Review: buy this one to fly its worth it - let bad first the throttle has a little play between the 2 halves left to right ,,,, the rest so far is amazing took a little to get used to the position of the throttle 2 spin knobs top and bottom i use for vert thrust and horz thrust because the x52 has one on its side and that made it make more sense beyond that this is making my gaming so much better I have almost all elite daNGEROUS controls mapped and im only on M1 mode i still have M2 and S1 i could use,, would be extra nice if the throttle stiffness had a little more range between is easy movement and hard it starts at about medium stiff but i have read that will get easier over time so not really a complaint I have rather large hands and it feels nice fit not reaching for anything tiny hands may have a small reach issue but should be manageable ,, each half have 4 corner holes so you can mount it to a dest directly or buy a mount system starting at 59 bucks so not bad at all i used 3.5in wood screws attaches it to 7x9 in x1/2 in wood plates and then attached ttaht to the edge of my desk feels nice and can be moves other controlers have overly complex whole patterns so this is by far easier to mount I opted to follow another review and download g drivers system so i have the option to pre program all my buttons to keybinds this way they would be universal across any game i play but thus far i just mapped them within the game im playing as i learn what feels natural to me PLUG directly into the pc do not use a hub unless its a powered hub and high powered one at that if you cant avoid using a low powered hub go into the g software and make the RGB black or super dark so it draws less power and this will help avoid ghost inputs this is an ISSUE with MANY MANYY rgb devices so I do not fault this one easy plug n play usb and great great value Review: Previous Issues Gone - While this HOTAS has a troubled past I can attest to what I received as being awesome. While I have used a x52 pro in the past and its issues are well documented, I was nicely surprised by its updated system. I was a bit scared when reading some of the other reviews of this HOTAS here. But the X56 has more than enough buttons on the stick and throttle and two very needed joystick type sticks that really set this thing apart. Yes it is of plastic construction, and I could see someone with small hands having issues with accessing all the hat switches, dials and buttons. I have large hands so that doesnt apply to me. Its a Logitech product now and it seems all the issues from its predecessor Saitek are gone. While first plugging it in I did have an issue with one of the C sticks (joystick type, mouse emulation) drifting just like the X52 pro I have. I was like oh no, its happening again. However i took the grip off the base and reapplied it and screwed it very carefully. Thankfully that fixed the issue. On the positive side this thing has a ton of button and switches. I can see if you are looking for replicas of a certain aircraft (like the a10) then this is not in that vein of aesthetics. I played around for almost and hour within the software (which you will have to download) and found it complex, but anyone with experience with the programming software of the x52 pretty easy to get the hang of. Also on a positive note the stick itself comes with 3 other springs for those like me that like some resistance and it does not flop around like my x52 does. So precise moment is easy to obtain. The RGB lighting can be bright or subtle thanks to the software, so you can do really bright or turn it off completely. The stick itself is very subdued and I like the back lighting on the buttons. I been eyeing other higher price joystick as an upgrade to my 5 year old x52 and I must say, I like this X56 system. I dare say that for the price this thing compete with higher end HOTAS systems. I have had it for a day now and have put in nearly 12 hours in DCS. Also I suspect that the stick needs a good amount of power so I would highly recommend pluging the system directly into the back of your computer and not a hub. Things I do not like: 1. no 2 stage trigger. I was used to using the first stage for comms, but I was able to adjust to the side button for teamspeak and SRS. 2. the mode switch is really stiff, I dont know if its because it is new but it takes some effort. 3. The pinky two way switch on the throttle is uncomfortable. The button has a sharp ridge to the plastic and makes it a bit uncomfortable. If it had been rotated 90 degrees your pinky would fit nicely in the groove. Things I love: the inclusion of 2 joystick type switches. This makes slewing target sensors a snap and it has a push down button adding even more true hands on. They where a bit scary when i first plugged it in do the noticeable drift. This was fixed though by unplugging the stick, unscrewing the stick handle, carefully screwing it back into the base. MORE than enough hats, buttons and switched for advanced sims like the A10c and Hornet. ## Features - Military-grade Space and Flight Sim Precision.

Very little time on my X56 (the "upgraded" gray model) and the twist/yaw on the stick has went out as well as the LED's. Less than 6 months of use out of it and very little use during that time even. Either spend more on a VKB or VirPil or spend less on a T16000m and have to likely replace it every so often. But I'd not pay this much to have to replace these on a regular basis. **Q: Ive heard that the early models were prone to the throttle wires breaking. Has this been rectified?** A: I bought this in January of 2019. It is currently the beginning of May 2021 and I have not had any sort of wiring problems with this hotas. The only problem I had was trying to use them with a USB 2.0 unpowered hub, which is actually specifically outlined in the manual that you should use a powered hub. Something along the lines of your motherboard trying to save power or it isn't able to supply enough power to both through an unpowered hub which results in the hotas gives you ghost inputs. I just plugged them straight into my motherboard after that and have not had a problem with it since. **Q: Had the g x56 for 5 months, now experiencing ghosting input in the throttle quadrant. any fixes for this. i have heard a powered usb hub fixes it?** A: I would advise getting an EXTERNAL powered USB 3.0 Hub. If you're already having power issues onboard, then adding a hub to the motherboard isn't going to help much. **Q: Why are you asking 400.00 when msrp is 249.00** A: Its another casualty and lingering effect of the pandemic. Everyone went indoors, MS flight sim comes out, and the government hands out free money. This put huge strains on supply for a lof stuff, including HOTAS controls. That said, if youre spending $400 american dollars, you might as well spend 400 euros for the Virpil MongooseCM3 throttle. I did, and while I am staunch advocate for Logitech (their products rarely fail me and when they do, their customer service has been amazing) this is of those specialty items better sourced from a company thay only builds gear for simulators, like Virpil or alternatively VKB. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ buy this one to fly its worth it *by A***N on April 11, 2026* let bad first the throttle has a little play between the 2 halves left to right ,,,, the rest so far is amazing took a little to get used to the position of the throttle 2 spin knobs top and bottom i use for vert thrust and horz thrust because the x52 has one on its side and that made it make more sense beyond that this is making my gaming so much better I have almost all elite daNGEROUS controls mapped and im only on M1 mode i still have M2 and S1 i could use,, would be extra nice if the throttle stiffness had a little more range between is easy movement and hard it starts at about medium stiff but i have read that will get easier over time so not really a complaint I have rather large hands and it feels nice fit not reaching for anything tiny hands may have a small reach issue but should be manageable ,, each half have 4 corner holes so you can mount it to a dest directly or buy a mount system starting at 59 bucks so not bad at all i used 3.5in wood screws attaches it to 7x9 in x1/2 in wood plates and then attached ttaht to the edge of my desk feels nice and can be moves other controlers have overly complex whole patterns so this is by far easier to mount I opted to follow another review and download g drivers system so i have the option to pre program all my buttons to keybinds this way they would be universal across any game i play but thus far i just mapped them within the game im playing as i learn what feels natural to me PLUG directly into the pc do not use a hub unless its a powered hub and high powered one at that if you cant avoid using a low powered hub go into the g software and make the RGB black or super dark so it draws less power and this will help avoid ghost inputs this is an ISSUE with MANY MANYY rgb devices so I do not fault this one easy plug n play usb and great great value ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Previous Issues Gone *by C***R on September 1, 2018* While this HOTAS has a troubled past I can attest to what I received as being awesome.

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Logitech G X56 H.O.T.A.S Throttle and Joystick Flight Simulator Game Controller, 4 Spring Options, +189 Programmable Controls, RGB Lighting, 2x USB, PC - Black - Logitech G Pro Flight Rudder Pedals - Hikig 2 Set The Desk Mount for The Flight Sim Game Joystick, Throttle and Hotas Systems Compatible with Logitech X56, X52, X52 Pro, Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas,Thrustmaster T.16000M, Thrustmaster TCA --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/76080792-logitech-g-x56-h-o-t-a-s-throttle-joystick](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/76080792-logitech-g-x56-h-o-t-a-s-throttle-joystick) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-08-29*
