Product Information

Programmable Buttons?: Tailor your own profiles to enhance most Thrustmaster flight controllers with Thrustmaster advanced programming graphical editor software. None of that takes away from the professional, satisfying feel of the whole setup. Sure, there are some oddities with the reverse thrust levers being not the most intuitive, but otherwise, there's hardly a thing about this yoke that feels out of place. Most actual pilots I've spotted reviewing this yoke are really impressed with how accurate the design is compared to the real deal. Logitech X56 looked and felt solid out of the box, and throughout our 400-plus hours of testing, it remained fully functional with no problems in terms of its build quality. If you want it to be a more fixed and permanent part of your setup, the X56 has holes present in bases to affix it to nearly any surface. I bought Thrustmaster T.16000M FCS HOTAS right after it became available and I can only say I've been very happy with the product. Granted it's not as hefty as the x52 pro, but after the initial "getting used to it" stage I have nothing to complain about. I got really excited that trying to the 'no LED color' idea suggested above was going to work.....sadly can confirm, same results. And honestly, I've had this thing set up and running fine for literally an entire year before these issues happened, so I'm doubting a powered hub would solve them.

I own a X56 (and the X52, and X45 before it). The X56 is a good "mid-range" HOTAS in the sense that it offers a really solid control layout and can be quite versatile. That being said, where it is strong in versatility, it is weak in overall quality. Upgrade the VR gaming experience with the re-emerging space simulation genre and the advanced X56 HOTAS. After testing, using, and reviewing, (ok, weeks of fun gaming!) taking into consideration the most important features, we’ll make our final verdict. Who’s It For? Moving on to the Logitech X56 H.O.T.A.S.: it was loved by Windows Central and PC Gamer - two reliable sources that conduct their own in-depth testing. In fact, it was named "Good value full HOTAS setup" and "Ranked 2 out of 7" in their respective roundups, which points to it being a product worthy of consideration. Alan Wake 2's minimum specs have disqualified my gaming laptop, and now I question the financial viability of PC gamingOriginally posted by ZEEK (Trained Navy Seal):thanks alot everyone! do you have any other recommendations i could look in too?

Originally posted by ZEEK (Trained Navy Seal):i was interested in the logitech x56 for this game, elite dangerous and star citizen and other types of games that could use it I am interested in buying my first HOTAS. I've been looking at second-hand and found the following (compared with retail price) The key elements are there. The detachable throttle is probably the neatest feature: given that you're going to need easy access to your keyboard for its extra buttons, being able to split these components around it is a definite advantage. I bought Thrustmaster T.16000M FCS HOTAS 9.1.2017. Since then it has been in use almost daily with ED and some fight simulators. I do not need to use keyboard or mouse at all during flight in ED.Why this D&D actual play series featuring the voices of Geralt and FF16's Clive is going to be the next big thing Mounting the yoke itself is as simple as slipping it over the edge of your desk and doing it up, no drilling necessary, and the throttle quadrant doesn't even require mounting at all if you don't feel like it, though the process is also pretty straightforward.Not only are there detailed instructions on how to set the whole thing up—with control mapping charts and diagrams—there's even a little instruction leaflet for adjusting the yoke tension with an included spring. That part does require a little faffing, but isn't too scary. Looks great, thats all it has going for it. Hat switches and other knobs are sloppy, location of certain buttons could be better, The X52 Pro , on the other hand is excellent in all respects . all knobs and hat switches are constructed very well and in much better user friendly locations.
