![]() ![]() VirtualHere maintains a list of instances where people use VirtualHere in different scenarios. I also use it for hooking up mobile devices to an automated build and test pipeline. Currently I have printers, keyboards, mice and a steering wheel up and running using this setup. Other choices come from companies who pretty much overcharge imho. I’ve chosen the VirtualHere software due to it being actively developed and supported by a single individual. VirtualHere allows USB devices to be used remotely over a network just as if they were connected locally! Passing the entire USB bus will make any USB device plug & play and can easily be passed to any other client. The reason behind doing this is that HID devices (Human Interaction) are hidden by default by ESXi and requires quite some fiddling and remains either statically mapped or randomly assigned device-id. The current setup is to passthrough one of the USB buses to a dedicated always-on VM and expose any attached USB devices via a virtual USB server. The issues earlier have been concerning with providing physical keyboard, mouse and steering wheel support. I do have a couple Windows VMs that are setup as gaming machines with dedicated GPUs via hardware passthrough. My kids are still pretty young-ish so we make do with a mix of laptops and ipads.
