Every USB communication is between a host and and device. The host can be a PC, an OTG system, or an embedded system that doesn't support OTG but has USB host capability.

Hi, I am doing my research on this topic and i would like to ask that do the data copier devices use master/slave architecture? ??? the "source" port will act as a master and the "target" port will act as a slave as well.

Thz in advanced  :D

Products that copy data from one device to another have USB host capability to enable accessing both devices.

Both the source and target ports are device ports.

The host reads data from the device on one port and writes the the data to the device on the other port.

With the gamepad attached to a PC, you could use a hardware-based or software-only protocol analyzer. See:

Also see section 8.4 in the HID Usage Tables document
