> it’s strange on its face to use a game controller when we’ve all spilled soda or water on one and watched it become useless and they’re taking this into… the ocean… and just to add insult to injury,
I mean the buttons got sticky but that's the worst I saw, nothing a bit of IPA wouldn't fix.
But yeah, definitely red flag, especially that they used wireless one. Industrial (and so protected from dust and at least humidity) ones are not that expensive compared to the price of massive carbon tube at least
> playing on offbrand controllers always irritated me so to see them cut even further was super strange.
Lmao "offbrand" Logitech is one of biggest makes of accessories. They have both good and cheap stuff, this one is some midrange one so I doubt quality is a problem.
Also it's a PC controller, what "brand" would they be offing ?
Even wireless doesn't seem that much of an issue. There isn't going to be any external interference down there, so as long as they've tested all the systems it should be OK. Also it's not going to be dusty, and it's not humid (if anything the humidity is going to be very low as the water outside is cold, any moisture in the air will condense on the hull)
