So! These are the options and respective logs; they still don't make the controller work - it doesn't work at all.

I can reproduce this 100% of the times, on multiple host O/S distributions (the current one being based on Ubuntu 18.04 x86-64). I compile QEMU directly from source, and execute it via commandline; the command is very long, however, the relevant part is standard (I think): -usb \ -device usb-tablet \ -device usb-host,vendorid=0x$VGAPT_XBOX_PAD_VEND_ID,productid=0x$VGAPT_XBOX_PAD_PROD_ID \ The guest is Windows 10 64bit.
