Hotkey to move/lock USB 3.0 port to current computer.

I have an HDK402-M24-USBK; I have it kind of tucked behind my monitors so it isn't very accessible.  I use an external USB audio device. 

I wish I could control which PC that USB audio device was connected to without needing physical access to the KVM to lock/unlock the USB3.0 port.  Specifically - hotkeys lock/unlock/move the USB 3.0 port between machines.  Maybe just one combination to unlock it (move to current input) and another to lock it (move to current input) would do?

  Dear Schub,

  Thanks for the detailed feedback.

  At the moment, the USB 3.0 port can only be locked or switched using the button on the front panel — there’s no hotkey control for that. I’ve passed your suggestion to our engineers for future updates.

  You’re also right about the “USB Lock” affecting the front ports — that’s how the current firmware handles it (it locks all USB hub channels together). We’ll review if it can be limited to the rear port only.

  As for the two mice, the HID port doesn’t support hubs or multiple devices. One mouse on the HID port and another on the front USB port should work fine, though the front one won’t switch automatically.

  Appreciate your detailed notes — this kind of feedback really helps us improve.

  Best,

  Related - I was surprised that if I Lock USB it seems to lock the font ports as well as the rear.  The docs say it'll lock the USB 3.0 port - which is only the one on the back.  Is there a way to have just the rear port (or some other subset of the USB ports) lock and let the others switch?  

  I have two mice - it seems only one will work while plugged into the mouse input at a time (with a little unpowered USB hub).  A second mouse works fine when plugged in the front, though - but I'd like it switching.
