I'm the developer of ROBOTC -- one of the available programming solutions for the FTC -- and also reasonably familiar with the LabVIEW stuff as well.

I have forwarded a reference to this thread to the NI developer of the Controller Station.

I have no problem on my PC connecting game controllers via a USB hub.

I believe LabVIEW uses the Microsoft DirectX functions "wrapped" by the "LVInput.dll" file. You just might want to do a search on your PC disk and make sure that you only have one copy of it on your C-disk.

NOTE: The ROBOTC IDE (Integrated Development Environment) has "Controller Station" functionality built into the IDE. You might want to give it a try and see if it is working. Being built-in to the IDE you can easily switch between compile/edit/download program source and then try it out on the Controller Station without having to exit NXT-G / LabVIEW and entering the Controller Station.
