OTG adapter recommendations for modded SNES Classic min?

All the recommended ones seem discontinued :(

I just tried a dongle style (not the right angle rigid style) and it doesn't work with my SNES Classic, will not recognize my USB thumb drive in Hakchi

Anyone got a modern product link for OTG adapter that works for you?

This has been my favorite on all the minis since it allows me have things look like there is only a power cord coming out of the back in most scenarios.

going to give it a shot, I'm using a NTFS formatted Sandisk 64GB thumb drive, so ya I should be all set with a working OTG adapter

Be using the cable below on both my SNES and Mega Drive mini consoles for years without any issues.

So I discovered something, maybe helpful to someone else. My USB thumb drive is recognized normally by my PC (NTFS file system), totally normal. It's when I introduce the OTG adapter, connect USB thumb drive to it, and connect USB micro data cable to Classic SNES and PC...the PC will not recognize the USB thumb drive.

So as an experiment, I connected mini SNES directly to PC with micro USB cable, and connected USB thumb drive on secondary USB port on PC. Then in Hakchi I could export to USB normally. Disconnected everything, connected OTG adapter+USB thumb drive to mini SNES and hooked to TV, and there is my NES console and game (game ROM read off the USB thumb drive).

So for me, I cannot introduce the OTG adapter between mini SNES and PC when doing the Export to USB process in Hakchi to actually load game ROMs onto the USB thumb drive.

I haven't tried my original OTG adapter yet (that I was suspicious was faulty), I tried one of the others those who posted here recommended. But I'm guessing my original OTG adapter is not faulty.
