Within game files there is a device mapping file which converts the IDs into the namesDoes anyone know why the old x56 Saitek or Thrustmaster are named as such in the keybinds and Virpil not?

The file is DeviceMappings.xml with in the "Elite Dangerous\Products\elite-dangerous-odyssey-64\ControlSchemes" folder.
It's likely that you could add to this to the have names for other devices, however it might get reverted back on an update.
looking at the existing files there was some work done to add the Virpil throttle and panel, no idea when that was added or if its anything they are looking into any further.
I asked Virpil Support if there is deeper meaning behind their PID or if it's just random hexadecimal.
Will be interesting to see what they come back with.
My feeling is changes based on the options picked within software, if the number of buttons the device is presenting to the OS changes then would make sense it would be seen under a different ID and the IDs aren't random but based off the available options.
