    A workaround that works for me using Steam:
    - If it's a non-Steam game, add the executable to your Steam Library in Windows
    - Start Steam in the Windows VM
    - Start Steam for MacOS
    - Select the Game you want to play in your Library, and choose "Stream" in Steam for MacOS
    -> Steam will stream the game from the VM to MacOS including controller support
    Tested with Mirror's Edge bought through GOG.

    Hello!
    The issue has been fixed in Parallels Desktop 20.3.0. Click 'Check for updates' in the product to install the latest Parallels Desktop 20 version.

    On 20.3.0, this still isn't working right with an Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. I bought Parallels to use the Xbox Accessories app, which is how you remap the extra paddle buttons on that controller.

    Parallels seems to be "emulating" the controller, whether plugged in or Bluetooth, as "Virtual Xbox Controller" if it's connected to the Mac, and "Controller" if it's connected to the guest Windows. Neither works with the Xbox Accessories app.
