I'm using a bit of a different keyboard, the infinity ergodox [

lsusb gives its ID:

So, I made a file, hostdev-1c11:b04d.xml, which contains the following:
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' >
<source>
<vendor id='0x1c11'/>
<product id='0xb04d'/>
</source>
</hostdev>
Note, I have had this same xml inside the domain's xml, but have pulled it
out separately so that I could run:
virsh attach-device linux-x86_64 hostdev-1c11:b04d.xml
It appears to attach the device, as it becomes visible in the domain's

Since the guest can see it ^^ I don't think this is a problem in the
host system. Does it require special module/driver? Is it supported by
the guest OS?
When it is not passed-through to your guest, run lsusb -t on the host
and see what's the Driver= for the device. The try the same thing in
the guest and if it's missing you got it. If not, then you can check
settings for X etc.
The mouse works just fine. I bought a cheap keyboard to test out, and
it
works just fine. My pet keyboard, however, doesn't work on the guest.
Nothing seems to register. Any ideas here what I could do? Drivers? ROM's?
I've tried both SeaBIOS and OVMF with no difference in outcome, and while
this appears to be a hardware problem, I don't know where to begin.
Thanks,
Paul
