Hot take: Your HOTAS interface to a vehicle carrying civilians or untrained personnel/passengers being a dual shock or Xbox motif gamepad is not just "fine", it's a damn good choice if it doesn't damage interface efficiency/functionality.
If there's even a shred of a chance some untrained, panicking person might need to lay hands on the controls to save a bunch of people or avert a disaster, having the main or a backup interface be a thing they have a 90% chance of having touched a lot in their life is an objective good thing.
I kind of roll my eyes every time someone talking about Oceangate goes to "lmao Xbox controller"
It's a sub. You don't even need to worry about roll. Do you want a full aircraft instrument panel or something?
@trysdyn I mean they could've gone for better quality than the bargain bin little brother controller
@Maverynthia @trysdyn don't "x3" me about people dying a horrific death, please
@noiob I don't see the rich as people, but OK.
