i'm testing 2 keyboards right now, and they both show up as "Bluetooth 3.0 Keyboard", per 1st screenshot:

Hello,

The names in the system settings aren't visible to other apps. Key Mapper uses the standard API to get Bluetooth device names.

you still could offer to rename them manually, or at least add a random identifier to differentiate them! 😒

Every input device in Android has a unique "descriptor" and this is what Key Mapper uses and saves to identify devices. Would it be okay to have an option in the settings to show the first 5 characters (the whole thing is very long) of the descriptor next to the device name? I don't want to add a whole flow to rename devices since that is quite a bit of work for a very very rare edge case.

of course!

then wait for the screenshot that will hopefully never come with 2 devices which contain the same first 5 characters... 🤣

no sarcasm intended, just to be clear. 😘
