HID devices issue

@DoctorG
Has this been fixed yet or is there some work around available other than using another browser?

No and No.
Use a different browser for this task.

I updated bug report for latest Vivaldi 7.1 ad 7.2.
Bug is VB-112800 "HID device connectivity has been broken for many months" - Confirmed.

Hello, is it confirmed for MacOS too ? Thanks

DoctorG

@zookeeper Does it fail for you on Mac?

zookeeper

Yes @DoctorG impossible to make it work, for example with Ledger devices, i've opened a topic here : https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/106153/impossible-to-use-hid-devices?_=1741540501782

DoctorG

@zookeeper I willupdate the bugtracker now adding MacOS.

Thank you, hope it will be resolved at some point as it's weird it's not working anymore and it's quite important.

What I just found is that, at least on Windows, both https://usevia.app and https://test.gulikit.com/?language=1 installed as PWA work as intended. Maybe this can help you to find the bug and get it fixed.

DoctorG

@AlphaGeekV2 You mean the PWA created by Vivaldi work, but same address in a tab not?

AlphaGeekV2

@DoctorG Exactly! I was talking about PWA and I ended up testing with no hope, but it works there.

DoctorG

@AlphaGeekV2 Thanks for hint.

I will update bug tracker, so devs can check more.

Great news, the HID devices seems to work on the lateste version of Vivaldi.

DoctorG

@zookeeper Really?
If you check on the before mentioned pages you get the listed devices and you can connect?
As a regular Vivaldi tab or a PWA?

@DoctorG I've just tried with a Ledger and Solflare wallet, USB window appears and the connection worked.

Just tried with Phantom wallet now, the USB windows appears, but it's still not working.

Tried also with a Meshtastic USB device, no USB window appears, but working on the PWA.

DoctorG

@zookeeper Thanks for testing.

Really strange, that some devices connect and some not.

zookeeper

@DoctorG Solflare as just been totally updated, can it be the extensions that mess around with some fonctions ?

DoctorG

can it be the extensions that mess around with some fonctions ?

I do not know, i can not test, and we have no internal testers which can check WebHID devices + extensions.

zookeeper

Just tried with another wallet and Ledger, Keplr, and it's working like a charm.

On usevia.app I see the UI for pairing the HID device, it appears as paired but the website still does not detect the keyboard
