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?

I believe VirtualBox supports USB 2.0

virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads shows that the Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack is required to support it– shf301Commented Dec 3, 2011 at 22:23

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.– m33lkyCommented Dec 4, 2011 at 5:36
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.
