Keyboard and mouse not working in macOS Catalina in VMware player

I've followed this guide and installed macOS Catalina in the VMware player on AMD CPU. It boots fine and I even got VMware tools to work. The problem is that a keyboard and a mouse are working about 1 out of 100 times, it's pretty random and I can't understand how to get it to work. I'm trying to use a PS/2 keyboard, USB keyboard, and USB mouse.
