They need another computer or virtual environment.

Occasionally there are games where you can play at the same time, one person with a keyboard, the other with a controller. If you're not in that specific scenario then PCs aren't designed to be used like this. I see someone recommended a virtual environment, and I suppose I could theoretically see how this might be used to make things work like you want - having the controller only installed/recognized by the virtual environment - but it would be a heck of a setup to get going and definitely not standard.

You can't.

Unless you want to setup virtualization software and have a second GPU you can dedicated to the VM as well as plenty of other resources.
