That doesn't explain why they used the wireless version of that Logitech instead of wired to control the thing they were literally inside.

To be fair, they're under water and sharks have been known to chew through electrical cables

I suspect the wired cabling would be to control components inside the sub, not outside. And I say that only because it's unlikely that wireless signals would penetrate the sub walls.

Too dense to pick up on the obvious sarcasm, I see.

i think you’re supposed to say wooosh or something like that

"That doesn't explain why they used the wireless version of that Logitech instead of wired to control the thing they were literally inside."

Yes, that sarcasm is profound and deep.

In case my implied message is unclear, go fuck yourself.

Electrical cables inside submarines?

That's hardcore.

Have you seen pictures of the sub? What makes you think the wiring was all hidden?

It looked worse than cheapest capsule hotel ever built...

I'm mildly claustrophobic and I would have troubles going in that tube even on mainland.

The same reason you use the wireless version of any controller.

If you run into issues you can simply plug in any wireless controller.
