🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.

The Logitech Saitek X56 HOTAS is a high-quality peripheral that provides a lot of value for the price point, according to most reviewers. Many users praised its controls, versatility, and the abundance of buttons that make the joystick an ideal option for flight simulations. However, some have noted that the plastic mechanism and uncomfortable ergonomic design can cause discomfort over time. The stick is ideally suited for VR and games like DCS and Elite Dangerous, but it might be overkill for less advanced flight sims.

Pros

Should I Buy It?

If you're a flight sim enthusiast looking for a joystick with multiple functionalities and you don't mind the ergonomic design issues, the Logitech Saitek X56 HOTAS is a great option. The price is also reasonable given the features it offers. However, if you prioritize long-term comfort and a more intuitive button layout, you might want to consider other options in the market.

    • Great HOTAS for Flight Sims
Pattern Name: Flight Controller
Bought to replace an X52 after frustrations with that throttle. Both of these controls have some quirks, but overall I love them. The stick is surprisingly sensitive. I fly IL2 and do a good bit of formation work, and the stick is sufficiently sensitive to work this with no deadzones. I put in the second to lightest included spring after the standard on lightest both weren't quite right for me. The buttons are solid adn the hats are great. A few other pros/cons: Pros: - Literally more hats than I can use. I have one on the stick and one on the throttle that are essentially unused in IL2. - Overall build quality and precision is very good on the stick and superb on the throttle. - Love the split option on the throttle for multi-engine. - Bought rudder pedals when I got this, but actually prefer the twist-stick for rudder. Works great (wish I could adjust the tension, but can't have everything). - Throttle rotary controls both incorporate a button push and a center of rotation detent. Great control which I use for mixture/prop, boost/airbrakes. - Overall quality is less than Warthog or high-end EU stuff, but falls in 'just right' category for me. Plugnplay w/ Win10 and key mapping is seamless within the game. Cons: - Lacks the two stage trigger from my old X52 - why??? That was a great feature! - Throttle is naturally VERY high friction. Literally impossible to rapidly slam it to the stops. I imagine this will make it last longer, but be ready to adapt your control style. I cannot imagine many people using ANY of the included friction lock until they've had it a LONG time. - I love the toggle switches on the throttle, rather than on base of the stick like on the X52. However, despite the sidebars, switches 1-6 sit directly under your wrist as it rests on the throttle. This has led to a few inadvertent activations of these switches in-sim while flying. Needless to say, I remapped Ctrl-E to a different toggle! Its uncomfortable too. Relocating and incorporating a smooth wrist rest would be better. - The two way pinkie slide on the front of the throttle has some issues and no longer returns to center after just a few months. I use this for flaps so makes me check the control position any time I deploy them. - Both the stick and throttle incorporate a mouse-stick type control that I cannot utilize effectively. No real need in my current games, and sensitivity would need a lot of tweaking. I would really have preferred a thumb button where the mouse-stick is on the stick. Bottom Line: If it breaks, I'll get it fixed and keep using it, not replace with Warthog or other. Sufficient for my use in IL2 and likely DCS and other sims as well. I don't do Elite or space sims, but I imagine that it would be great there too. ... show more

    • High end HOTAS
Pattern Name: Flight Controller
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 even bumped - and that part never got better over time. 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." lol Have easily a couple hundred hours use and no problems or major complaints except the throttle stickiness. Easily recommend unless a person can make the jump to more than twice the cost of the X56 to go to the next step up joytsick and throttles. ... show more

    • Great flight HOTAS for multi-purpose involved sims
Pattern Name: Flight Controller
Summary: The controls and capability of this unit is unbelievable for the price. It's a great alternative to the higher tier ones out there at a cost of plastic (this unit) vs metal. History: Coming from X52 (which I ordered in 2013 or something long time ago), X45 (even older) and much older Saitek models (mostly as gaming ports changed along with new features, none have died on me which speaks to some level of historical quality). Usage: DCS, Elite Dangerous, FSX and similar *First impression*: Extremely scared that I would have had to return item after 10 minutes. The throttle was not calibrated where mid-throttle was registering as 0% and there was no way to calibrate within windows. Turned out that there is internal calibrations. See bottom of review for the BKM on fixing this which can also be found on forums for the older version of the x56 (x55) Other than the calibrations, the unit feels solid and controls are plentiful. This is the Logitech version of the failed Saitek model which is plagued with problems according to most reviews. All buttons/actions responded as expected and fit is good. The right hand position is a bit lower than desired and not terribly adjustable like the X52. Small hands be warned! VR (since it's a market target and selling point): Using this in VR works well *once* you can get trained where switches are. There's so many options/spots that sometimes you can get lost on the platform switches on the throttle. Hunting around to orient was common early on but eventually figured out a pattern to find the switches quicker. I still get the knobs mixed up every now and then since they are close together. The buttons/etc on the throttle/stick are easy enough to find in VR since they are always in hand. The VR selling point likely is that there are so many options that you don't need the keyboard for many common things anymore. A debatable selling point depending on the simulation being used. *Ergonomics*: some of the buttons are not placed well for long term usage. It's ok if you just need to hit every minute or so, but not as a 2 minute+ toggling spree. The hat controls on both controls are placed slightly out of alignment with my hands so that constant usage starts to hurt the thumb for both hands. The throttle is a bit better placed but sometimes difficult to move the 2 smaller hats due to tight spaces. The X52 feels much more "natural". This is my -1 reason for not being 5-stars Throttle/tension: From my non-scientific observation this uses some type of goo to dampen the slide action. This goo loosens up rapidly when warmed so that the throttle starts to slide quite easily. There is a tension knob but it's difficult to tune correctly due to this dynamics. It does *not* have any detentes/positions to lock into so I commonly find that resting my hand slowly decreases the throttle. There are 3d-print options to fix this, but without the modification you can't leave hand resting on throttle. In DCS I commonly found I was pulling back and loosing speed so I started to need to do hands-off throttle which contradicts the HOTAS benefit. Stick tension: The multiple springs should work with many people. There is a little play in the center but nothing that concerned me. The pivot is made of plastic which is concerning over the x52 which is part metal. Concerns about this breaking is high. Stick future: It was very curious to see the grip disconnects much like the higher cost options. May suggest that new grips can either be made or will be made for different plane likeness. Desk requirement: The bases are much larger than prior generations, likely to just provide stability/support but is hollow for the most part. People complain a lot about this online about "wasted space" but in reality it's providing torque resistance when on a desk from the push/pull. When on a mount, yes it likely is problematic and overkill. Mounting: There are holes in the corners of each unit which can be used for mounting screws. It's not an under-base connectivity but it's something that I'll be using in the near future. It's also seemingly non-standard measurements DCS: Perfect! assignments,likeness, and HOTAS usage works great with this sim. Overkill for buttons for P51 but excellent for A10. This mimics the warthog from thrustmaster in capability and general layout but the warthog is very specifically tuned to the A10. The two extra adjustment knobs on the throttle is very nice for P51 for trimming which does not exist for the x52. DCS was the primary reason for purchase so very happy with decision as it meet my expectations. Combine with foot rudders, I don't really use the twist anymore but it does feel solid and did work well before foot rudders. Elite Dangerous: Works well with one exception -- controlling the system bars gets very difficult due to ergo problems. The hats on the stick are placed just wrong enough that you can't adjust quickly unlike the X52. Throttle mini hats are not much better as some directions are difficult to use to or collide with other buttons. The 2 mini analog sticks are great though for thrust control! I use the one on throttle, tried the stick but kept hitting that as it's placement isn't the best for where the thumb naturally rests. There's enough button/switch control left-overs to make advanced rapid adjustments to "pre-programmed" models of sys/eng/wep balances. FSX or other sims: Likely to be overkill for most people. Recommended? Yes if budget is tight. Are there better things out there? Yes, but at min 2x price. That price bump gets mechanics that will survive the thrash of a little child, x56 will likely break under same conditions. Calibration: Clear axis calibration process for Throttle: 1.Meanwhile make TGL3 down,TGL2 up(show buttons 14,17) before device power on. 2.Meanwhile make TGL4 down,TGL3 up(show buttons 16,19). 3.Clear calibration is completed when all lights go out.
