The knockoff playstation controller angle the media are blatting about wrt. the Titan loss is a red herring.
The sub is designed for computer control, so obviously using a cheap, standardized input device is what you'd expect. It's so cheap/standardized they can carry a spare or two if they want.
The real question is whether it SHOULD have been software controlled, and what quality and safety metrics the developers used. (Submarine architecture is incredibly conservative for good reason!)
