Description

https://github.com/ChocolateLoverRaj/linux-gamepad-input/blob/2b934d4a653f86c3e2082fbef4d5126b1d58d794/helpers/isGamepad.js#L2

Adding more names could help, but maybe there is a better way to check if a bluetooth device is a gamepad.

Research direction

Start by reading helpers/isGamepad.js at line 2 in the linked linux-gamepad-input repository and inspect how the Raspberry Pi project identifies Bluetooth devices as gamepads. Determine whether adding device names is sufficient or whether a more reliable check is needed. Done means additional gamepads can connect automatically without misidentifying unrelated Bluetooth devices.
