I'm using Linux KVM (virsh) and it officially supports USB 1.0. Are there other virtualization tools (free) that would allow my Windows VM to run USB 2.0?

  • It does, but I had to use Oracle's proprietary version. Then you have to download an extension pack and enable USB 2.0 in the settings. Ugh.

Vmware does:

VMware Workstation 6, 7, and 8, VMware Player 2, 3, and 4, and VMware ACE 2 include a virtual EHCI controller that allows guests to fully use USB 2.0 devices.
