The titan submarine used a gaming controller to move

The five-person private submarine Titan disappeared last week during a tourist trip to the wreck of the Titanic, and there is currently no word on its whereabouts or the health of its occupants. The submarine, which can travel up to 12,500 feet of water, can only be opened from the outside, and its poor security led to a lawsuit against the company that built it in 2018. Now, new images of the interior of the Titan have been released, which show that the submarine’s steering team used a cheap gaming controller to steer it.

Internet users have found out that the mentioned controller is the F710 model of Logitech. This controller costs only $30 and is not even among the best gaming controllers because many users complained about the poor quality of the D-Pad and its occasional crashes. At the moment, it is still not 100% clear that the Titan team used this controller, but in general, such use of gaming controllers is by no means a new issue, because according to the report of the Vice news agency, the US Navy has already used these controllers for Control had used some of its submarines, including their periscopes, and in general, many militaries around the world use these devices to control drones, tanks, and other military vehicles.
