Hi there, I'm developing bluetooth drivers and want to test on a Parallels VM containing macOS. I noticed that you are specifically filtering out keyboards and mice from the bluetooth devices that the guest OS can see. Is there an advanced setting that I can turn this off with? Specifically...

My Google account is setup so it's passkey-only, so to sign into Chrome I need to be able to use the passkey that's saved in my Apple account.

I must have spent about 45 minutes this morning trying my best to get this silly bluetooth code scanner to go -- which I've used on-n-off over the past ~4 years without issue til now. I'll admit that I've not used it in probably a year. The Mac can pair with it just fine and connect but...
