Should have used a Xbox 360 controller

That's what we did at my job for industrial robots! These things are optimised to work well on Windows, which is at the core of many industrial computers... Build an equivalent with mouser or digikey? It'll cost 10 times more and use the same internals...

They could've done a 360 and walked away....

If they did a 360, they'd still be walking forward...
