USB devices can be connected with the @option{-usbdevice} commandline option
or the @code{usb_add} monitor command. Available devices are:
-@table @var
-@item @code{mouse}
+@table @code
+@item mouse
Virtual Mouse. This will override the PS/2 mouse emulation when activated.
-@item @code{tablet}
+@item tablet
Pointer device that uses absolute coordinates (like a touchscreen).
This means qemu is able to report the mouse position without having
to grab the mouse. Also overrides the PS/2 mouse emulation when activated.
-@item @code{disk:@var{file}}
+@item disk:@var{file}
Mass storage device based on @var{file} (@pxref{disk_images})

-@item @code{wacom-tablet}
+@item wacom-tablet
Virtual Wacom PenPartner tablet. This device is similar to the @code{tablet}
above but it can be used with the tslib library because in addition to touch
coordinates it reports touch pressure.
-@item @code{keyboard}
+@item keyboard
Standard USB keyboard. Will override the PS/2 keyboard (if present).
+@item serial:[vendorid=@var{vendor_id}][,product_id=@var{product_id}]:@var{dev}
+Serial converter. This emulates an FTDI FT232BM chip connected to host character
+device @var{dev}. The available character devices are the same as for the
+@code{-serial} option. The @code{vendorid} and @code{productid} options can be
+used to override the default 0403:FF00. For instance,
+@example
+usb_add serial:productid=FA00:tcp:192.168.0.2:4444
+@end example
+will connect to tcp port 4444 of ip 192.168.0.2, and plug that to the virtual
+serial converter, faking a Matrix Orbital LCD Display (USB ID 0403:FA00).
