Let me understand something - VirtualBox OSE does not support USB and the only VIrtualbox for Arch is the OSE version which even after installing virtualbox-ext-oracle does not support USB.
WTF?

Did that and still all devices listed in the USB tab in my VM are all greyed out.

Did you try any of this yet?

"If USB is not working on your Linux host, make sure that the current user is a member of the vboxusers group."
If I wasn't, I wouldn't be able to run the VM anyway, right? Anyway, the user is added.
"The rest of this section only applies to those older systems"
My OS is brand new Arch and my hardware is top-end C2D with new bios so I don't think that applies.

@Lockheed you are not well informed.
1) virtualbox from community supports usb 1.1
2) virtualbox-ext-oracle is for usb 2.0 support and some other crap
3) if the devices are greyed out then your username is not in vboxusers group or you didn't relogin after adding your user to the group.
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

My bad. I though I was added. Thanks.

Don't forget to mark the thread as [solved], please.
Satisfied users don't rant, so you'll never know how many of us there are.
