The title seems like absolute clickbait, implying the $30 controller is at fault. Yes, I have read the article and this is not the case. It wouldn't even make sense anyway. But the title together with a mid two digit dollar number heavily try to imply this. The US military uses $49 XBox controllers for basically everything: Training CPGs, drone control hubs and drum roll submarines among a lot of other things. The only gist to take from this is that controllers make fantastic interfaces. Not sure why we need to spotlight this with a potential drama/disaster in relation to it's price.
