    USB Mouse Passthrough to Windows 11 ARM

    I am trying to pass a USB Cadmouse to my Windows VM. It seems to connect to the VM but the cursor doesn't move. Though I can use the mouse and see things highlight, just no cursor movement at all. Is there a solution to this?

    Incorrect user agent (x64)

    I've installed Parallels and Windows 11 on my Mac M2 but Edge seems to be saying that my architecture is x64; it's sending that as the user agent. A side effect is that when I go to a web page like <https://docs.flutter.dev/install/archive>, it only shows me the x64 downloads. When I go to Edge...

    Terrible Audio Performance: Cracking, Popping, and Stuttering Sound

    I've been using Parallels pro for almost a year now, and among all virtualization solutions, it's probably the gold standard.

    I'm trying to get an Elite Series 2 controller to work WIRED. I don't care if bluetooth works, I'm not going to use bluetooth because features such as adaptive triggers don't work with bluetooth, also bluetooth has a lower polling rate. Do not tell me to use bluetooth. I'm on the latest...

    H265 hardware accelerated video decoding on Windows

    The latest Chrome/Edge 136 now support H265 in WebRTC. However, this requires hardware decoder/encoder to make it work. M1/M4 MacBooks do have such encoder/decoder and it works fine on Mac OS. Unfortunately, it looks like the Windows 11 guest running in Parallels does not have access to the HW...
