When will WMR Thumbstick input support be added?

This has been an issue for quite some time, I’ve found threads that date as far back as 2015 that highlight the fact that thumb stick input support is just not there.

The “solution” that was posted has already been natively solved with SteamVR: How to enable Windows Mixed Reality joysticks for more SteamVR games | Windows Central
So I’m just curious as to why Unreal Engine hasn’t yet added support for the Windows Mixed Reality joystick inputs? Am I missing something?

Thank you in advance and apologies if I’m missing something really straightforward.

The official WMR plugin that came out with 4.21 should support it, and the beta input in the steamVR plugin also supports it.

They are simply deprecating the old hard coded input method eventually.
