i cannot recommend people stay away from these Logitech controllers enough, terrible dpad, one of the mushiest possible, triggers that fail in a few months, face buttons that fail in under a year, it's cheap, but there's better cheap controllers. the f710 is even worse because it has the same problems but more expensive, plus it's on a band that is full of interference if you have a wifi signal anywhere near it, same button and trigger failures. the sticks on them aren't bad, but i've never had one live long enough to even start to drift. edit: forgot about the deadzone issue, sticks do have huge deadzones.
edit: THEY WERE USING THE F710 TO CONTROL THE SUB? what the hell man, why why why. a vanilla xbone controller lasts so much longer and is so much more reliable.
Jokes aside this is a good no frills PC controller, i brought mine years ago and has held up. I have long upgraded too a Xbox but this is great for a new or young gamer. Would not recommend it to control heavy equipment.
I know they say that no press is bad press. But when it comes to an international incident like this, where people were potentially entombed 2 miles deep in the ocean because they used what everyone views as a knockoff controller, then yeah, I'd say that is some bad press.

Amazing how you've completed a root cause analysis before literally anybody actually knowledgeable about the situation. But while we have an expert here: "knockoff" of what?
Came in here to make a crude, "too-soon", and inappropriate submarine-driving joke and dismayed to see I've been beat to the punch by like a dozen people. What's the world coming to?

According to an article I read, they kept a couple of spares in the sub, so probably not the controller that's at fault.
Any number of things could have gone wrong. We might get the scoop at a press conference 2 hours from now:
"A debris field was discovered within the search area by an ROV [remotely operated vehicle] near the Titanic," the U.S. Coast Guard announced late Thursday morning. "Experts within the unified command are evaluating the information."
A press conference is scheduled for 3 p.m. Thursday, during which officials will discuss their findings.
According to the Coast Guard, the unmanned ROV that found the debris field was launched from the Horizon Arctic, a Canadian vessel whose ROV reached the sea floor and began searching for the sub at around 7:30 a.m. ET Thursday. A French-owned ROV called the Victor 6000, one of few vehicles able to reach the depths of the Titanic, was also deployed around the same time on Thursday.

Honestly, 'no press is bad press' seems to be kind of true, at least in my case and looks like probably for others too.
I saw the sub article and it reminded me how much I loved my old F710 (the wireless version of this) and I ordered one right after. It was actually hard to find a good price, Amazon has some now at $30, but they ran out of stock completely for several days, and most other places are still showing them as out of stock or available at way higher prices.
I think the narrative is closer to 'Wow, it's cool that they drove a sub with that' as opposed to 'Look at that shitty controller that they used'.
