Q. How do I list all USB devices connected to my computer / Linux laptop?
A.You need to use command called lsusb. It is a utility for displaying information about USB buses in the system and the devices connected to them under Linux kernel.
lsusb – list USB devices
To make use of all the features of this program, you need to have a Linux kernel which supports the /proc/bus/usb interface (e.g., Linux kernel 2.3.15 or newer).

To get verbose output type the command:
$ lsusb -v
