How to change Arduino Pro Micro's name?

Hi guys, not really sure where this post is supposed to go but...
So I recently made a USB Button Box with an Arduino Pro Micro that I had laying around, but I had one problem, I have 2 other "homebrew" button boxes as well, and they show up as "Arduino Leonardo" in my game controller menu, I've tried the instructions in this post but I had no luck at all. So is there a way to change the "game controller's" display name to something like Arduino Leonardo 2? Thanks a lot!

BTW I used this library to make my button box:GitHub - MHeironimus/ArduinoJoystickLibrary: An Arduino library that adds one or more joysticks to the list of HID devices an Arduino Leonardo or Arduino Micro can support.

Have you tried amending the boards.txt?

found at this path: {ARDUINO}/hardware/arduino/boards.txt

If that brings no luck, this link may help?

if still no luck , post what you have tried and whether anything changed so we can rule out some methods

is it possible to Rename the HID Controller · Issue #14 · MHeironimus/ArduinoJoystickLibrary · GitHub

I also tried adding something like this to the bottom of boards.txt, I got the menu but it doesn't make a change:
menu.usb_name=USB Product Name
leonardo.menu.usb_name.leonardo="Leonardo"
leonardo.menu.usb_name.leonardo.build.usb_product="Arduino Leonardo"
leonardo.menu.usb_name.leonardo_1="Leonardo #1"
leonardo.menu.usb_name.leonardo_1.build.usb_product="Arduino Leonardo #1"
leonardo.menu.usb_name.leonardo_2="Leonardo #2"
leonardo.menu.usb_name.leonardo_2.build.usb_product="Arduino Leonardo #2"
leonardo.menu.usb_name.leonardo_3="Leonardo #3"
leonardo.menu.usb_name.leonardo_3.build.usb_product="Arduino Leonardo #3"
leonardo.menu.usb_name.leonardo_4="Leonardo #4"
leonardo.menu.usb_name.leonardo_4.build.usb_product="Arduino Leonardo #4"
