Trouble when trying to connect multiple keyboards to guest

[Yaakov Shilovsky]

Hey guys,

I'm running Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS, with VMware Workstation Pro 17.6.0 build-24238078 (for personal use), and the VM is also running Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS.
I have 2 sets of keyboard+mouse connected to my computer, I want one of these sets to be "locked" inside the VM, and the other just to regularly use the host.
For that, I edited the .vmx file and added:

usb.generic.allowHID = "TRUE"
usb.generic.allowLastHID = "TRUE"

Now, when going to the menu of VM > Removeable Devices, I only see the two mice, but not either of the keyboards.
But the thing is, when the VM grabs input the keyboards do work.
What could be the problem? Why doesn't VMWare show the keyboards as devices I can connect to the VM?

Things I tried:

1. Restarting both the guest and the host

2. Re-installing open-vm-tools

3. Changing the USB-Compatibility version of the USB Controller (3.1, 2.0, 1.1)

4. Disabling and Enabling "Automatically connect new USB devices" and "Show all USB Inputs"
