    I don’t see the issue in using a controller, the US Navy does the same

    I do. I’ve been an avid PC Gamer my entire adult life and I’ve never had a Logitech product that wasn’t terribly glitchy. When I heard that bit it made me feel like Moss in The IT Crowd.

      The difference is they collab with the military to make actual quality shit. Their consumer products are just a side-gig!

      Did you use this specific controller? It is actually a beast, very high quality and durable. I’ve used a Logitech Rumblepad 2for almost a decade. The only issue I had with it is that it did not support xinput, only direct input, so a lot of games do not support it anymore. But still works like a charm.

      However I won’t trust my life on it.

      Logitech used to make good controllers - dunno how they are now. But they shouldn’t have used a bluetooth one. But they did have a backup controller also. And probably didn’t plan on getting close to any obstacles they could collide with.

      Imo it’s the least problematic part of the whole setup.
