USB Device Search

Utility app to help you track down a device driver based on vendor and device id

Every device driver comes with two identity numbers: the Vendor ID and the Device ID. These two numbers can be used to track down the manufacturer and the specific device driver.

This app will help you find out the device or vendor from your hardware, so you can identify unknown and unrecognized devices.

Linux: you can see the vendor id and device id using commands like lsusb or the kernel buffer messages (dmesg).

Windows: Device Manager (devmgmt.msc). Unknown devices would be listed as such and marked out with a yellow question mark. Open the device properties, Details tab, Device Instance Id. Search for: VEN_xxxx & DEV_YYYY value, where XXXX is the vendor id and YYYY is the device id.
