I'd like to confirm Matti Laakso's comment #3. I too am unable to pass through a USB mouse or keyboard for dedicated yse on my Windows VM.
Spice redirection works correctly.
Changing the permissions so that libusbx doesn't complain does not resolve the situation. Using USB passthrough in virt-manager has no effect at all. It seems this particular problem occurred upstream in Debian too, which is now fixed in libvirt-1.2.9.
See here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=765080

I too noticed the changes in the libvirt VM hardware spec when upgrading from Ubuntu 14.04 to 14.10 and I had to recreate the spec however, recreating it (with the same qcow2 image) does not solve the problem of USB passthrough not functioning.

Should I raise a new bug for the USB passthrough problem as it appears this bug has been allocated to just changing documentation referring to the libvirt spec change?
