The observed differences between the kernel provided by ELRepo and the one provided by the Kmods SIG are very likely due to the different kernel version. Assuming that both are of the same version, there are only minor differences between the kernels provided by ELRepo and the Kmods SIG. The only obvious difference is which versions are provided. ELRepo provides two kernels for each EL major release: kernel-ml and kernel-lt. The Kmods SIG provides up to 5 LTS kernels for each EL major release, but stops providing the latest kernel (called kernel-ml by ELRepo) once the EL major release goes out of full support phase.

Possibly, I was after the 6.6 LTS version of the kernel. As the device I was having issues with is the 8bitdo Ultimate Wireless Controller, which I use for gaming with Steam. Support for it came in Kernel 6.5.

I only recently found out that the Kmods SIG is producing Fedora flavored EL kernels. I installed 6.6 yesterday and it has resolved all my issues with a device I have that wasn't being detected and it also had no issues with the NVIDIA dkms drivers I use.
I just wanted to say thank you to the Kmods SIG team and know that the work is appreciated. CentOS should have a blog post on this and be promoting it on twitter as an option for EL users that need a newer kernel (I see ELREPO recommended a lot, but I had many DKMS issues with it).

Would you mind elaborating on the "many DKMS issues" with ELRepo kernels?
Thanks, Akemi
I often would get DKMS build failures on the Kernel-LT from elrepo for the NVIDIA driver.

ELRepo's kernel-lt is 6.1 (as opposed to kernel-ml which is 6.13 at the moment). You have installed SIG's kernel 6.6. I wonder if this version difference (6.1 vs 6.6) is the reason why ...
