A fan shares another surprising fact about the controllers’ uses beyond the world of gaming.
Every army uses controllers to control drones etc. Cheap, reliable, easy to operate and replace. This isn't a problem.

Another user feels the company is at fault for relying such heavily on a cheap Logitech controller.
Clearly isn’t a problem, they’re not gonna spend millions and millions creating the sub to them cheap out on the device to control it 🤦🏼♂️

An angry user condemns the use of controllers in every major market that may have a risk to life.
for the "but it is not uncommon, others do the same"-crowd: a bad idea does not turn into a good one by having many people repeat the same mistake

Another fan breaks down the design flaw of the submarine.
Well, it's just not just the controller that's the issue. If they resurfaced, they wouldn't be able to open up because they are all bolted in. Only way to get out is if someone unscrews the blots. No emergency escape hatch. Poor souls.
