Keyboard/Mouse Issues with local VMs

I'm using the VMware Workstation Pro 16.1.1 and when I run a VM I'm having issues using my mouse and keyboard.

In the VM if I enable Enhanced Keyboard then the keyboard work fine but the mouse does not work. To get the mouse to work I would need to manually add the USB mouse to the VM but then it disconnects from my host machine, which is not ideal.

In the VM if I disable Enhanced Keyboard then the keyboard works for the FIRST keystroke then stops working, but the mouse works fine. To get the keyboard to work I would need to manually add the USB keyboard to the VM but then it disconnects from my host machine, which is not ideal.

What would I need to do to fix this issue?

Thank you!
