'Is it possible to use the webHID API over and RDP connection?
We recently implemented the webHID API for one of our sites (it is such a godsend) and have the client asking if they can use the devices over a Microsoft RDP connection? I imagine this would depend on the RDP client and whether they can/do send HID events over the RDP connection. From some initial research it looks like you can redirect USB over RDP but don't think this will work for us as I couldn't get my device mapping done with the webUSB API. If anyone has any input on this it would be greatly appreciated. Thx

WebUSB, WebHID and Web Serial should work with a remoted USB device.
That said, there may be bugs if these devices don't appear to applications like Chrome in quite the same way they do when connected locally. If they don't, it would be interesting to get logs from chrome://device-log and see how the device appears in the Windows Device Manager.
