True, and you can use that and other hints (vendor & device Ids or strings and
so forth), but you can't count on people plugging the pad back into the same
port (my living room PC has something like 14 USB ports, and they are around
the back where I can't see them).
Once you get into Bluetooth controllers where there is no physical wire...
