Will Vega OS (Fire TV Stick 4K Select) recognize a 2.4GHz USB Gamepad via OTG? (Budget maxed) URGENT PLS HELP!!

Hey everyone, I need a quick answer before I open my packages!

I’m building an ultra-budget Xbox Cloud Gaming setup and my budget is absolutely locked. To save ₹1500, I cancelled my order for a Bluetooth controller and bought an OTG adapter to use my old PC controller instead.

My Gear:

• Device: Fire TV Stick 4K Select (Running the new Vega OS)

• Adapter: Micro USB OTG Y-Splitter (with power passthrough)

• Controller: Redgear Pro Wireless Gamepad (2.4GHz USB Dongle, NOT Bluetooth)

• Audio (Zero-lag hack): HDMI to TV, 3.5mm Aux from TV directly to my Sony HT-RT40 Analog In.

The Problem / Question:

I just learned the new 4K Select uses Amazon's new Vega OS, not the old Android-based Fire OS. Since I cancelled my Bluetooth controller, I'm screwed if the new OS blocks USB dongles.

Does anyone know for sure if Vega OS and the Xbox app will still recognize a 2.4GHz USB dongle via OTG? Has anyone physically tested this yet?

Thanks in advance!
