U.S.-listed shares of Logitech International SA, a Swiss maker of computer peripherals and software, fell about 3.6% on Wednesday, amid reports that one of the company\u2019s gamepads was being used to steer the submersible\u00a0that went missing while taking\u00a0five people\u00a0down to the wreck of the Titanic. <\/p>\n

Logitech\u2019s $30 F710 gamepad was the controller of the OceanGate submarine vessel that is the subject of a massive sea-and-air search, according to a segment on the \u201cCBS News Sunday Morning Show\u201d by reporter David Pogue that aired last November.<\/p>\n

\n

In the segment, OceanGate Chief Executive Stockton Rush, one of the five people currently onboard the submersible, showed Pogue the game controller that he said \u201cruns the whole thing,\u201d causing the reporter to burst out laughing.<\/p>\n

Pogue later describes the \u201cMacGyver jerry-riggedness\u201d of the whole thing, which included off-the-shelf components such as lights from Camper World and construction pipes as ballast. Rush explained that other parts of the vessel were made in cooperation with Boeing, NASA and the University of Washington.<\/p>\n

As The Verge pointed out, game controllers are used in other instances to control submarine periscopes, including by the U.S. Navy and Elon Musk\u2019s The Boring Company. <\/p>\n

On Monday, Pogue tweeted that during his report which was filmed last summer, the submersible got lost for a period \u2014 while he was on the surface. <\/p>\n

In that instance, the vessel still had contact with the surface. This time, there are no communications, although a Canadian military surveillance aircraft detected underwater noises early Wednesday, as the Associated Press reported.<\/p>\n

A statement from the U.S. Coast Guard did not elaborate on what rescuers believed the noises could be, though it offered a glimmer of hope for those lost aboard the Titan. Estimates suggested as little as a day\u2019s worth of oxygen could be left if the vessel is still functioning. <\/p>\n

Also on the vessel with Rush are a British adventurer, two members of a Pakistani business family and a Titanic expert. <\/p>\n

Authorities\u00a0reported the carbon-fiber vessel overdue Sunday night, setting off the search in waters about 435 miles (700 kilometers) off the coast of of St. John\u2019s.<\/p>\n

The submersible\u00a0had a four-day oxygen supply when it was put to sea around 6 a.m. Sunday, according to David Concannon, an adviser to OceanGate Expeditions, which oversaw the mission.<\/p>\n

Questions remain about how teams could reach the lost submersible, which could be as deep as about 12,500 feet (3,800 meters) below the surface near the watery tomb of the historic ocean liner. Newly uncovered allegations also suggested there had been\u00a0significant warnings made about the vessel\u2019s safety prior to its disappearance.<\/p>\n
