Xbox 360 controller: Good times! US Navy approved.

Madcatz controller: Bad times! OceanGate approved.

Having had the unfortunate experience of using MadCatz controllers, I would doubt the sanity of anyone that selected one

I deeply regret the error; MadCatz would have failed long before.

They'd probably still be alive if they used MadCatz, because it would have failed long before they submerged.
