🚀 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 quality and satisfying
Pattern Name: Flight Controller
Review Image by Amazon Customer Amazon Customer
The media could not be loaded. 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. ... show more

    • Long time X series owner. I've had all of them over the decades back to the X36.
Pattern Name: Flight Controller
I DO RECOMMEND this one but will mainly touch on the issues. Still 100% worth the price as the next step up is a big one with other sticks price wise. The RMA game is still a thing with these but I've been lucky on that front. My X52 pro died after 12 years so I bought this. Nice materials. Still has the same slop before the spring coupler moves but I use the lightest spring so it's hard to notice. Tons of buttons but dials but the pots still stutter. Not has bad as the other sticks but come on guys. This issue has been around since 2005. Ergonomics suffer from one stick made for many hands. Rudder is a bit harder to use. I used to point a finger out against the guard to turn right and that worked well. Can't do that here. Hats on the stick are a bit close but I got used to that quick. Zero issue with the stick. The throttle has ergonomic issues. Too many hats and sticks in the same area and switches can be blocked depending on throttle position. I printed up some hats that fixed the 3 thumb sticks being too close on the throttle. The thumb slider is kind of useless. It's a slide switch now. Not suited for zoom view the way I used it on my X52. Top rotor moves well but has a slight stutter randomly. The bottom rotor works well going forward but not so well going back and has more stutter. Both wobble visually but have ZERO impact on use so I have no issues there. Top two switches on the right can be hard to use without hitting the 3 sticks. I plan to un-stagger them so Tog 2-3-4 will be in a line to the right. Issue fixed. Switch K1 is a bit hard to pull up and buttons H and I need to move right a bit . Again. Made for many hands. SW 1-6 guards are useless. Too short and pretty much just for looks and since they are shorter than the switches you can't call them guards. Still have not found a use for the dial on the left throttle. I think a dual button would have been a better choice. The software. Well. It's less intuitive these days but is what it is. I've noticed most games see the X56 as two devices which means you have to pick the right device when assigning buttons. Tiny nit pick there. I've noticed some ghosting depending on which USB port they are plugged into. USB 2, 3, hub powered 2, 3. Seems to be random. So that's a lot of negatives but these are still my favorite line of flight sticks and are EXTREMELY easy to mod on your own or use advice from others of which there are no shortages of ideas and guides online and to be honest I love modding my flight sticks and now that I have a few 3D printers I have really been able to make this stick a potential favorite platform to mod. I do plan on going up town with my next stick price wise unless whichever X successor they come up with listens to the community and fixes everything. There is still a ton of Saitek\Mad Catz DNA in the X56. I hope Logitech moves away from that with the next stick but I still 100% recommend the X56 for DCS and other sim lovers. ... show more
