Yes, with the right parts. Here's the rest of what I bought:
Yes. The stick will use one of the four USB ports in the RPi4 leaving you with three available ports. I have the version with the trackball and I modded the panel to use a spinner so I have one available USB port.
There is a hole in the rear where you feed the power and HDMI cables out which is where your external controller cables would go into the RPi4.
Personally, I would consider buying drilling a hole in the front and installing something like this:
That way you can plug two additional controllers in without opening the case. Keep in mind, if your controllers are Bluetooth or use a dongle you don't need to physically connect at all. The RPi4 will support it.
