These "Virtual Gamepads" are getting reported with "Virtual Gamepad: 3q9E8kho9" as the name of the device type/class.  All the actual gamepad controller devices report only the type, not the unique instance.  Approximately 20 uses of "Virtual Gamepad" are the exception.

As for the STMicro device (Vendor: 0483 Product: 572b), I don't know if that's garbage or something significant but its a single instance...
