Abstract: Techniques for implementing improved USB redirection of USB HID class devices are provided. In one set of embodiments a client system can receive, from a virtual desktop running on a server system, a poll message directed to an HID interface of a USB HID class device plugged into the client system and identify a polling thread associated with the HID interface. The client system can further save a copy of the poll message in the polling thread and initiate local polling of the HID interface, where the local polling comprises providing, via the polling thread, the copy of the poll message to the HID interface.

Abstract: The disclosure provides an approach for device redirection in a remote computing environment. Embodiments include receiving, at a remote device from a client device over a network, input data of a peripheral device associated with the client device. Embodiments include receiving, at an emulated device running on the remote device, a request for device data from an application running on the remote device. Embodiments include responding, by the emulated device to the application, to the request with a response message having a format associated with the request, the response message being based on the input data. Embodiments include transmitting, from the remote device to the client device over the network, image data representing the application running on the remote device as controlled based on the input data.
