It would be. If that were the case. But it's not.

There were several back up controllers and a hardmounted touchscreen interface too.

All I'm saying is that a $49 controller really isn't any better than a multimillion dollar one. The US Navy realized this about a decade ago, which is why their periscopes are now controled by Xbox controllers.
