That Logitech joystick model was a staple HID (Human Interface Device) and wireless peripheral for many robotics researchers and corporations. Pairing and range was better than any 2010’s Bluetooth, and more compatible than OEM or hobby grade RF controllers. So many ROS projects used those. If both Xbox and PS DualShock controllers get cought amidst similar public ridicule, then we’ll have nothing left! 🎮🙃
That wasn’t the dumb part of that submersible. Game controllers are actually really good at what they do. The dumb part is that it was built like an airplane.
