Hi John, I don't have an OnlyKey and unfortunately probably can't really help you to debug the issues with it not being able to act again as an HID device after attaching it directly to a VM. However, you can absolutely use a Debian-based VM as your sys-usb qube; just install the Debian 9 template and set your sys-usb qube to use it as its template. Also make sure the qubes-usb-proxy package is installed. As for the HID issues, I do have one suggestion: have you tried not only detaching the device from the AppVM, but also physically removing the USB device and re-inserting it?
