HID devices issue

igorsantos07

@DoctorG Exactly. My use case is https://usevia.app. It finds my keyboard, I select it, but then nothing happens. If I press the "Authorize" button again, it simply shows my keyboard again, with "- Paired" by the end of the keyboard model. Selecting it still does nothing, differently from Chrome.

I tried the same using gksudo (which right now, is required from Chrome to properly connect to my keyboard on Linux), but Vivaldi does exactly the same: nothing. No info on the console either.

No useful information at vivaldi://device-log either; here I unplugged, re-plugged the keyboard, and then tried to pair at usevia.app:

@igorsantos07 Is this mentioned issue https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/792760

igorsantos07

@DoctorG Nope! It doesn't crash at all, given I was even able to get logs after trying to access the keyboard on UseVia. It just doesn't do anything after I select the device on the integrated popup.

DoctorG

@igorsantos07 That is known and no-connect is known report and covered by the mentioned master bug, too.

@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.

DoctorG

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.

zookeeper

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.

zookeeper

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?

zookeeper

@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.
