Could you build this?

No Sharing hardware USB devices over IP requires low-level Windows kernel drivers (Virtual USB Host Controller / USB/IP kernel drivers) and native systems programming in C/C++.

What it would actually take: A functional USB/IP solution on Windows requires porting or maintaining a signed Windows Kernel-Mode Driver Framework (KMDF) virtual bus driver that intercepts USB Request Blocks (URBs) and encapsulates them into TCP packets conforming to the USB/IP protocol. The user application requires Win32/C++ or C# interacting directly with Windows SetupAPI and device IOCTLs, along with valid EV code signing certificates to load drivers on modern 64-bit Windows systems.
