Hi,

I may have misunderstood your requirement, but I think you want to leave the trackball local to the client machine, but then forward all other device interfaces?

The software on the guest vm desktop will need to "see" the buttons (for play , record etc) and so i'm sure they will need forwarding.

If my understanding is correct then you can configure as follows:

if configured guest vm agent side it would be:

  • include vid/pid:           o:vid-0911_pid-149a
  • split vid/pid device:     o:vid-0911_pid-149a(exintf:03)

if configured client side it would be just:

  • include vid/pid:           vid-0911_pid-149a
  • split vid/pid device:     vid-0911_pid-149a(exintf:03)

What this does is INCLUDE the whole device (normally mice/keyboards are blocked by default). and then forwards the whole device, except interface 3 (which I believe is your trackball).

if you want to leave another interface local to the client, then you can do it like this:    ...  (exintf:03;exintf:04)

For more information, see my blog post here: https://communities.vmware.com/blogs/horizonViewUSB/2013/03/01/filtering-and-splitting-for-usb-devic...

and also, see What’s New with USB Redirection in VMware View 5.1? | VMware End-User Computing Blog - VMware Blogs for a worked example of splitting.

Let me know how you get on,

cheers
