Hi all,

Is there any way to make it so that the host and VM can "share" a USBkeyboard?

When I work from home I use a USB keyboard, and at work I use a PS/2 connector. Launching VirtualBox at work is fine - the keyboard is usable in my Ubuntu host and my hosted Windows XP session.

However at home I have a USB keyboard, so when I launch VirtualBox, it "grabs" the USB keyboard and I can't use it on the host, which is really annoying.

Thanks for any help.

Disable USB on the Guest Settings. If you want to use USB, then make sure that there is no filter active that grabs your keyboard.
