Instructions on finding USB device ID #16

It will not be obvious to some how to find the USB device ID, so it would be great to add a section to the readme for this. Would you accept a PR for this? (I can do it for Windows, not MacOS tho)

On a Mac...install home-brew. (https://brew.sh). Use a regular keyboard not attached to the faux kvm.

Open a terminal.

brew install lsusb

$ lsusb > a

$ lsusb > b $ opendiff a b The lines that are highlighted should show you which usb ID to pay attention to.

@cocowalla of course, I'd gladly accept a PR for documentation improvements, I agree this info is missing.
