🚀 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

  • 🎮 Great multifunctionality and abundance of buttons
  • 💰 Good value for money
  • 👍 Ideal for use with major sims and VR
  • 📐 Adjustable throttle and stick tension
  • 💪 Strong and durable with long-term usage

Cons

  • 🖐 Ergonomically uncomfortable design
  • 🔌 High power requirements and requires a high-output USB hub
  • ⚙ Inconsistent button labeling across different games
  • 👋 Requires frequent adjustment of hand placement
  • 💠 Material used is a less durable plastic

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

    • Good for the price
Pattern Name: Flight Controller
Overall, its good for the price when comparing to the more real like setups out there. The throttle will need to be plugged into a very powerful hub or on a hub by its self. I have a 10 port HUB that I had the throttle, stick, mouse and keyboard plugged into and the throttle would get horrible ghost inputs. Plugged into the computer directly solved those problems. Stick is nice and moved smoothly. Over all 4 stars. I am using the spring that came on it for now but I like it. There are complaints about trying to use the stick to make small inputs but I really don't see an issue. All the buttons work great. The entire thing does feel cheap but some how hasn't broken yet. Only downside of the stick is that its huge. I have pretty large hands and still have to move my hand around the stick to be able to hit all the buttons. I worked fighter aircraft in the military and those sticks you could hit every button or switch without moving your hand or reaching for the button. The X56, if I want to use the pinky switch, I have to slide my hand down the stick, once done I have to slide back up to use those switches on top. The throttle is over all 3 stars. Its nice to have the dual throttle and all the buttons. My concerns are that the friction on the throttle is janky. Out of the box, the right throttle could click as you moved it forward and back. I had to loosen the friction all the way to make the clicking go away. With the friction knob all the way loose, the left throttle is still hard to move and the right throttle will move on its own. The slide switch is sticky. When I had the X45, I would use that switch for speed brakes but with how sticky this one is, I had to use another one. I did have the slide as ejection but with ghost inputs, I would randomly eject and that was not going to work. Now the switch doesn't do anything. I got this stick because I needed one with Yaw axis since I don't use rudder pedals right now due to room restrictions. One thing I wish this did have was a pressure sensitive button for brakes. Right now when I apply brakes using pinky switch, its just full brakes being applied and not gradual braking. Again, its good for the price if wanting something cheap to fool around with. If you're serious about flight sims, this might not be the one for you. ... show more
