Usbip, I'm learning how to build a Python GUI by making one for usbip bind and usbip attach.

What do you use USB/IP for?

My laptop, desktop pc, and VMs are running Linux. All of them (except the laptop) are remotely accessible over the local network via Moonlight game stream using Sunshine as the hosting software.

I use USB/IP to send things like a Dualsense controller, or USB headset over the network, as well as my yubikey if I need to log into something with FIDO2 authentication remotely. (I haven't tested my yubikey over usb/ip yet but I will eventually) I've also managed to use my racing wheel this way but if it lags it hurts the game badly.

Webcam / headset / USB storage devices / game controllers work just fine so far.
