Frequently Asked Questions

What are VID (Vendor ID) & PID (Product ID)?

The VID is a unique number assigned to each USB hardware manufacturer. The PID is a number the manufacturer assigns to a specific product line. The VID:PID combination allows for precise identification of a device model, which is essential for finding the correct drivers.

Why is my device name "Unknown"?

This can happen for several reasons: the manufacturer did not include a human-readable name in the device's firmware, or the device is generic. Our tool still provides the raw VID and PID, which are the key to manually finding the correct driver or information online.

How does this tool help me find a driver?

By identifying the VID and PID, you can search online for "driver VID XXXX PID YYYY" to find compatible drivers. In the future, our collaborative database will suggest the most relevant links submitted by the community directly on this page.
