Let’s go in an experimental sub with a Nintendo controller 2.5 miles deep in the open ocean.

C'mon, man, don't get all hyperbolic about how the sub was constructed.

It's laughable that you think that they used a Nintendo Controller on a multi-million dollar deep sea research vessel designed and constructed by experts in their fields.

It was a Logitech controller...

And the controller was wireless, what could go wrong? But the controller is not the reason the sub collapsed I think it was the mating of two dissimilar materials, carbon fiber and titanium, plus all the compression cycles it had gone through before the final trip. I think prior to this fatal trip the sub had gone down to the Titanic at least seven times.

He should have used a Commodore 64. Well known for their rugged reliability.
