This was removed in 148, see NEWS: "The option "ignore_device" does no longer exist. There is no way to ignore an event, as libudev events can not be suppressed by rules.

You can find the driver (usbhid) in /sys and then write the device name to the "unbind" file to detach that particular device and make it available for virtualbox.
