Built with shit from Home Depot, controlled with a literal Logitech game controller, construction pipes as ballast... holy fuck, why would anybody agree to go 3.7km below the surface of the ocean in that deathtrap?

Imagine paying $250k and the pilot pulls out the player 2 controller

Those Logitech controllers are actually pretty decent. I've had one for ages and it's still going strong.

And it's easily replaceable in case of failure. Of all the design shortcuts this one isn't bad.

lmao for real. Couldn't even fork out for a first party controller.
