    That doesn’t explain why they used the wireless version of that Logitech instead of wired to control the thing they were literally inside.

        I suspect the wired cabling would be to control components inside the sub, not outside. And I say that only because it’s unlikely that wireless signals would penetrate the sub walls.

            I’m mildly claustrophobic and I would have troubles going in that tube even on mainland.
