USB Device details #142

I've been trying to figure out why the NanoKVM is not as stable as PiKVM for the USB devices.

piKVM has the USB devices configured as a "Multifunction Composite Gadget" defined as a "Boot Interface Subclass" that works on every device i have used it on ( PC, Mac, into other microcontrollers.)

I've notice the NanoKVM has the devices configured differently.

Possibly the attached USB information can help to fix the NanoKVM problems.

Hello, the issue with NanoKVM USB instability is related to the quality of the USB cable. I have tested all the USB cables on the table and found that only one cable can maintain a stable connection when shaken. If you are also experiencing unstable connections, you can try replacing it with a better quality cable

The cables are an issue, yes. I do have cables that work on 60% of devices. The NanoKVM does not work with a Mac Mini / very unstable. PiKVM is 100% stable for mouse and keyboard. As shown previously the USB devices offered are completely different for both products.

Ignore this, just downloaded the latest 2.1.0 code and it is a LOT better on a Mac Mini. Mouse and keyboard work a lot better and not so flakey. This is definately usable now.
