--- needs to be at least USB 3.0 (USB 3.1 Gen 1) speeds ---
If I passthrough individual USB controllers to a bunch of VMs, how can I easily switch USB devices from VM to VM on the fly?
(hardware only - not interested in solutions where I have to install software/drivers on each guest VM a la AnywhereUSB)
I know there are devices such as Aten US434 4 x 4 USB 3.1 Gen1 Peripheral Sharing Switch but:
--- it is not really a 4x4 - meaning it is not a matrix - it is just a 4 input hub that you can switch between 4 outputs
--- it is controlled by a single push-button - need something more sophisticated than that
I guess I can make a matrix out of a bunch of devices like the Aten above by connecting outputs of some of the devices to the inputs of the others in a mesh topology, but this is wasteful and is controlled by a bunch of push-buttons
Do you know of any USB 3.0+, matrix type of switches that are easily controlled?
Thanks!
