You're right if it would have been an xbox controller, it wouldn't have been crazy.

It was actually a basically ancient Logitech Controller, which had connection problems even when you use it inside your home in front of your pc.

I guess they can be pretty safe from radio interference there, at least :).

I doubt the connectivity issues need to exist, though, probably works just fine in some configurations. What I'm wondering though if they had a spare, and maybe a second spare, and space batteries, on the boat. Or possibly manual override (doesn't sound like it).

I think the device itself is fine, though it might be indicative of too aggressive cost cutting measures.

An article on APNews said there were multiple backups onboard... Which sort of engenders the thought of why they needed multiple backups. I'd be sure to have A backup, sure, but multiple?
