USB composite devies are USB devices that are connected to a computer via one USB

cable, but consist of separate HID devices (e.g. keyboard/mouse or touchpad/

mouse).

When connecting a USB hub or a USB composite device containing multiple USB

devices, only the first of the connected HID devices can be used in the

Generic HID

mode. The OSD informs you if other HID devices of the composite device or the

hub are detected.

1. In the directory tree, click

KVM matrix systems > [Name] > User modules

.

2. Right-click the user module you want to configure. Now click on

Configuration

on

the context menu.

3. Click on the

General

tab.

5. Click

to save your settings.

respond to your inputs during operation.

How to enable/disable the reinitialisation of USB devices:
