Pros and cons

According to our flight stick expert

This joystick is also suitable for VR gamers with a VR headset that you use via the computer.
Thanks to the 6 degrees of freedom support, playing a VR game is even more realistic with this flight stick.
Third-party software is required to set lighting and button functions.
You can't use this joystick with an active VR headset that you use without the computer, like an Oculus Quest 2.

Description

The Logitech G X56 Space/Flight H.O.T.A.S. is especially made for the astronaut and aviator who also wants to fly in VR. The X56 is suitable for all VR games that you play via the computer and supports 6 degrees of freedom (6DOF), so that your VR experience still seems more real. With 4 different springs, you can set various resistances, so that you always use the joystick with the correct resistance. The X56 has no less than 189 differently adjustable buttons, which you can set yourself via the Logitech software. Via the software, you can also set the RGB lighting to give the controller a personal touch.

Review is 7,5 out of 10.

The product was to my heart's desire, but unfortunately for

Matte finish is nice
twist axis
2 analog sticks
Plastic

Summary: The product is very nice in design, you can notice that functionality has been well thought out, but the build quality is debatable.

I am very satisfied with the product, all the buttons were where they make the most sense, with the exception of the analog stick on the throttle (which is very uncomfortable). I used this hotas as a sequel to my dual T16000Ms for the game Star Citizen. The reason I got this set is because I wanted a hotas with a twist axis in the joystick. You often sacrifice precision for this twist axis on the Pitch and Jaw, something that has been a well-considered choice for me and something I can live with just fine.

During the installation there were some problems, especially ghosting was something that is very present. For those who don't know what this is, this is that your computer thinks you're pressing buttons or moving the joystick without you doing it. The solution for me was to connect the throttle to my USB hub, which was in the back of my PC, and the joystick directly to the front of my PC. In this way, both devices were in a separate USB bus, so there was no more Ghosting.

Except for that little thing, it was plug and play. I replaced the spring for a softer spring (joystick) and therefore had to adjust the dead zones (they were now slightly larger). Something I found out is that there are deadzones and S-curves for almost every axis, except for the analog sticks. I used these sticks for horizontal movements (strafe), it would have been easier if this had been possible. after all, the code was already programmed for every other axis anyway. After the hotas no longer caused problems with ghosting, the experience was that everything just worked.

That's why I'm so disappointed about the following; However, I soon noticed at the beginning that the throttle started to loosen, so I had to tighten the thigtening wheel more and more. Until a few days ago this was no longer possible. This was ultimately the reason that I sent it back to CoolBlue.

So on the internet you mainly read from people that the throttle is too stiff and can't be loosened anymore, so with me it was just the other way around. Let's hope that when Logitech comes out with a new edition, they make their own software and release the hotas with better quality control!

Not a good joystick

Lots of buttons
Constant 'Ghost inputs'

Both modules provide constant ghost inputs. Are you flying and suddenly your flaps or landing gear unfold. Also often had your main guns going off for no reason. I do not recommend this product.

Still definitely recommended!

Feels very good
Beautiful, realistic and adjustable resistance on the throttles
(More) than enough buttons for inputs
Ghost inputs if you don't have enough power on your USB port

Nice hotas, I upgraded from a T16000 to this one, and it is really recommended if you are looking to upgrade yourself. Also definitely good as beginner hotas!
