    I don’t think that’s particularly bad. Logitech makes reliable input devices. I recall that the US Navy switched to Xbox controllers to control their periscopes on nuclear submarines and saved millions of dollars and found that people understood the controls better.

      Sure, but they should still have to be vetted by the Defense Logistics Agency. That includes Quality Assurance overview.

      The navy uses it for periscopes, and training. Not piloting anything like this. This thing was definitely made as cheap as possible.
