In general, I want VMware Workstation to present me with a dialog for choosing whether to assign a newly connected USB device to the host or one of the VMs.
However, this is not true for certain USB devices, like the Microsoft Surface keyboard that I can detach/attach to my Microsoft Surface Pro 3 host device. I want this particular device (and probably others, like USB mice) to exclusively be connected to the host, immediately.
How can I exclude certain USB devices from arbitration?
