The use of a video game controller to pilot the 23,000-pound Titan vessel on its dives 13,000 feet below sea level sparked mockery online, with some claiming the sub was destined to fail. The crew in the sub receives text message instructions from the surface ship and then uses the controller to steer the sub. Stockton Rush, the CEO of OceanGate Expeditions, the company behind the Titan's deep-sea tours, told CBS News in November that the vessel was operated with a modified Logitech gamepad controller. The support ship transports the vessel to and from the location where the dive is taking place. The submersible, called the Titan, is unlike a submarine in that it does not have enough power to leave and return to port on its own without the help of a mothership. The tourist submersible that went missing while carrying five people to view the Titanic shipwreck on Sunday is piloted with a video-game controller, prompting some criticism, but even the US Navy has utilized controllers in the past.
