Update: Thanks everyone for helping me think! Finally, I discovered that all three of my USB devices were broken. A fourth one finally connected. I should've known when dmesg did not see anything at all, that they were broken.

Thanks everyone for thinking with me! However, I have indeed rebooted many times, and I have verified my versions. I am, with no doubt, on the right kernel.

I concur: in many cases you need to reboot after doing a kernel update in
order to recognise devices that were not plugged in before the update


Indeed.

To also explain why this happens: the relevant kernal modules hadn't been
loaded yet, and the modules on disk are for the newly upgraded kernel while you're still running an older kernel. In that case, `pacman -Qi linux` and
`uname -r` will also show different version information.
