Lol is this picture real? Im guessing no, still funny
Yeah, it’s probably fake, apparently its a montage on top of a random Google picture
Only source i have to this affirmation is a YouTube video, but it makes more sense than it being real, and the video showed proof, and as far as i know there isn’t any proof of this being real soo…
But it’s indeed kinda funny
Absolutely no idea. Since it’s from one of the *chans I wouldn’t trust it 😅 but yeah, still funny
Definitely fake
The forces down there obliterated the sub, turned humans into little more than molecule soup and scattered the whole thing across a huge open area.
A real controller would be mulch from the pressure
That’s not really true. Pressure doesn’t really make a difference if there’s no pressure-difference. The controller body is filled with water and is pushing back. The pressure alone wouldn’t harm the controller.
I do agree with you that the controller would be mulch though. It was in a pressure vessel that imploded at 3800m depth, so everything inside the pressure vessel would be crushed as well.
@interolivary Logitech build quality was never a problem. The problem with Logitech, and most of the gaming brands, is their software which is utterly shit.
That Logitech F710 have never received a firmware update or even a driver update.
I’ve had some Logitech mice and keyboards is always the same story. They trend to work better without their software than with the “Logitech G suite” installed.Same applies to Corsair, NZXT, Razer, Asus (Armory Crate) and many more.
I mean, the build quality isn’t a problem for terrestrial use where your life doesn’t depend on it. A 1% failure rate (I don’t know what it actually is, just pulling a number out of my ass) is not bad in those cases, but I’d be a bit nervous about it in a sub.
So, you’d also be nervous knowing all U.S. nuclear subs also use an XBox controller?

The fact of the matter is, gaming peripherals are probably close to the very best we have in human/machine interfaces. They’ve been studied to oblivion and back, for over 40 years.
The Navy also has redundancies and procedures in place for when those controllers fail. The controller doesn’t determine whether the crew lives or dies.
IIRC the controller is used for the periscope.
They’ve also been studied to Morrowind and Skyrim and back.
@interolivary Again their products are reliable. I’m still using some Logitech X-540 on my desktop PC and they still sound incredible.
Now when you move to devices that require software like mice and keyboards, there’s not gaming brand that does that good or even “acceptable”.
Even the Xbox controller had an issue in Steam were it used to fulfill your hard drive with screenshots. Microsoft had to release a driver update.
Again gaming devices have lots of software issues.🧵 1 / 2
Oh I get it, I’m not saying they’re unreliable for normal gaming use (something like a 1% failure rate would be great for consumer stuff), but that I wouldn’t want to bet my life on one.
@interolivary There’s a middle point that I share with you.
They shouldn’t had used a device make for consumers. They should engineered a controller that could stand harsh uses like military or scientific purposes.Also, pardon my language, who in the fuck thinks that’s a good idea to use a controller that uses an old technology like WiFi 2.4GHz and only batteries, no USB cable.
A device for those purposes should be wired and with Half Dome sticks (which prevents drift).🧵 2 / 2
Yeah, and it’s extra weird considering that the Logitech mouse software is pretty decent. I have a Logitech controller and it’s really solid hardware wise, but I never use it because the software sucks making it a pain to set it up in games. I just stick with a plain old Xbox controller instead.
This is fake. If there is a Logitech controller underwater, it’s not from OceanGate. No footage had been released when this photo was first posted.
