How do you reveal detailed information on a USB?

You can use the dmesg command to find out more information about the connected USB devices. The last connected USB device is the easiest to find with dmesg command. It is more widely used for debugging purpose.

gwmi Win32_USBControllerDevice |%{[wmi]($_.Dependent)} |select name,description,  deviceID, manufacturer | format-table -group by manufacturer

Some explanation

The WMI class WIN32_USBControllerDevice describes the connection between USB controllers (The Antecedent) and their logical devices [CIM_LOGICALDEVICE] (the Dependent)

PS>gwmi Win32_USBControllerDevice |fl Antecedent,Dependent Antecedent : \\.\root\cimv2:Win32_USBController.DeviceID="PCI\\VEN_8086 &DEV_3A35&SUBSYS_02931028&REV_00\\3&172E68DD&0&E9" Dependent : \\.\root\cimv2:Win32_PnPEntity.DeviceID="USB\\ROOT_HUB\\4& 10B856B0&0"

now you can check win32_PnPEntity to get more info about the device ex:

gwmi Win32_PnPEntity -Filter "DeviceID='USBSTOR\\DISK&..'"
