Related thread from 2023 about the US Navy using Xbox 360 controllers instead of custom built hardware.

Xbox 360 controller: Good times! US Navy approved.

Madcatz controller: Bad times! OceanGate approved.


Having had the unfortunate experience of using MadCatz controllers, I would doubt the sanity of anyone that selected one


OceanGate was Logitech not MadCatz


I deeply regret the error; MadCatz would have failed long before.

Gad those things were crap.


They'd probably still be alive if they used MadCatz, because it would have failed long before they submerged.
