Multiple Mini-PACs -- USB IDs and order change on reboot
03/10/19 03:36 AM


I have 3 mini-PACs to get the input from 3 trackballs. When the computer reboots, and sometimes when the USB hub is detached/reattached the USB "address" of the devices randomly changes, as does their order in the list of USB devices.

I need a way to uniquely identify each device so I know which mini-PAC is sending data for which trackball.

I downloaded a tool called UsbTreeView that digs deep into all data available on a give USB device. The iSerialNumber field for the mini-PACs are all NULL, so no way to query the serial number of a given one.

Does anyone have a idea of how to automatically identify each mini-PAC when the computer boots up?

[NOTE: running on Windows 10]
