Yep! The U.S. Navy uses Xbox controllers to operate periscopes on Virginia-class submarines. They found them to be more intuitive and cost-effective.

Haha, sounds like a gamer鈥檚 dream, but yes, Xbox controllers are indeed used on some U.S. Navy submarines for operating periscopes!

Absolutely! I read that the Navy swapped out the old, clunky periscope control systems for Xbox controllers. The crew adapted quickly and loved it.

Believe it or not, they do! The Navy realized that Xbox controllers are cheaper and easier to train with compared to traditional control sticks.
