Hi @dhalbert,
thank you for your comments.
I just pushed requested changes.

this wouldnt allow to have multiple deviced having different names right ?
from my understanding thats where the VID (vendor )and PID (product) parts come in
if i would like 4 devices with different names i would need 4 unique PID's

still under same vid/pid so its for all the devices then

@MariuszCwikla you think we could do something with the pid and vid some how to make devices unique for local machine
cause now just as well edit the regex right? same result since its cached by windows

its in the supervisor .. part

No, there is only one VID/PID, becuase there is only one (composite) device presented.

i found it in mpconfigboard.mk of my board thank you
does mean i need to build circuitpython

You can change the VID/PID in boot.py if you want: https://docs.circuitpython.org/en/latest/shared-bindings/supervisor/index.html#supervisor.set_usb_identification

thanks a lot Dan i was already almost done making custom builds in github ci..
how can i not have seen that ...

my solution

from hid_gamepad.simple.boot import gamepad_descriptor
import usb_hid
import supervisor

# Define custom VID, PID, product name, and manufacturer
CUSTOM_VID = 0xDDFD  # Non-registered VID
CUSTOM_PID = 0x5050  # Non-registered PID
PRODUCT_NAME = "SUNSHINE"
MANUFACTURER_NAME = "Good mood"

# Set USB identification
supervisor.set_usb_identification(vid=CUSTOM_VID, pid=CUSTOM_PID, manufacturer=MANUFACTURER_NAME, product=PRODUCT_NAME)


# Enable HID devices including the custom gamepad descriptor
usb_hid.enable(
    (usb_hid.Device.KEYBOARD,
     usb_hid.Device.MOUSE,
     usb_hid.Device.CONSUMER_CONTROL,
     gamepad_descriptor)
)

# Set interface name for the gamepad
usb_hid.set_interface_name("Good mood")

# Only use the gamepad
usb_hid.enable((gamepad_descriptor,))

this solved it for me now i got unique pid and vid and name in my regex editor

Yes, you should assign your VID/PID like in above example.
Windows caches name of VID/PID in the registry, so you might not see the change unless you clean registry or assign your own VID/PID. See also #9130 (comment)
