://kb.parallels.com/en/8634

    Can you help me with this problem? Thanks!
