[fedora-virt] state of USB pass through?

A long time ago I tried to connect a printer to a Windows
virtual machine via USB passthrough, and it was pretty much
a complete disaster :-).

How is pass through these days? Apparently the matterform
3D scanner I'm expecting to show up someday appears to the
computer like two devices on a hub. One is a webcam, the
other is an arduino serial connection.

I've successfully forwarded arduino serial connections
before as COM ports, but a webcam that needs a USB2
speed connection, I'm not so sure about.

Anyone think the webcam will work with usb forwarding
these days?

Or maybe I should forward the hub and let Windows sort
out the two devices?
