I have two bluetooth (keyboard-mice) pairs and would like to be able to distinguish them in the bluetooth panel.
The screenshot above shows two Logitech keyboards and two M557 mice. Is there any way to rename them in the panel, e.g., K810-A and K801-B?
Thanks!

It is easy to do in Blueman
sudo apt install blueman
Open Blueman, right click on device, then rename, it is only valid on the computer you run the commands on.
You can also use bluetoothctl in terminal with the set-alias command after connecting to one of the devices. My test below
[bluetooth]# connect AC:9B:0A:4F:CA:FF
Attempting to connect to AC:9B:0A:4F:CA:FF
[CHG] Device AC:9B:0A:4F:CA:FF Connected: yes
Connection successful
[CHG] Device AC:9B:0A:4F:CA:FF ServicesResolved: yes
[MDR-ZX770BT]# set-alias Sony-Mega
[CHG] Device AC:9B:0A:4F:CA:FF Alias: Sony-Megaanswered Jun 12 at 21:14

Fabulous, thanks very much. I ran blueman-manager, which enabled me to rename devices, and the devices remained renamed when I ran the default bluetooth manager. Which suggests that there is some file somewhere that contains the names, and presumably one could access the file directly?
