Connecting Extra USB HID Device to VMware Workstation VM Automatically on Startup

Hi,

How can I connect an extra HID device (for example, an extra mouse and keyboard unifier) at VM startup for Windows 10 guest? I'm using VMware Workstation 15.0.3 on Windows 10 host machine.

I can connect non-HID USB devices like USB pen automatically to VM and VM remembers it at every start and don't connect it to host machine.

However, I cannot find an easy solution for a HID device. PC have its own mouse and keyboard. Extra HID devices will be used for guest only.

How can I do it ? Thanks.
