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! 🎮🙃
Ok, but how many of those projects will result in death if one of the thumb sticks gets stuck or if the Bluetooth loses signal?
If it results in death when the controller stops working, you have a serious issue with the system architecture and should work on that instead of trying to improve the controller.
