Not able to type anything, but keyboard shortcuts works

I just installed Bunsenlabs Carbon in Virtualbox (twice). I end up with an installation where the keyboard gives no input, but I can use the shortcuts for starting programs and log out/shutdown. I'm able to enter my username and password at the login screen, but as soon as I'm logged in I cannot type into terminal or text editor. My host OS is Kubuntu 24.04. Virtualbox version 7.0.16 EDIT: I now see that I have a lag of about 5 minutes for entering text. There is however no lag in switching windows and starting programs.

BL Carbon on virtual machines is weird due to our compositor, picom, requiring 3D acceleration (scroll down to POSSIBLE ISSUES>2)...

You have the disc space, it might be easiest to create a testing partition and do an actual install of BL.
