Mouse and Keyboard stop working randomly


Recommended Posts

I assume you're operating the VM from the unraid box itself and passing through the good gfx card.

 

How are you passing the mouse/keyboard? are you just selecting them in the vm config screen?

 

Have you tried passing through the entire usb controller that they are connected to? Be careful to follow this guide closely as you dont want to forward the usb controller being used by your unraid usb drive

Another thing to try is Libvirt Hotplug USB. Which you probably want anyway for connecting usb flash drives.

I THINK that Libvirt Hotplug USB is also available on Community Applications which is a total must for getting plugins installed

By ports do you mean controllers? I think you need to passthrough the entire controler.

 

Try not using the hub, see if that changes anything. I had a problem with my USB 3 hub as well (Orico brand). I ended up using that libvirt hotplug plugin whenever I plugged a usb device in. Obviously this isn't a solution to the problem, but it could give you an idea where the problem might lie.
