It might be cheap but it’s also very reliable, intuitive, familiar and all that in even weird conditions… which millions of controllers prove in any gamers household every day. In addition it’s used by military forces all around the world - including bomb squads because it works (mostly its the xbox 360 as far ad know)

the problem is elsewhere - i’m almost certain of it.

Yeah, wired Xbox controllers, not wireless Logitech crap. You willing to entrust your life to a working Bluetooth connection?

Certainly no need to reinvent the wheel. But maybe use something stronger than dental floss to secure it to the axle.

They had a backup system, so I think this is fine. Not like you'll have a lot of interference under the ocean...
