    Dude that’s not an Xbox controller, it’s a Logitech third party you’d have fights over your buddies with to not have to use.

    Also, Xbox controllers are not used where people’s lives are at risk. Periscopes, drones, etc. but they’re not using them as primary controls on human manned craft.

      I owned that controller, it’s the Logitech 710

      It was actually one of the most reliable 3rd party wireless controllers. Since it used a fob it also worked when Bluetooth was unreliable (which has been most of my bluetooth experiences)

      Still seems stupid to use it for a sub, but for playing games I’d def use it over a lot of controllers.

        I don’t know why so many people are spending effort defending the controller. Fine, it’s a good controller, yes. Put more energy into wondering why:

        a) they used a wireless controller at all, instead of a wired one, or
        b) they didn’t just use the best possible controller money can buy? Spend $10,000 on the controller. QA the shit out of it. Make it a controller gods would weep to game with. Put that in a submarine where human lives depend on it.
