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.

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.
