minus-square@T156linkEnglish1•2 years agoI mean, a game controller itself isn’t that weird to use. A lot of places, including the military, will just use one because it’s off the shelf, decently ergonomic, and fairly intuitive.

What happens if someone forgot to charge it, and didn’t bring any replacement batteries? Would they just be sunk?
