Is it possible to dedicate a different keyboards and mice USB to VMs simultaneous different?

Is this possible?

To clarify, I want to run two (or more) near identical VMs on the same OS (Mac) of the host and connect a USB keyboard and mouse for each of them, but I want the USB keyboard/mouse to only make a contribution to a virtual machine of each at the same time. At the same time.

I did a quick test with Apple keyboard / mouse, mouse connected to the keyboard ports and it that have been listed under USB in the Virtual Machine menu.

Would an external hub for each VM thing do?

Is this possible?

Yes.

I did a quick test with Apple keyboard / mouse, mouse connected to the keyboard ports and it that have been listed under USB in the Virtual Machine menu.

This is to prevent novice users to shoot himself in the foot - a USB device that is connected to a customer is not available for the host, which could result in a user being stuck in the comments. See USB HID in the user's Guide to VMware Fusion power.

  • Connection keyboard and mouse USB Wired stall

    Hello

    My computer repeatedly interrupts the connection to my Wired USB mouse and keyboard.  Usually around one every 30 seconds, the connection falls for 1 to 1.5 seconds, then comes back.  Meanwhile, the cursor hangs - I can't click anything, and I can't press any keys on the keyboard.  For example - when I type, I have my keyboard will stop working for a while, and no text will appear.  This is particularly problematic when I play games.

    I tried to reboot the computer, reset the SMC and the mouse and keyboard.  I also tried all USB entries on my mac (4 in total), and the problem persisted with each of them.  This leads me to believe that it is either a problem with all the USB inputs, or a software problem.

    I have an iMac 27 inches, mid-2011 with OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 (specifications: 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 processor, 16 GB with 1333 MHz DDR3 memory and storage capacity of 2 TB).

    I use a wired USB (Logitech G402) mouse and keyboard USB Wired (Razer BlackWidow Stealth).  I have the latest version of Logitech Gaming Software and Razer Synapse installed for support.

    I would appreciate help.

    Check if there are updates available driver.

    To check if the problem is with the USB to your Mac controller, test with a different keyboard or mouse.

    To check the extensions conflicts, etc., try the startup mode.

    -----

    Restart in Safe Boot mode by holding down the SHIFT key at startup. Secure boot is quite slow because the operating system performs some cleanup and verification tasks, so give it time. Once you're completely connected, restart normally.

    Another problem in the function keys. They do not work. So I need to install the driver of access keys

    I have tried many on the internet until now, I can't able to find drivers for my computer so please suggest a useful site to download the two drivers.

    Hello Shirley,

    ·         Have you checked if the same keyboard and mouse work on other computers?

    ·         Are these PS/2 or USB devices?

    ·         You did changes to the computer before the show?

    Method 1: Try to connect the keyboard and mouse even to another computer to see if they work.

    Method 2: If they are PS/2 devices, then try to connect to USB devices to check for the issue or vice versa.

  • Keyboard and mouse not recognized

    HP Pavilion P6620f Win 7 when I first starts the job of keyboard and mouse (for access to the bios, etc.), but as soon as Windows starts and my login screen the keyboard and the mouse do not work.  There is being able to go to both because they have lights lite on each.  I tried unplugging everything, including the power cord, and I removed the motherboard battery to try to reset it.  Nothing seems to work.

    Hello

    I want to say that you don't have to disconnect the keyboard and mouse USB while trying this process. Once you have removed the USB drivers, the computer would have to re - discover the keyboard and mouse as a new device that may have circumvented the problem. So I read your reply message and it seems that you are unable to use your mouse and keyboard in safe mode. This is due to a problem of driver at this point. So there are only a few options left at this point in time:

    1.) Perform a repair windows (not a reinstallation of the operating system), so that you can verify the integrity of your system drivers. At startup, you need to press F10, F11 or F12 to get into the system recovery.

    Repair automatic running of the recovery disk is easy. After your system starts on the recovery disk and you follow the troubleshooting | Path via the menu advanced options, you will see the screen shown in Figure Aadvanced. Among the tools available on the screen advanced options, you will see the auto repair.

    Figure a. Advanced screen, you will find four other tools that you can use to recover a damaged Windows System.

    When you select the automatic repair option, you will see the screen shown in Figure B.

    Figure B your first line of defense when it comes to recover a Windows 8 system is the automatic repair option.

    Once you launch the automatic repair, it will begin to diagnose the problem to start and you will see the screen shown in Figure C.

    Figure C in the first stage of its operation, the automatic repair will diagnose the problem.

    During this diagnostic phase, automatic repair will scan your system and analyze the different parameters of the configuration options and files system searching files corrupt or botched configuration settings. Specifically, automatic repair will look for the following issues:

    • Missing/corrupt/incompatible drivers
    • Missing/corrupted system files
    • Missing/corrupt boot configuration parameters
    • Corrupt registry settings
    • Metadata for corrupted disk (master boot record, boot sector or partition table)
    • Installation of the problematic update

    If it detects one of these types of problems, it will automatically attempt to correct them, as shown in Figure D.

    Figure D auto repair has a diagnosis of your problem starting, it will attempt to fix it.

    If the AutoFix can solve the problem, she will do without any intervention. It will then reboot the system and start normally.

    2.) backup your important data and restore complete system of the operating system.

    If you have any further questions please send me a message.

    Hello CocoGriff!

    Thanks for reaching out on your trackpad and keyboard works intermittently on your MacBook Pro.  Looks like you've got a good start on things so far.

    Reinstall OS X can be good to rule out a software problem, causing their lack of reaction.  Before we get to that, you can try restarting in safe mode to see if they act even in safe mode.

    Follow these steps to start in safe mode.

    1. Start or restart your Mac.
    2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
    3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning - Apple Support

    If it is the same in safe mode, then you can proceed with reinstalling Mac OS X.

  • Can not switch to OSX Recovery Mode: looking for the keyboard and magic mouse

    I'm trying to reset my end 2012 Mac Mini 2.3GHz/i7/16GB to factory settings to try to get the machine a new lease on life.

    However, when I try to enter in Recovery Mode (in now command ⌘ + R when the system starts up), the machine will stop to a screen showing the instructions to turn on a magical keyboard and Magic Mouse.

    I have a trendy apple (USB) keyboard and a USB mouse is connected.

    How can I activate these entries, or how can I pass this screen looking for a keyboard/Magic Magic Mouse?

    [I guess one option is to use a magic mouse or a magical keyboard - I have in my office - but it is not sensible that you need them to access recovery mode].

    Thank you

    Got my Magic Mouse of the office, got into recovery mode. Surprised, you need a Magic Mouse, and who does not have a USB mouse to the recovery mode!

  • I have to buy a new mouse and a keyboard that is usb 3.0 compatible in order to upgrade to 3.0?

    Original title: usb 3.0

    I have to buy a new mouse and a keypad that is compatible usb 3.0 to upgrade to 3.0?

    N °

    USB 3.0 is backward compatible with your devices.

    You will not remove all the ports on your computer when you add a usb 3.0 in order to continue to use the ports that you use now for your keyboard and your mouse.  When you add a usb 3.0 controller on your computer you will have 3.0 ports in addition to your small gifts.  USB 3.0 has audio, video, storage and mass devices most.

    Keyboards and mice that you own now will not have 3.0 anyway, even with an adapter, but this isn't a problem.  Because the increase in speed of 3.0 data transfer benefits hardly a device that awaits for most human movements in any case new devices are not necessary.

  • When install Vista Home Premium computer hangs on the language selection screen. No visible cursor, the keyboard and the mouse does not.

    Hi, when I try to install vista that Home Premium 32 bits on the computer of my son, through the installation of loading files with the gray bar at the bottom, then goes to the screen language selection, at this stage, I can not select anything using the keyboard or the mouse. There is no cursor visible. Keyboard and mouse both work fine in the bios and on other machines. Have used other keyboards and mice on the machine in question, but that makes no difference. Tried another copy of vista, no difference. Tested on Windows 7 install and everything works fine!

    Very confused, thinking that it must be a driver problem, but how about him? Any help is appreciated!

    USB keyboard/mouse can be disconnected without using the icon "remove."  In fact, I would be shocked if they were still on the list safely remove at all.

    But to answer your first question, which depends on whether you want to keep pilots autour for future use.  If this is not the case, go ahead and uninstall the device before unplugging.
