This is an interesting article that makes some good points. Why re-invent the wheel and potentially make something unnecessarily complicated and less reliable when simple items with simple electronics often have less that could go wrong?
Maybe, but wired is simpler then wireless and it sounds like everything was done on the cheapest possible route. It’s likely the controller, which was for the camera control(?) had nothing to do with the failure, but does shed some light into the design philosophy.
I think most people are roasting their choice of game controller. The cheapo Logitech model. Plus if they wanted simple and reliable I would think a wired version would be better, not the wireless model. The military is all the time using them for controlling UAVs and stuff in the field. Nobody really pokes fun because it doesn’t look like the cheap controller you’d hand off to “player 2”.
Stop mocking the missing Titan submersible for being piloted with a video game controller. Submersibles are more reliable when the devices used in them are kept simple, marine scientist says.

Im mocking them for going deep underwater in a tin can to look at bunch of rusty metal. Oh and they paid for the pleasure.
