Logitech G X56 H.O.T.A.S Throttle and Joystick Flight Simulator Game Controller, 6 Dregrees of Freedom, 4 Spring Options, +189 Programmable Controls, RGB Lighting, 2x USB, PC - Black

Product Information

The centre spring on the joystick is just right, where on the X52 it is far too light for me personally. is the six degrees of freedom—pitch, roll, yaw, backwards, forwards, up, down, left and right—that all need to be accounted for. When I’m not testing out every peripheral I can get my hands on, I’m probably either playing tennis or dissecting game design for an upcoming video essay. You'll have everything you need to take to the skies from day one here, with more impressive add-ons always waiting if you feel you need them.

Unfortunately, this impressive bit of kit is only compatible with PC, so console players will need to carry on reading. The more complex aircraft you plan to fly with the HOTAS the more programmable features and precision you will need. After Logitech purchased Saitek from its parent-company Mad Catz in September 2017, it started development on improvement, in nearly every aspect, of the older Saitek design.It's what I am used to and what works best for me and I am happy I did not spend more money on a HOTAS which I would have stowed away after half a year anyway. It is very, very important that it be a powered hub because that is the only way the throttle will get enough power to function properly.

And not just buttons either; extra hat switches adorn the throttle itself, one that can be split in two should you need discrete control, and there are a host of toggles and metal flick switches too.If you're just looking for a joystick to see you through Flight Simulator with a little more realism, you don't need to spend much. Whether you're a newbie looking to test the waters skies of Flight Simulator, or you're a veteran pilot looking for an upgrade, there are plenty of options on the shelves right now. Thanks to the TARGET software it comes bundled with, you can install optimized and custom profiles too, for games like War Thunder, Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous.
