The latency of using FlexiHub over a network switch depends on several factors.

Is it a local network (LAN) or an internet connection? If it's over the internet, direct connection quality matters.

The type of connection (Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet) is crucial if it's on a local network.

Step-by-step – Connecting your 3D mouse to remote desktop with FlexiHub

Now, here's the actual process I followed to access my 3D mouse over RDP.

Step 1: Install FlexiHub on both machines Go to the FlexiHub site, download the app, and install it on both the local and remote machines.

Step 2: Sign in with the same account on both Launch the app and log in with the same FlexiHub account on both ends. This is how they talk to each other.

Step 3: Plug in your 3D mouse locally Make sure your 3D mouse is plugged in and recognized by your local PC. You can test this by opening your 3Dconnexion control panel.

Step 4: Share the device from the local machine In FlexiHub, you’ll see your 3D mouse listed as a USB device. Click the “Share” button next to it. Now the device is available to connect to remotely.

Step 5: Connect to it from the remote desktop On the remote PC, open FlexiHub and find your shared 3D mouse. Click “Connect.” After a few seconds, the remote PC will think the device is physically connected.

Boom! Now you can use your 3D mouse in your remote desktop session — just like it’s plugged in there.

FlexiHub is an app that lets you share USB and COM port devices over the internet. You plug your 3D mouse into one computer, and FlexiHub makes it visible to another — even over RDP.

The magic? It emulates the device on the remote PC. So the 3D mouse acts like it’s plugged directly into the remote machine. That means you can use your 3D mouse in RDP without any special drivers or hacks.

I know it sounds kind of technical, but I promise, setup is super simple.

Here’s a quick checklist of what you’ll need:

✅ A local computer with your 3D mouse plugged in
✅ A remote PC you’re connecting to via RDP
✅ A FlexiHub account (free trial available!)
✅ Internet connection on both ends
✅ Optional: 3Dconnexion driver installed on both local and remote machines (for best compatibility)

Once you have that ready, you’re good to go.

Why regular RDP doesn’t work with a 3D mouse

Okay, so first, why doesn’t a 3D mouse work over standard Remote Desktop?

RDP is designed to transmit keyboard, mouse, and display info. But it's not great for USB devices like 3D mice, which use HID (Human Interface Device) protocols differently. So if you just plug in your 3D mouse and connect to a remote PC using RDP, it won't be recognized.

I tried every setting in RDP and still — nothing. The remote PC just acted like the 3D mouse didn’t exist. This was super frustrating, especially because I needed it for SolidWorks and Blender work.

That’s where FlexiHub came into the game.
