So I have some games on my phone that support Bluetooth gamepads.
However the only gamepad I have, unfortunately doesn't have bluetooth but connects via USB.
If it matters: I'm using Windows 10, and an Android phone.

I did my reasearch and "Across" won't work as I actually tried it out, and it turns out they don't support gamepads. Also I don't want to modify my USB controller and actually turn it into a bluetooth controller. Also I did look into usb to micro usb converter and I decided i could but would ask here first in case there is some program I can install or some fancy trick.

Is there a way I can take the USB of the gamepad, plug it into my computer, and send those inputs over bluetooth to my phone?

If you want to go for a fun project you need a bluetooth capable MCU (10$) like the esp32 and some time and skill to get it running smoothly. Latency is not a topic with BLE once setup properly.
If you just want to reuse "old" controllers forget it its. You get 15 to 20$ BLE gamepads with european/american online seller like A****n marketplace. If you want to read a how to (there are better and easier (without soldering) around, but just to give you an idea about the time to spend..
