Well, they had a slightly used controller on clearance at GameStop and most of the buttons still worked. Nobody’s got time to pay for a legit XBox controller.

Dude probably had to do an evasive maneuver and the left trigger drift made him crash into the titanic.
At least get their pilot one of those new PS5 Dualsense Edge controllers, ffs. Or if coolness is a factor, how about an old Nintendo Power Glove? Now that'd be badass.

Hopefully not the cheap ones from amazon that you buy because you're too cheap to pony up for an O.E controller.

One interview said something they could've done was deploy beacons that float at the top as a contingency plan to help spot if something went wrong, which I think is more practical. |

Off topic slightly, but back when I was a college student we had a problem in our engineering coursework where we had to estimate the impact of a chain on a bucket that was being lowered. (It was some sort of deep-earth mining scenario in the problem statement.) It was kind of surprising how quickly the chain became a huge weight issue that impacted the power needed to get the chain back up, and the stresses at the top of the chain.

We've reduced everything to one button. An elevator button.
uhhhhh I'm pressing the button and nothing is happening. What now? Well, nothing. That's the button. It's streamlined. |

Maybe the problem was that the one button did everything. It simultaneously raised the sub, released the ballast, flushed the toilet, turned the lights on and off, and opened the bolts on the hatch.
