Yes, some submarines, like the U.S. Navy's Virginia-class submarines, use Xbox controllers to operate their periscopes. Easier and cheaper than custom controls!

It's true! The Navy found that Xbox controllers are more intuitive for younger sailors and much less expensive than traditional periscope controls.
