Robotics developers, startups, and resalers furiously shopping for new HID peripherals (programming.dev)

That Logitech joystick model was a staple HID (Human Interface Device) and wireless peripheral for many robotics researchers and corporations. Pairing and range was better than any 2010's Bluetooth, and more compatible than OEM or hobby grade RF controllers. So many ROS projects used those. If both Xbox and PS DualShock controllers get cought amidst similar public ridicule, then we'll have nothing left! 🎮🙃

I thought I read that the pilot/CEO kept back up controllers on the craft, in case something went wrong with the first. But that still seems janky to me, lol. Wired would make me a lot more comfortable. But, it's a moot point anyway, since the controller wasn't the cause of the failure. The carbon fiber is what fucked them.
