It’s cheap because it’s mass produced. If you asked for one you’d be charged for all the engineering, r&d and manufacturing for a one off. It would be a suitably expensive controller, but probably no higher quality.
The cheap controller angle is noise in my opinion.
- MagicMoonlight 3y agoIt’s cheap because if it breaks you just get a new one. A part for a vehicle needs more reliability than that so it costs more.
- PUSH_AX 3y agoI’m not sure how an items cost can be determined by the action you might take after it breaks.. It costs what it costs because that’s how much it costs to make it and have a mark up on it. These factors are not a commentary on its durability, robustness or quality. Try as you might to find a correlation.
- johnwalkr 3y agoThere's a lot of room between one-off and a logitech controller from wal-mart. You can buy a COTS industrial or marine joystick which is tested and has a documented direct interface.
- dharmab 3y agoThe Microsoft controller is significantly better, with millions of dollars of R&D behind it, and I bought mine for $35 a few years ago.
