Same joysticks, same problem. There's no way to tell them apart, and I can't find any way that allows me to rename them that actually works either.
They also don’t always map to the same joystick in the game after a system reboot. I’ve found that when they are swapped I can swap the USB ports they are plugged into to get back to what I’ve mapped in the game. Luckily I have them plugged in adjacent to one another in a hub on my desk. But for folks with them plugged in in harder to reach places or people with limited mobility to go ducking with their cables constantly it is a poor solution. The game should identify them correctly each time. All other flight sims and space ccr combat games I play do not have this issue it is definitely a bug and likely that the dev team responsible did not anticipate a HOSAS setup or any reason users would have two sticks with the same vendor name plugged in. Silly bug.
