Also make them illegal in aircraft! And spacecraft! Seriously stupid.

I vote for cheap PlayStation controllers.

Weren't they using an Xbox controller for that Titan sub?

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It was a Logitech F710.

Should have used a madcatz controller, then they would have had a turbo button.

[–] averyfalken@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 11 months ago

No it was a PC controller in the form factor of a PlayStation controller

I suppose the advantage on aircraft and spacecraft is that they consolidate functions so you don't have to have 90,000 switches in the cockpit, half of which you won't ever need.

Anything you need to find in an emergency absolutely should be a physical switch but anything else can probably be a UI interface.

But in the car you need to keep your eyes on the road at all times, which isn't so much of a requirement in the air.

If you can consolidate the UI to make it with work with touchscreen, you can make it work with something like Keyboard + trackball mouse and you can get rid of that touchscreen. I know it’s not the same stake situation but have people forgotten how much functionality blackberry had with QWERTY and few more buttons. Shame that the company went out the way it did

I can't think of a switch you won't ever need. I think the "sce to aux" story is a good example of when you need it you need it.
