On another note, if logitech had simply taken the joystick from this x56 (which works really well) and the throttle from the x52 pro (which also works really well, even though it has some weird button placement, and a useless screen) They would have had a decent, reliable product
Great product
I really wanted this to be a great re-engineered product up to Logitech standards, but it is still a Saitek piece of garbage.

The only gripe I have about the Logitech X56 is that it will require a USB output that provides enough adequate power for it to function properly.
If the motherboard on your PC does not provide adequate power on its USB 2.0 or 3.0 ports, the X56 may not function properly unless you buy a powered USB hub, preferably a 3.0 one.

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.

It's seemingly pretty good build quality, the joystick moves smoothly and easily, and I like the understated glow from it
While the build quality is absolutely fine, clearly it's not as bulletproof as the much more expensive Thrustmaster Warthog, but then does it really need to be
I've always owned Logitech products like their gaming mice and keyboards and all have been really good quality that lasts forever.

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
hated the button placement on the thrustmaster, and the x52 pro, while it had great buttons, was a crap stick
On another note, if logitech had simply taken the joystick from this x56 (which works really well) and the throttle from the x52 pro (which also works really well, even though it has some weird button placement, and a useless screen) They would have had a decent, reliable product
I find that three of the buttons aren't working on the stick, the trigger which is a huge one the mouse pointer button and there also a button on the base of the stick, nothing at all
Throttle is smooth, buttons work, software integration is seamless
I didn't feel like shelling out $470 for the Thrustmaster Warthog but considering the extremely limited HOTAS systems with dual throttles out there, there's not many other options.
While this HOTAS has a troubled past I can attest to what I received as being awesome.
There are some ergonomic issues with the throttle (cramped switches) but overall while working its an excellent HOTAS.
As such it's a really solid HOTAS solution, currently for under 200 bucks on Amazon, and I couldn't be happier with how it works in operation
This is especially aggravating as there just is not a hotas setup worth buying it seems in the under 400$ range

So I'll be flying along in Elite Dangerous, try to throttle up, and end up deploying my landing gear, turning on ships lights, sliding left, and opening my cargo hatch; all at the same time.
All that metal comes at a very big price premium and you simply don't think about that when using the X56, which actually has the advantage of a "mini" joystick on both throttle and stick, absolutely perfect for thruster control and camera manipulation in space sims like Elite Dangerous
will update review after it gets more use.**UPDATE**So i finally finished my work week, and sat down excited to try this setup out in elite dangerous

The bad: downright awkward placement of certain buttons, especially on the throttle

The updated X56 HOTAS features a new stealthy black and gray finish
The changes go beyond cosmetic, with engineering updates to address the feedback from the community delivering a more amazing experience for all flight enthusiasts; from fun, plug-and-play gaming all the way to professional fine-tuned simulation
The X56 has a multitude of customizable options, including mini analog sticks to enable true 6 degrees of freedom control of your spacecraft
Featuring 16-bit non-contact sensors, the stick offers the most accurate level of control on the market today; control that you can enhance even further via adjustment of the response curves and deadzones
RGB lighting allows you to customize the appearance of the stick so that it becomes a fully integrated part of your simulation setup.
