Aptly named,  ChipGenius for Windows is a great software program! Little to no setup, simple use for all users. It helps people to extract information from their USB devices (Flash drives, etc.) to find details so broken drives can be repaired. You don't even need to install this program! Launch it with just a mere double click and watch the magic happen.

ChipGenious can quickly access your devices and extract information and diagnose issues connected with defective flash drives or keyboards. When using ChipGenius, the chip vendor and specific part numbers, as well as other extracting particulars, can be extracted easily and give you details of devices that Windows cannot. All you need to do is make sure that the USB device you are troubleshooting is connected to your computer and ChipGenius will display the description, processing speed, ID data, and serial number of the device.

ChipGenius is a pretty standard software that has allowed me to identify and confirm either fake or true as advertised flash drives that so many people have sold on Amazon. It performs its job well, and that is to detect and identify the VID and PID. For the flashdrives that are true to what they advertise, this is great. I only wish that the company would be able to to innovate and take their product to the next level and sort out the task of identifying the information of the fake flash drives out there. The software is able to repair the flash drive, but to a limited extent.                        

Dylan

Chipgenius will not only extract USB device information, but more importantly, it will find out the correct details they will need to repair their flash drives that are broken.  The program gets launched with a very simple double click, which in return means, no installation is required, and we all love that! The interface only has two areas, so that it can keep it simple for all users. If your USB drive is defective, than it really is impossible to use as far as transferring files. Chipgenius will show the USB information and with just one click, the information can be copied to a clipboard and in return, not all is lost!
