Change name of USB HID device

Postby pilotguy9853 » Sun Jun 08, 2025 8:54 pm

I am using a ESP-32 S3 board and Tiny USB. I have the board set up to read rotary encoders and simple push button switches and pass this on to the Windows game controller. It works well but the device shows up in the Windows game controller as "TinyUSB HID" (see attached screenshot. I would like to change the name of this device as I will be using more than one and each additional one shows up with the same name.

I have Googled until my eyes are crossing and I would think this would be something fairly simple that most developers would need to do but so far, I have been unsuccessful at finding a solution.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. I am using the Arduino IDE. I have looked over the document that you sent the link to several times and I will admit, as a newbie to this, I don't really understand how to implement that to change the name in Windows.
