The controller itself is probably reliable enough, like any cheap keyboard on amazon. I wouldn't want my life to rely on bluetooth though.

I don't even want my music listening to depend on bluetooth.
If there’s one place I’d bet my life on Bluetooth it’s at the bottom of the ocean with absolutely no other signals of any kind
Except the smartphones everyone brought along.
I wonder what ads are displayed 3000m under the sea surface?
Absolutely. The fella in the article is going wired though by the look of it.
They have a couple of pretty good shots of the controller, and I don't see a wire. Also, the marketing image they include for the controller is clearly labeled as wireless.
I think by "the article" they mean the one linked at the top of this subthread, which is about the Navy and shows a sailor using a wired Xbox 360 controller.
The one used on the missing submersible does use Bluetooth.
I have the controller itself and as far as I know there's no way to use it wired. It doesn't even have a port, batteries are replaceable double As.
The moment the crew enters onboard and their mobiles have bluetooth enabled, a race of pairing sounds ensues.
