    pcidatabase is down since a long time now…

    You can use these one instead: https://www.pcilookup.com

    You can also look on google for PCI Database…
    – https://devicehunt.com
    – https://www.oueta.com/pci-database/
    – https://www.pci-z.com

    And you can use this tool to get a lot of details on USB devices: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html
    Among other, sorting the list of USB devices on “Registry Time”, you can find the latest one plugged into the PC.
