Sure, you can ask them.

DOSBox-X does have extensive clipboard features. As mentioned in the following Wiki page, DOSBox-X has support for copying to and pasting from the host system clipboard in several ways:

All these clipboard features are supported on the Windows platform. On Linux and macOS platforms, the clipboard device (CLIP$) and the clipboard DOS APIs are not supported (but clipboard pasting etc should work). For the HX-DOS package, I have confirmed that if you run it from Windows, then the clipboard DOS APIs should work fine (see the above page for usage details). However, if you run it from MS-DOS, the clipboard DOS APIs may not work properly, probably due to the limitations of the HX DOS Extender.

USB devices should be supported at least in the Windows platform too. Support for USB devices is not the job of DOSBox-X, but the availability of OS-specific drivers. Since Windows does provide such drivers, it should work in Windows. On the other hand, if you run it from a real DOS system, it really depends on the availability of such a DOS driver. Hope this helps.
