I purchased a magic mouse off craigslist and would like to change the device name. It shows the previous owner's name. Currently i'm running Mac OS X version 10.5.8
Magic Mouse -OTHER, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
Go to System Preferences > Bluetooth > highlight the mouse on the left > click the Gear icon below the list and select rename.

On my Mac, there is no option to "Rename" under the gear wheel.
