Connect Device

Choose an authorized USB peripheral from your browser's device picker. Transient user activation is required.

Device Information

READY TO INSPECT

Ready to inspect a USB device

Connect a compatible USB device and choose it from your browser's permission dialog to view descriptors, Vendor ID, Product ID, and connection status.

Advanced USB Configuration

Why isn't my USB device listed?

WebUSB does not provide universal access to every USB device. Standard devices such as keyboards, mice, game controllers, and flash drives are claimed by operating system kernel drivers or blocked by browser security policies. For specialized hardware testing, use our dedicated tools:

Safe USB Port & Peripheral Troubleshooting

If your USB peripheral is not responding, dropping connection, or failing to appear in the browser chooser dialog, follow these safe isolation steps before assuming hardware failure:

1 Try a Known-Good Device

Plug a verified working USB device (e.g. mouse or flash drive) into the same port to verify the port responds at the operating system level.

2 Try Another USB Port

Switch the device between front-panel chassis ports and direct rear motherboard USB ports. Front ports often suffer from loose internal headers or unpowered hubs.

3 Inspect Cable & Connector

Damaged or charging-only USB cables lack data lines (D+/D-). Test with a certified high-speed data cable to ensure data lines are intact.

4 Check OS Device Manager

Open Windows Device Manager (or macOS System Information) to check whether the USB controller reports driver errors (Code 43 / Unknown USB Device).

Technical Limitation Note: A successful browser connection confirms device enumeration and descriptor readout. It does not measure physical bus voltage, current draw, power delivery compliance, or physical connector impedance.

Complete Guide to USB Diagnostics, WebUSB & Device Permissions

01

What Is a USB Device Tester?

A USB Device Tester enables you to inspect browser-accessible USB peripherals authorized via WebUSB, identifying hardware IDs, configurations, and connection state directly in your browser.

02

What Is WebUSB?

WebUSB is a W3C browser specification providing web applications with safe, origin-scoped access to authorized USB hardware peripherals over secure HTTPS contexts.

03

What Is WebHID?

WebHID is a companion browser API designed specifically for Human Interface Devices (custom gamepads, specialty input dials, keypads) that cannot be accessed via WebUSB.

04

What Are VID and PID?

Every USB device provides a 16-bit Vendor ID (VID) identifying the manufacturer and a 16-bit Product ID (PID) specifying the exact hardware model.

05

Why Can't All USB Devices Be Detected?

Operating systems assign exclusive kernel drivers to standard USB classes like Mass Storage and standard HID keyboards/mice, preventing web browsers from claiming them.

06

Can a Browser Test Physical USB Port Health?

No. Browsers can only detect logical enumeration. Measuring electrical voltage, current delivery, or physical connector contact requires specialized hardware multimeters or oscilloscopes.

07

Can This Tool Test USB Bus Speed?

No. Browsers cannot perform raw physical bus bandwidth tests. Device speed ratings should be determined from manufacturer specs or OS-level storage benchmarks.

08

USB Security and Permissions

WebUSB strictly requires transient user activation and explicit device selection in the browser chooser dialog, preventing background or unauthorized hardware tracking.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Quick answers about how this tool works.

A USB Device Tester is a browser-based diagnostic utility that uses the WebUSB API to inspect compatible USB devices authorized by the user, exposing vendor IDs, product IDs, device classes, and connection state.

Click the "Connect USB Device" button. Your browser will present a secure device chooser dialog. Select your USB device and click Connect to authorize browser inspection.

WebUSB is a W3C standard browser API that enables web applications to safely interact with authorized non-standard USB hardware over secure HTTPS connections with explicit user permission.

WebUSB is primarily supported on Chromium-based desktop browsers including Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, and Opera. Firefox and Safari currently do not support the WebUSB API for security reasons.
