The US Navy is replacing $38,000 hand grip system to control periscope with $20 Xbox controllers. Previously it would take hours to learn to use the system but with an Xbox controller, it is down to minutes.
I can go to any video game store and procure an Xbox controller anywhere in the world, so it makes a very easy replacement - Senior Chief Mark Eichenlaub
The new controller was first added to the USS Colorado which began it's duty last November. The USS Colorado is a more modern version of the Seawolf-class submarine from the 1990's.
