Steering was done using Logitech G F710 game controllers as well.
I use the USB version of it on my PC. It ain't the best for games. Probably not great for operating underwater craft either
WTF
I mean, a game controller itself isn't that weird to use. A lot of places, including the military, will just use one because it's off the shelf, decently ergonomic, and fairly intuitive.
Using a wireless one, let alone a wireless one known for having connection problems doesn't seem like the best idea, though. I would have expected a wired one, or something along those lines.
What happens if someone forgot to charge it, and didn't bring any replacement batteries? Would they just be sunk?
No way! Really?
