I tried connecting it to other USB hubs, all of them to be exact. nothing is showing up..
Someone said the problem could be : electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Hello messiah,
As discussed via email, please, provide us exact cabling setup you used at the moment where the second controller is damaged. We need to understand how it happened before sending another spare controller to replace. I believe it is caused by wrong cabling.

You are right Eduard, 2 times I managed to kill the controller by the usb cable that powers the blackbox, was inserted into the sys slot in the joystick and instantly killed it. x2 times. ( by wrong cabling )
Could you guys test this? i'm sure you can replicate this easily.
1.Joystick was connected to the PC.
2.Pedals were connected to the Blackbox.
4.Pulled out the USB cable from the blackbox and inserted it in the SYS port and it got instantly killed(joystick)
5.The usb cable with the ending square was inserted in the SYS port and killed it. (cause it fits for some reason)
6.The usb cable was powered by my pc when I inserted the square usb in the SYS port and killed it.
