    @interolivary Again their products are reliable. I’m still using some Logitech X-540 on my desktop PC and they still sound incredible.
    Now when you move to devices that require software like mice and keyboards, there’s not gaming brand that does that good or even “acceptable”.
    Even the Xbox controller had an issue in Steam were it used to fulfill your hard drive with screenshots. Microsoft had to release a driver update.
    Again gaming devices have lots of software issues.

      Oh I get it, I’m not saying they’re unreliable for normal gaming use (something like a 1% failure rate would be great for consumer stuff), but that I wouldn’t want to bet my life on one.

      @interolivary There’s a middle point that I share with you.
      They shouldn’t had used a device make for consumers. They should engineered a controller that could stand harsh uses like military or scientific purposes.

      Also, pardon my language, who in the fuck thinks that’s a good idea to use a controller that uses an old technology like WiFi 2.4GHz and only batteries, no USB cable.
      A device for those purposes should be wired and with Half Dome sticks (which prevents drift).
