In virt-manager make sure you're using a spice connection, that the usb-controller
model is set to "Usb 2" and then add a number of USB Redirection devices, (up to 4,
having more then 1 allows you to redirect more then 1 USB device simultaneously).
Until now I didn't realize how important this bit of advice really was! I use virt-manager to manage my KVM guests and had added the USB controller as "default". The only alternative was "USB 2". I expected that both were the doing the same. This is not the case however. As soon as I changed the USB controller of the guest from "default" to "USB 2", USB redirection started to work (this is with a Windows 7 guest).

Perhaps the default for the USB controller in virt-manager should be changed from "default" to "USB 2"?

Yes, good idea, can you please file an RFE for this?

Regards,

Hans
