Inputs from USB devices not working with MacOS Ventura after upgrading with Open Core Legacy Patcher

[Mixacus]

Hello, I originally upgraded my unsupported mac using Open Core Legacy Patcher(iMac 9,1 early 2009) from MacOS El Capitan 10.11 to MacOS Monterey 12.6.6. In settings I was given a prompt to upgrade to MacOS Ventura and out of curiosity did. As of now whenever I go into my mac none of my inputs work, from Bluetooth to Wired nothing will make an input. Mouses won't move the cursor and the wireless keyboard (albeit it is off-brand) will not write. Is there a way I can revert to the prior MacOS Monterey or do I need something external like a USB hub to plug my devices into. Any help is appreciated

Erase disk and install 12.6 with OCLP USB install created with latest OCLP. Then recover from last Monterey backup (Migration Assistant).

Do you think you can provide a tutorial of sorts. I did hear that the official website for OCLP recommends using a USB 2.0 hub for things to work.

I was also thinking re-installing Mac OS El Capitan (last officially supported OS on my end) with a USB bootable

I think you should use the OCLP documentation for this.

Good idea.
Just make sure that anything you need to keep (documents, photos, etc.) are saved to an external HFS+ disk before going backwards. El Capitan will be unable to read anything formatted as APFS. If you have other computers, copy anything important to them.

I have an external backup. Im thinking using a) an official recommended fix (using usb 2.0/3.0 hubs and applying them to the machine until I install post-root patches) or b) re-installing Mac OS X El Capitan from a bootable
