The Workstation should retain the connection to the host machine’s USB port, but if not, go to the VM > Removable Devices > (Device Name) and select Connect from the menu. As a Consultant I travel a lot and I have pleasure to work with fantastic VMware Clients.
If after all that you still can’t access the USB device from your VM’s guest system, you may also need to power the VM off, then unplug the device and re-attaching it back again. To unmount the device, select a port to which it is connected and choose None in its menu. If the port already has some other device attached to it, picking a new device will release the first peripheral and connect the newly selected one.

It seems like vmware hooks keyboard input at a stupid low-level which I guess is fair, its a virtualization application. ❌ This method won’t work for any peripheral that’s not plugged into the host’s USB port (though it can be used for redirecting some PCI devices).
