They are not suing Logitech. They're suing OceanGate and using the controller as an example of poor design and decision making.

This is what happens from only reading the title and making assumptions...

IMO that argument weakens their case. The controller was one of the least problematic things they did. Mechanical controls would have compromised the hull even more, so it was always going to be controlled electronically. I hope the complaint at least offers examples of better options and how those would have had any effect at all on hull integrity.
