    I’m out of the loop on this. Was the sub actually controlled by a Logitech game controller?

      Yes, and apparently things like that are standard.

      IIRC the US military buys genuine Xbox controllers, but the only source I have for that is another Lemmy comment so take it with more salt than however much manages to seep into the submarine from the ocean water.

      Yes, but it did also have hardwired emergency controls that they could use if the controller failed.

      Compare that to Crew Dragon, which flies Astronauts to the ISS with a touchscreen (also with a backup)
