How to find my device with generic names

[simeoncapy]

When I use the usbipd list command I cannot see my device, to be exact its name. Indeed, I have 4 generic "USB Input Device", so I don't know how to find it. But my device is recognised with its name in the devices list of Windows settings.

Here is the result of the command:

Connected:
BUSID  VID:PID    DEVICE                                                        STATE

Persisted:
GUID                                  DEVICE

usbipd: warning: USB filter 'USBPcap' is known to be incompatible with this software; 'bind --force' will be required.

So is there a way to discover which generic device is the one I am looking for?

The device descriptions are those reported by the Windows USB subsystem; they are the same (or should be) as in Windows Device Manager. You can display the Linux device names (which may or may not provide more details) using usbipd list --usbids.

Thanks for the answer. I checked on the Device Manager but I couldn't see my device. So I don't understand why the new settings can, and not the Device Manager. Another manifestation of Window's bicephalism...

But thanks for your other command. It couldn't detect my device but reduced the Unknown device to 2. So by changing my device's USB port, I could discriminate it.

And on WSL it appears with its name:

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2988:0304 3D Systems 3D Systems Haptic Device
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

[EDIT]
But the device seems to not be available in tty. I run dmesg and I got:

Are you sure the default WSL kernel has a driver for your device? You may need to compile your own, see https://github.com/dorssel/usbipd-win/wiki/WSL-support#building-your-own-wsl-2-kernel-with-additional-drivers
