Trackpad/keyboard/touchscreen issue
For reference, the trackpad is an SYNA327F and the touchscreen is an ELAN2514.
As per
these instructions, I added the VoodooI2CSynaptics.kext and tried it both with and without the VoodooI2CHID.kext
To avoid conflicts with Apple I2C kexts, I added two new entries in config.plist>KextsToPatch (credit CoolStar).

Sadly, all of this has had no effect. Trackpad and keyboard still don’t work.
The keyboard issue is weird because that seems to work OOB in nearly every other x360 guide I’ve seen. Also odd is the fact that the keyboard backlight activates when I press keys, but it otherwise shows no response.
It looks like I’m going to have to dive into the GPIO pinning guide as per
@jm52262's suggestion for getting the trackpad to work.
Up to now, I’ve chosen desktop builds that work without DSDT patching, so I’m a total noob there and will have to do some reading up before I dive into that, but it’s something I was going to have to do eventually. Haven’t the first clue on where to start with patching USB, so it’s back to

Installer issue
I removed apfs.efi from Drivers, but the installer (and here I’m referring to the very first part of the installation process before it reboots the first time) still hangs at 2 mins. to go.
Should I try Clover 2.5 or will that have little effect on the results?
