I don’t see the issue in using a controller, the US Navy does the same

I do. I've been an avid PC Gamer my entire adult life and I've never had a Logitech product that wasn't terribly glitchy. When I heard that bit it made me feel like Moss in The IT Crowd.

Did you use this specific controller? It is actually a beast, very high quality and durable. I've used a Logitech Rumblepad 2for almost a decade. The only issue I had with it is that it did not support xinput, only direct input, so a lot of games do not support it anymore. But still works like a charm.

However I won't trust my life on it.

The difference is they collab with the military to make actual quality shit. Their consumer products are just a side-gig!

Logitech used to make good controllers - dunno how they are now. But they shouldn't have used a bluetooth one. But they did have a backup controller also. And probably didn't plan on getting close to any obstacles they could collide with.

Imo it's the least problematic part of the whole setup.
