Can someone please help me connect my usb headset to shadow…I saw that I was supposed to check a peripherals box but it’s not popping up for me so I don’t know how to go about the process of connecting

There is literally no peripheral option for me

Did you have any luck with this as mine is exactly the same!! I just want to use my mouse and keyboard properly!

Mouse and keyboard work natively and can't be transfered with this feature.

So I am a mac user

#

and trying to connect my windows keyboard?

Any keyboard connected to your Mac will function on Shadow. I'm using a Logitech K850 on my MBA M1.

Yeah so it looked like I have played around with the key bindings on the mac settings once I restored them it seems to be working fine

I have the same issue, only my webcam shows as a peripheral. My USB Ethernet is not detected. However, Virtualhere does pick it up and pass it through. However, I am unable to find any reason for Shadow to not detect it.

This is done on purpose.

#

Network adapters will not be forwardable using ShadowUSB.

When did this change? There are numerous guides using Shadow to forward USB ethernet so this was not always the case.

#

Not that it is a huge issue, I am using Zerotier and Virtualhere to accomplish the same. Just would be convenient to have it all in one.

Well the guides are very vague about it, "virtual here (if you need it if usb forwarding does not work for your shadow client)."
Not an issue I am trying to solve though. I am using Virtualhere for USB passthrough. Apart from random drops due to Zerotier for some reason it appears to work just fine.
