When a receiver-paired mouse/keyboard is plugged in directly over USB,
it has no receiver to supply a codename. If it also lacks the
DEVICE_FRIENDLY_NAME feature (0x0007), the codename property fell back
to name.split(" ")[0] — truncating a good name like "G502 X PLUS" to
"G502" at the first space.
Use the full live device name instead, only dropping a leading
"Logitech" word. The live name is always accurate to the current
connection — unlike a persisted copy, which can go stale for devices
that report mode-variant names (e.g. a headset's "- Wireless Mode" vs
"- Wired Mode"). This matches what the centurion branch already does.

Solaar
Solaar is a Linux manager for many Logitech keyboards, mice, and other devices that connect wirelessly to a Unifying, Bolt, Lightspeed or Nano receiver as well as many Logitech devices that connect via a USB cable or Bluetooth. Solaar is not a device driver and responds only to special messages from devices that are otherwise ignored by the Linux input system.
