Question. Who are they actually suing? Didn't the bozo die along with everyone else? So who would hold responsibility?

It appears they are suing OceanGate, the company that made the submarine. The use of cheap, consumer grade hardware for critical functions (literally controlling the sub) is one of their criticisms.

I don't see why the controller is a problem.

If you go out and custom-make a controller, it's not likely going to be more reliable than anything that Logitech makes.

iirc they mentioned the f710 constantly disconnected.

Sounds about right from my experience with the F710.
