How Do I Find the VID/PID (Vendor ID/Product ID) for my USB-connected reader?

Answer:

1. Open the Windows Device Manager

2. Expand the Human Interface Devices node.

3. Double-click the device of interest -- the USB Human Interface Device Properties window appears.

   finding the ID TECH reader can be a bit tricky. Try unplugging/re-plugging it from the USB port and look for what item disappeared/re-appeared from the Human Interface Devices category. Or, just check them all. You know you have an ID TECH device when you see the VID 0ACD. 0ACD is ID TECH's Vendor ID

   
   
   

4. Click the Details tab

5. In the Property drop-down box, select Hardware Ids

The USB HID VID and PID are displayed.  My Cheeky USB Missile Launcher displays:
USB\VID_0ACD&PID_3810&REV_0001
The hexadecimal Vendor ID is highlighted in red, the Product ID in green, and the product revision number in blue.
