List USB Devices from Command Line

I was recently creating a Recalbox with my 5 year old son and it was an awesome experience; I saw the excitement and curiosity in his eyes while helping him put together a video game machine. We added NES, SNES, and Nintendo 64 games to the device but it became apparent that the N64 controller needed its buttons reconfigured in a config file. To do so I needed to know the device's USB name.

You can use the following command line execution to get the listing of connected USB devices:

There are methods of viewing connected USB devices via an operating system UI but knowing how to quickly get that information via command line. It's also much easier to copy and paste that data if you need to pass it on!
