Why Did the US Navy Use Xbox Controllers for Submarine Operations?

Question

By far the most surprising piece of information that I picked is that there is modern technology incorporated into submarines. I seem to recall that the US Navy used Xbox controllers for their submarines. Why was that the case?

Answer 1

In 2017, the US Navy incorporated the use of Xbox controllers in the operation of a photonic mast during submarine missions. This was easier for the crew as they were able to use the controllers without any problems.’
