>For USB device, you would have to 'fingerprint' them in some ways.

Most (but not all) USB devices, except keyboards and mice, have the unique ID in them.

Surely there are major exceptions from this rule, even Wi-Fi adapters which have the unique MAC (as any Ethernet) but _do not have the USB-level unique ID_.
