@interolivary Logitech build quality was never a problem. The problem with Logitech, and most of the gaming brands, is their software which is utterly shit.

That Logitech F710 have never received a firmware update or even a driver update.
I've had some Logitech mice and keyboards is always the same story. They trend to work better without their software than with the "Logitech G suite" installed.

Same applies to Corsair, NZXT, Razer, Asus (Armory Crate) and many more.

I mean, the build quality isn't a problem for terrestrial use where your life doesn't depend on it. A 1% failure rate (I don't know what it actually is, just pulling a number out of my ass) is not bad in those cases, but I'd be a bit nervous about it in a sub.

So, you'd also be nervous knowing all U.S. nuclear subs also use an XBox controller?

The fact of the matter is, gaming peripherals are probably close to the very best we have in human/machine interfaces. They've been studied to oblivion and back, for over 40 years.

IIRC the controller is used for the periscope.
