Hi,
I want to setup a macOS Mojave guest on my MacBook Pro 2018 (32GB RAM; 1TB SSD) urning Mojave.
I can not move the mouse into the guest.
What did I miss?
I use the UI to build a Mac OS X(64-bit) box.

The usual mistake is using a USB filter to assign ownership of the host mouse and keyboard to the VM. Makes it awfully hard to operate the host (VirtualBox is of course a host app).

I did not have a USB filter.
Here my settings:

In that case I'll leave you to the tender mercies of your fellow Apple users.
One note: it would help if you reduced the scale of your images before posting them.

Are you telling me that you managed to install 10.14 as a guest? If so, please could you share the how-to?

USB3 in the guests should be irrelevant if the recipe is correct - the mouse and keyboard belong to the host.

No, I got some errors because the new disk use APSF.

Without USB3 I was unable to select the Installer language. I can not move the mouse.

Afraid not. It's an issue with OSX guests since 10.12.4. See Issue 1 in
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/16644
The recipe needs an update.

Ah, I see. I forgot that Apple does their own thing. I guess then that they have actually deleted the code to support older keyboard bus types. Every mod has a risk of introducing bugs, so I'm surprised they risked a mod to delete harmless code.
