| See also | USB vendor ID (P1167) |
- Motivation
USB vendor ID (P1167) existed as a single property attempting to describe both the USB vendor and USB product IDs. It has only been used to date a limited number of times (<30) to describe vendors of USB products. Because the constraints on use of each ID are quite different, this proposal splits USB ID into USB vendor ID (existing property) and this new USB product ID proposal.

- Discussion
Weak support wasn't the idea with USB ID to include the full id, with both the vendor and product ID combined? So for your example it would be 'UD:05ac:12ab'. But if they need to be separated I guess this is ok. ArthurPSmith (talk) 17:58, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
