It's interesting to contrast this with all the complaints about the Titan sub using off-the-shelf components.

They are red herrings. For the price of one of these trash cans the Titan could've had perhaps three complete independent control systems including Logitech gaming controllers.

I somehow thought it would be much more expensive than $50k to produce a small number of custom controllers, especially if you were to do the proper thing and have them pass certifications.
