I have the same problem, and if I open the key mapping, and exit it the cursor disappears, but the keyboard is still not working.

Yes I can't even type on any game. So if I type something and then press the tab, text appears else no way my keyboard is working.

Thanks for this. But I just upgraded my mac to Sonoma 14.1 beta and now games aren't even opening. So will this nightly build fix it?

Known issue(#1108). Probably won’t be fix until macOS 14.1 is officially released. Either downgrade or wait until it’s officially released.

So I just took a look at the playcover discord channel and someone had brought up the same issue. The solution was to upgrade to the 3.0.0 beta version of playcover and I just tried it out and it actually worked.
Apparently 2.0.5 isn't compatible with the MacOS Sonoma
