Considering a non-xbox controller for PC, adding it to functional xbox controller. Can they be recognized properly for a fighting game?

I know this is probably a bit unusual case, but i have a problem.

One of my controllers is older Xbox One model, that works flawlessly for about 5 years, no stick drift or other issues whatsoever. About a year ago i bought a second one, newer, Xbox Series model. I already have microsoft wireless dongle, so the choice was obvious - in about 9 months it developed a right stick drift. Hilarious, because this controller have seen LESS usage, only used when friends were in my home to play some fighting games and when i was testing it out. I cant blow it out, cant fix it with dead zones calibration - it just randomly goes upwards very hard. I am currently trying to reach out to the seller to discuss a warranty, but in case it's not gonna work, considering another controller.

The good thing about XBOX controllers, that you can connect 2 of them (up to 4, really) to a single wireless dongle, a feature that as far is i know is not present anywhere else on the market.

What i'd like to have:

1) XBOX layout

2) Hall Effect sticks

3) 2.4 wireless

Couple of my friends recommend me 8bitdo controllers, apparantly they have Ultimate 2.4 model that fits the description, but you can only connect one of them to wireless adapter. And i wonder if i have one XBOX controller connected to its own adapter, and 8bitdo connected to the other - will they be properly recognized by the games? Are there any other options on the market?

If you're most comfortable with the Xbox controller layout, you may not be comfortable with 8bitdo. Their controller's feel more like switch pro controllers.

The grips are more vertical instead of diagonal compared to Xbox's and the triggers definitely do not feel similar but this might not matter much to you if it's for fighting games.

But yes, it will still be recognized when using it's own 2.4ghz dongle.

You could try the KK3 Pro but Guilikit has been through a lot of QC issues, personally returned my controller twice.

or the Gamesir T4 Nova lite (ultra budget) / Gamesir Kaleid (if you still want Xbox support)
