Let me start by saying that I am new to the forums and registered just to ask this. I have found these forums to be very helpful for a lot of various computer issues I've had in the past, and finally decided to register here. Also: since this is truly a cross-category question/idea, I truly do not know which sub forums to post on. I chose this one because I'm pretty sure it's the most fitting category.
My question is this: Can 2 VR Gamepads with the same brand/model (such as this "VR Box" controller: http://www.ebay.com/itm/162132706458) connect at the same time to a PC via bluetooth at the same time, then a third party program such as X360CE takes control over them to emulate a 360 controller for any PC game? You'd have 2 analog sticks, 4 shoulder buttons, and 12 buttons (4 of which could easily be used for the d-pad), so in theory it should work well. Incase you don't know what X360CE is: it was made for tricking computers into thinking non-360 controllers are 360 controllers ("Xbox 360 Controller Emulator" is its proper name). I have no question that X360CE would work and do that part without issues, so my only real question is if a computer even can connect to two of the same devices with the same model/brand over bluetooth and use both at the same time, or if that just wouldn't work. They are 3.0 Bluetooth devices, which as far as I know 3.0 Bluetooth can connect to more than one device simultaneously (correct me if I'm wrong), but I cannot find anything on if they can with 2 of the exact same brand/model.
If it's not possible, the two alternatives come to mind:
The first is if you have two USB bluetooth dongles connected to your computer at once, could you then connect two of the same bluetooth model/brand controllers at the same time by connecting each VR Controller to its own dongle? Again theoretically it seems possible, but I don't know, hence why I'm asking.
The other idea is if two different model/brand controllers could connect at the same time to a PC, such as one of the previously linked "VR Box" controller (http://www.ebay.com/itm/162132706458) and one of the "VR Case" controllers (http://www.ebay.com/itm/191904968951), with one or two dongles (whichever is needed).
You may be thinking "Why are they even wanting to know/do this?" I've always had a liking of odd controllers. If this can work, then it'd be the most unusual 360 controller for PC for under $20 total.
