High end HOTAS
I was a little hesitant after the documented issues with X52 and reviews of the X56, but decided to go for it instead of spending the multiple hundreds into thousands that is the next step up from here. Wow! I have used it for Elite Dangerous, Star Citizen, and MSFS, and am impressed! Have also used it to replace dual joysticks for logging in farm Sim, but it really shines in the games with lots of controls to bind.Despite being primarily plastic, the controls feel premium and construction feels solid. The movement of the main joystick is fluid and smooth, and there are more buttons and hat switches than I could possibly need! The single complaint is with the split throttle needing to be very stiff in order to maintain position, or it will lower itself and easily moves if bumped – and that part never got better over time. I use clamp on brackets, so I can deal with a very tight throttle, but it does get irritating at times, to be honest.Warning #1, check the dimensions, these things are huge compared to some other HOTAS options! Warning #2, despite that size, they are not too heavy, so some kind of mounting is necessary if you “play with passion.” lolHave over a couple hundred hours use and no problems except the throttle not holding position unless super tight. Easily recommend unless a person can afford the big jump in cost to go the next step up.

High quality and satisfying
This is a great product. I was a little worried when I read some other reviews but that must have been a user error. I have been using them for star citizen and Microsoft Flight Sim. The throttle is really high quality and all the buttons are really satisfying, and the RGB is really nice and useful. The joystick or yolk or whatever it is, is really nice as well, they both have a nice mat finish. The stick can actually unscrew from the base. The buttons on the top feel really good and the whole thing is really ergonomic. The buttons on top also have back lighting RGB.The whole kit is really heavy and does well in MSFS. I am 11 and bought these with the 300$ I saved up for them, and it was worth it.

Quality H.O.T.A.S Throttle and Stick
I bought the Logitech G X56 H.O.T.A.S for the intention of playing Microsoft Flight Simulator with the intention of eventually upgrading and buying and fully Honeycomb Aeronautical setup with a more advanced Yoke and Throttle Quadrant more suited for airliners.The X56 is pretty good for a flight simulator setup, before I bought it ai had only had minimal experience with the X52 by Logitech G. My first annoyance after plugging them into my PC is that they do not connect to the Logitech G Hub, which was partially why I bought them over Thrustmaster. Other than that, the stick is good, it is a bit of a pain to set up all of the buttons and add deadzones to ensure there is no stick drift which was a problem I had with the little joystick where your thumb likes to go and mess with your camera. Which brings me to my next thing which was that it’s not super comfortable to hold. Your thumb either has to be below the joystick or up near the silver and black camera look functions, which is not very convenient or comfortable. Overall okay but by no means amazing.The throttle is okay, it is definitely one that you want to get a mount for or drill it into your desk somewhere with some screws. I have not done anything yet, because I haven’t figured out exactly where I want them, but it is annoying to throttle up and the throttle is so stiff that the base likes to push up with the throttle, which is annoying with takeoffs but is fixable with a mount. The switches are good quality. It has a mode selector in the bottom left, but I haven’t been able to figure out how to use it. The nice thing about the throttle is that there is a nice spot next to the top and bottom silver knobs to put your thumb where is won’t adjust any cameras you don’t want to.One thing I would for sure do is get a label maker and label all of your switches so you don’t accidentally turn your engine off midair or turning on your parking brake instead of lowering your flaps.Overall pretty good as an entry level setup, but I will likely sell them later once I upgrade.

Ürünün malzeme kalitesi inanılmaz ucuz hissettiriyor. Çok çok basit bir plastik. Bundan kaynaklı ürünün ağırlığı da çok hafif. Kesinlikle ben buna mı para verdim dedirten bi yapıya sahip.Fonksiyonel olarak işini yerine getiriyor o konuda fazlasıyla iyi. Fakat joystick üzerinde çok küçük de olsa bir deadzone mevcut. Bu fiyatta bir ürün için olmaması gerekirdi.Bütçenizi biraz daha yukarı çekip rakip ürünlerini değerlendirmenizi öneririm.

The H.O.T.A.S. RGB Throttle and Stick Controller X56 is a game-changer for flight simulation. The build quality is top-notch, and the controls feel incredibly responsive. The RGB lighting adds a cool touch, but it’s the customizable buttons and precise throttle control that really stand out. It’s perfect for serious simmers who want realistic, immersive controls. Setup was easy, and it works flawlessly with most flight sims. Definitely worth the investment for anyone serious about their flying experience!

This stick and throttle combo is perfect for the MSFS 2020… Lots of programmable buttons and mini-joysticks. The X56 itself is recognized by MSFS 2020 and both joystick and throttle along with many of the buttons and one mini-joystick are already pre-mapped automatically.It comes with two spare tension springs which you can use to replace the default one on the joystick. I decided to replace the default with the shorter spring so there is less tension needed to move the stick around. You can search youtube to get a better idea how to do this as it is not really clear on the supplied manual.In addition to the FOV button, the thumb mini-joystick on the joystick are already pre-programmed to allow you to smoothly scroll your view 360 degrees around the cockpit and windows. I also mapped other functions to the available buttons, such as one button on the throttle to act as the thrust reverse toggle so I can use the throttle as a thrust reverser during landing when togged to this mode. I also remapped some of the keys and this is easily done inside MSFS 2020 itself.The software it comes with is also very useful. For example, I used it to adjust the curves to make the rudder more responsive when I twist it since I find it slightly hard to twist. Now I need to twist it less to get better response.I have had no issues such as ghost button presses, etc., that I have read people complaining online about. I have the throttle plugged directly to a USB 3.0 port on the back of my PC and the stick plugged to the powered USB 3.0 hub on my main monitor.Overall, this is a great complement to MSFS 2020.
