Keyboard/mouse, rebooting and freezing issue when setting up macos Monterey.
I have mapped the usb's (I think), I just plugged my Magic Keyboard with a usb-a to lightning to every port on the nuc including the usb-c with a usb-c to lighting cable. i used https://github.com/USBToolBox/tool/releases/tag/0.2 for this.

Asus B360M - i3 9100F - RX 550 - Sabrent Rocket - Fenvi T919 - Ventura 13.3.1
Precisely, I went through the guide once more, discovered some new tools (like USBToolBox for example) then I did USB mapping + SSDTs (using SSDTTime) by hand (I was not sure that I did them properly in the first place, 3 years ago). Then with those clean SSDTs & kext, I used my old EFI and OCAT to merge everything together. Double checked everything at the end just to be sure that I did not forget a thing and that OCAT did not mess up anything.

Big Sur Ryzentosh boot looping to macOS Installer
1) On your EFI folder under OC/Tools you are missing Openshell.efi 2) In your OC/Kexts folder what is the Whatevername file?? 3) In your OC/Kexts folder the UTBDefault.kext must not be there. Make sure you made the USB Mapping correctly USBToolBox

Ryzentosh ~ Ventura 13.3 ~ Ryzen 5 5600x ~ RX 5600XT ~ B550 ~ OC 0.9.1 ~
As for the USB mapping that was a pain for me.. My motherboard has onboard BT/WIFI card Intel AX200, which was ..hmm .. OK for Hand Off and enabling wi-fi. But i wanted real native Mac experience. So i extracted the BCM94360CD Apple Airport Card from my old (screen damaged) iMac late 2013. Ordered a PCIe adapter from AliExpress and as i was for it to arrive i was making USB mapping to ensure that even the Internal USB Headers of the motherboard are recognised correctly from MacOS. I made 3 different USB maps .. One from Hackintool app. One within Macos and one on Windows 11. That was because my motherboard has ONLY 2 USB headers which both are occupied ( one for the front usb panel of the case and one the pump of the AIO ) so i ordered a USB header splitter along with the PCIe adapter (the truth is that i ordered 2 different kind/brands splitters just for sure that one of them will work.) For the result.. USB mapping from Hackintool app was crap. USb mapping from within MacOS was not accurate and the one that worked was Windows 11 side USB mapping method using USBToolBox. Link : https://github.com/USBToolBox/tool/releases The only thing i needed to do for the BCM94360CD to work was to remove the wifi/bt related kexts.

Given up trying to hack the Latitude 7390 2-in-1.
do you have both USBToolBox.kext and UTBMap.kext? you need both USBToolBox.kext and UTBMap.kext for USBToolBox to function. https://github.com/USBToolBox/tool https://github.com/USBToolBox/kext

Deferred Rematching Count 0
One immediate problem I see is the lack of a USB map, make it with USBToolBox.

On installation Catalina setup my pc keyboard and mouse not working im new to to installation
Before you install OSX on the target machine, install Windows 10 or Windows 11 first. Make sure that ALL of your drivers for Windows 10 or 11 are installed (especially your chipset drivers). Use the Windows version of USBToolBox, and map your ports per their instructions (basic instructions are on the same page with the utility). Grab that here: https://github.com/USBToolBox/tool. Run the Windows.exe version (your antivirus software will go nuts trying to run this on your machine, either allow it, or rename the executable after unpacking it). Copy the created kext (called UTBMap.kext) file this program creates onto a separate flash drive to use after MacOSX is installed. Next, head here (https://github.com/USBToolBox/kext/releases), and grab the two kexts (USBToolBox.kext and UTBDefault.kext) within the zip file. Unpack, and put them in your EFI/OC/Kexts folder on your bootable USB drive. Use ProperTree to open the config.plist on your bootable drive, do an OC Clean Snapshot (this updates the config.plist with the new kexts you added), and SAVE.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing tool and kext you can also consider the following projects:
USBMap - Python script for mapping USB ports in macOS and creating a custom injector kext.
ProperTree - Cross platform GUI plist editor written in python.
USBInjectAll
OcBinaryData
gibMacOS - Py2/py3 script that can download macOS components direct from Apple
GenSMBIOS - Py script that uses acidanthera's macserial to generate SMBIOS and optionally saves them to a plist.
OpenCore-Install-Guide - Repo for the OpenCore Install Guide
VirtualSMC - SMC emulator layer
SSDTTime - SSDT/DSDT hotpatch attempts.
