try on your machine

The "lsusb --verbose" command is used to list information about the USB devices connected to your computer in a more detailed and comprehensive manner.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

"lsusb" stands for "list USB" and is a command-line utility available in Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. It allows you to view the details of USB devices connected to the system.
"--verbose" or "-v" is a flag that enables the verbose or detailed output mode. When used with "lsusb," it provides more extensive information about each USB device.

When you enter the command "lsusb --verbose" in a terminal or command prompt, it will display a list of all USB devices along with various details, including vendor and product ID, device class, device speed, bus number, bus address, and more. The verbose output provides a more comprehensive view of the USB devices connected to your system.
