My USB keyboard is randomly stops working. I have to sleep and wake my build to make it work again.
Download Hackintool to confirm your ports are working properly. This is also a handy tool to see all of your active kexts, check for updates etc. I often use it to update my kexts.

I'm making a kext updater, because half of the time spent maintaining a hackintosh is keeping it up to date.
A quick thought: Something similar (many) already exist. One is https://www.sl-soft.de/en/kext-updater/, another is https://github.com/ic005k/OCAuxiliaryTools, another is https://github.com/headkaze/Hackintool. Does yours offer something different?

To keep costs down, Keep an eye on local market place and classified sites for a cheapish gaming PC with an AMD card in it (RX’s 5700 / 5700xt / 5600xt / 6600xt / 6600).
