Have you tried a KVM switch?

I have one in my setup and toggling it off and then back (via button) is a quicker way to solve freak-outs.

I have a USB switch for my peripherals, but I haven't needed a KVM until now. That does sound convenient!

I've always been amazed that what I think of a dumb switch (wiring) USB hubs, have connectivity problems solved by such... its a protocol handling problem. Not a circuitry issue, and there should be a command to reset USB/Peripherel reboots.

Invoking a reconnect via CLI / cmd would be great.
