I had a Logitech F310 which started malfunctioning, where the left stick's signal was always halfway to the left. Logitech's quality isn't what it used to be. I can imagine something like this happening on the submarine. Question is whether they had a replacement and if they even recognized that the gamepad was malfunctioning.

Fun fact: The Logitech Extreme 3D-stick is used in many professional systems, but those are reliable.

I feel like that's the different between buying something and repurposing it and buying something and using it as intended.

In other words. Use the right tool for the job. A hammer isn't a screwdriver just because you can technically hammer in screws.
