Change the VM Operating System Version
After installing VirtualBox extension pack, you are still having the same issue then we recommend you to change your macOS Catalina operating system version. To do that you need to open VirtualBox then go to the VM (macOS Catalina) Settings and from the General tab just change the Version to Mac OS X (64-bit) instead of macOS 10.13 High Sierra or Sierra (64-bit). Finally, click OK to save the changes.
Enable and Use USB 3.0 Controller
This step is optional just in case you still have the same problem. You have to add your mouse and keyboard manually to the VirtualBox USB controller. Note: Do not perform this step unless you still have the same issue (mouse and keyboard not working). You should have solved the matter after changing the OS version and installing the VirtualBox extension pack. Open VirtualBox then go to the VM (macOS Catalina) Settings and from the USB tab, select USB 3.0 (xHCI) Controller. Next, click on Add button to list your mouse and keyboard under USB Device Filters.
