Re: Changing a joystick name?

The game controller name comes hardcoded from the firmware in the joystick device. The name is not editable in the Driver Station application.

The only easy way I've found to uniquely identify a joystick (aside from pushing a button and watching it flash on the Setup tab), so far has been to combine different models.
E.g., Attack3, Extreme Pro, MadCatz
