### Bug description

My controller has lost vibration functionality and some games are seeing it as a mouse and keyboard (Assetto Corsa Rally).

Sometimes it is being picked up as the wrong model as well - its a Gamesir G7 Pro but sometimes comes up as a kaleid model.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Turn controller on
2. Try any game with vibration
3. Check controller in system settings

### Expected behavior

1. Games will have vibration through controller
2. Games will treat it as a controller not mouse and keyboard

### Actual behavior

1. No vibration in any games
2. Some games treat controller as mouse and keyboard
