Rename Bluetooth Devices for Easy Management

It’s all too easy to end up with a boatload of Bluetooth devices connected to your Mac. Apple devices will likely have sensible names like Magic Mouse 2 but what if someone has given you a device with their name in it? Or you’ve ended up with a device called something really random like f023cp37?

Happily, macOS lets you rename most Bluetooth devices including pointing devices, keyboards, earbuds, and headphones.

Open System Preferences > Bluetooth, Control- or right-click a device, and choose Rename. In the dialog that appears enter the new name.
