Review: Seems like the best value at this price point - In a nutshell I think this is probably the best throttle and stick at this price point. In fact it's a really good price for what you get. I'm very happy with this buy. The only negative thing I can say about the throttle is that it lacks 0%, 50% and 100% detents (e.g. for afterburner). Otherwise, tons of switches, ability to split the throttles, multiple modes.. all you need. The stick's great. Again plenty of buttons which feel really satisfying to use, the spring in the can be adjusted if you want an easier time moving the stick, or if you want to make it more difficult. In terms of feel it's good, but not incredible - going higher end would get you that, but we're in the mid-range. I am totally satisfied with the quality here. The software's garbage. You'll probably find yourself having to clear profiles every time you boot your PC, since you'll be using the ones in the game. Don't discount the X56 just because of the two clicks it takes to do that.
Review: Logitech HOTAS X56 - PROS • Ergonomic feel • Many customisations, hundreds of programmable controls • Easy plug and play, might need to tweak keybinds/settings • 30 buttons, some with multiple functions including: two way switches, knobs, triggers, hats, joysticks and sliders. • Compatible with many games including MSFS, DCS, Star Citizen, War Thunder, etc. • Split throttle, allowing for intense combat mechanics. CONS • A bit expensive for budgets, but I recommend as it is worth it. • Throttle is a bit stiff, even at the weakest setting, sometimes it moves across my desk. • Supposed reports of ‘ghost inputs’, I haven’t had a problem with these yet, pretty decent otherwise. OVERALL REVIEW The Logitech HOTAS X56 is a great hands-on piece of flight simulator hardware, with an excellent design and features for customisation. It has customisable RGB and is a great medium budget option for sim users. RATING - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ EDIT (1 year later) - The stick and throttle are still working perfectly fine, definitely no ghost inputs, still a 5 star worthy product, 100% worth the money.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it need a stand to hold it?**
A: It depends, I used to use mine on desktop with no issues with it moving about in DCS world MSFS2020 or star citizen. Since moving to a Sim rig (I race too) I had to make mounts for it. But if you're just on a desk then you'll be fine.

**Q: Hi, will this work with a Mac please?**
A: Yes it will. I use it on my Mac flying X-Plane.

**Q: how long is the warranty in uk**
A: normally 1yr But depending on where you buy it sometimes come with a 2yr warranty. I have had my HOTAS for 5 yrs now & still going strong all buttons work, all switches work, RGB works. I play Microsoft flight sim, Arma, Helicopter sim, Elite Dangerous. so if you look after you gear it will work for yrs. Logitech stuff i had before like the G27 steering wheel & pedal lasted me yrs has well & that driving sims for over 10yrs.

**Q: Can each throttle lever be configured to control multiple engines?**
A: yes

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best HOTAS in its price range
*by S***E on 27 July 2021*

After a year with the X56, I'm really happy with my purchase. I use this for DCS in VR and it works really well. The joystick is too big for my hands and I had to artificially raise the palm rest at the base (using layered cardboard) by about 1 cm so that I could rest my palm and still reach all the buttons but you have to be careful not to raise it too high as you can cover up the button at the very bottom of the actual stick. Once I found the right level to raise the palm rest then it was comfortable but be careful with this if you have small hands. The throttle is built really well and is comfortable. It also has heaps of buttons and switches which is excellent! It does have 3 things that you need to consider - The throttle movement is a little on the heavy side and doesn't slide easily. I would have liked it if it was a little easier but that's a preference thing and you get use to it. - The throttle doesn't have an afterburner indent. For those flying fighter jets, that means you won't get the physical nudge on the throttle once you've hit afterburners so might not realise they're on. Not the end of the world but something to think about. - The throttle takes lots of power and people have had issues with buttons being triggered randomly due to using a non-powered USB hub. Make sure you have a reliable direct USB connection to your PC or a powered hub to plug it in to. Overall, the HOTAS is the best in its class and to get anything better you would need to pay ~2-3 x more for a professional Warthog, WinWing or Vipril Hotas so although not perfect, it does represent good value for money.
