Hate to grave dig, but if you still have the device, perhaps I could help. I am not sure how tech savvy you are, but the first thing I noticed is you didn't check to see what the error message was in the device manager...you may have done that but showing us the message would help. The first and foremost thing I would suggest doing is trying the device on a different computer, if it works there then it's not the device. Regardless of the result I would suggest uninstalling the driver and resinstalling it buy going into the device manager and right clicking on the device and selecting uninstall. Restart your computer if necessary and plug the device back in, then install the firmware again as that could solve the issue. Sometimes drivers don't get installed correctly, or the registry entry is messed up, among other things. If that doesn't work, I suggest starting here and looking up device not recognized threads to see if you can find a solution: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/871233
Otherwise, don't assume that because a product isn't working that it is broken, and certainly don't claim the product is trash and tell others not to buy it as that will get you absolutely nowhere. What people need to understand is that the manufacturing process is not perfect, there is guaranteed to be faulty products regardless of how good their QA team is. You take the risk of getting a faulty product with every single purchase you make.
Also, sometimes drivers actually do not get selected when applying them. It probably shouldn't be saying USB Composite Device unless the driver doesn't change the name as it usually does. Thus, you can try going into the device manager, finding the device, eight click, update driver, select browse my computer for driver software, hit let me pick from a list of device drivers from my computer and see if there are any other options, if so select the other option and it will apply that driver. You can even select drivers that aren't even supposed to go with the device from this interface, for example, I have a mouse that has garbage range (a half a meter from the receiver causes jitters) and am testing different drivers to see if they fix the issue...I'm using a Logitech driver right now even though it is an entirely different brand.
