As far as I know, power cycling is not usually a function of USB.
For resetting, in my case a stupid mouse that doesn't come back after
sleep, I've used resetusb from https://github.com/mcarans/resetusb/
It has a convenient search function so I can just tell it to search for
my mouse by name instead of me having to fiddle with bus and device
numbers.
There's some discussion and alternative programs at
