This could make the device acts as a standalone adapter without needing a PC.

reading xinput and DS3 controller inputs should be possible with this lib: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0#xbox-libraries

I am not sure if your suggestion is for serialusb or the GIMX adapter.

In the first case you still want the USB transfers to be saved on the computer (atmega32u4 chip has a very limited amount of memory).

In the second case, you loose the advantage of using the computer input stack, which provides almost 100% compatibility with existing and future devices.
