There's nothing wrong with that at all.

The US military literally uses Xbox controllers for a lot of their drones and tech.

It's kind of a rare move by the Pentagon of actually spend smartly.

Why spend millions on R&D to develop something that already exists and has been iterated based on massive operator feedback a dozen times over decades? It's literally a platform that has been designed and honed to operate vehicles of every shape and size.
