    So I went through all of my virtual drivers and devices and disabled them one at a time. The culprit was HID-compliant game controller. As soon as I disabled that and rebooted my computer. Origin recognised my controller like nothing ever happened. Had this before with some of the Lego games but it keeps re-enabling itself.

Just had the same thing happen to me. Was happily playing ME1 on the controller using Steam (about 13 hours so far). The controller (wired 360) suddenly bugged out whilst talking to Joker on the Normandy (I'd just taken charge of the ship on the citadel). I quit the game. Restarted it. Controller not seen. I figured, let's restart everything, so if that sorts it. Restarted the PC. Launched Steam. Launched the game. The main menu where you get to select the games happily sees the controller, but then when I launch ME1, nadda, nothing, nix. I even thought maybe a the save was corrupted to roll back to an earlier one, and again ME1 still not seeing the controller. 

I managed to fix it. Right-click on the game in the Steam list and select Properties>Controller and Enable Steam Input. 

You know it's working because it has a controller config pop up in the bottom right. 

Still...not sure why it should be necessary to have to est and overwrite as the game should have controller support as a default.
