That doesn't explain why they used the wireless version of that Logitech instead of wired to control the thing they were literally inside.

To be fair, they're under water and sharks have been known to chew through electrical cables

I suspect the wired cabling would be to control components inside the sub, not outside. And I say that only because it's unlikely that wireless signals would penetrate the sub walls.

Yes but with this sub the water was on the inside too

Electrical cables inside submarines?

That's hardcore.

Have you seen pictures of the sub? What makes you think the wiring was all hidden?

I'm mildly claustrophobic and I would have troubles going in that tube even on mainland.

they were building for billionaire pleasure trips, they'd HAVE to go with the no-wires aesthetic.
