Customers have expressed concerns about the smoothness of the video game controller. They mention that the throttle tends to move when resting their hand on it. Some customers also report that the little thumb joystick drifts. Opinions are mixed on buttons, quality, and value.
AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers are mixed about the quality of the video game controller. Some mention they are impressed by the quality and true life feel of the product. They say the throttles have pretty good ergo, and the controls are well built. However, others say that the entire thing does feel cheap, is made from cheap materials, and has an unacceptable stiffness. They also say the ergonomic design was poorly done and seems non-standard.

"...It's plastic, but its a nice plastic. The exterior of the device looks and feels durable.-Buttons have decent tactile feel...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the buttons. Some mention that the controls feel nice and not clunky, it's perfectly molded to a human hand. However, others say that it flickers and makes random button press commands. Some say that the buttons are awkwardly placed and feel cheap.
"...The movement of the main joystick is fluid and smooth, and there are more buttons and hat switches than I could possibly need!..." Read more

Customers are mixed about the value of the video game controller. Some mention it's worth the price, while others say it'll be a complete waste of money.
"...The buttons feel cheap and junky, and $267 for a single stage trigger? Seriously?..." Read more
"...Again, its good for the price if wanting something cheap to fool around with. If you're serious about flight sims, this might not be the one for you." Read more
"...Its a bit on the expensive side for what your getting, but is still a great middle ground from entry level to 1-1 sim level gear...." Read more
"...Good bang for it's buck. Make sure if you do get this to regrease a small dab on the ball part of the stick...." Read more
Customers dislike the smoothness of the video game controller. For example, they say it has a tendency to move when resting their hand on it, the whole throttle will slide or move, and the little thumb joystick drifts. It requires a stiff shove to move at all, and has inconsistencies in friction that plays havoc with landings and breaks. That said, small movements are impossible due to too much sticktion, and it has ergonomic issues.
"...in order to maintain position, or it will lower itself and easily moves if even bumped - and that part never got better over time...." Read more
"...My concerns are that the friction on the throttle is janky. Out of the box, the right throttle could click as you moved it forward and back...." Read more
"...slide on the front of the throttle has some issues and no longer returns to center after just a few months...." Read more
"...-Squeaks after some time (Expected).-Inability to return to center after some use(Expected)-Customer support was not the best...." Read more

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Despite being primarily plastic, the controls feel premium and construction feels solid. The movement of the main joystick is fluid and smooth, and there are more buttons and hat switches than I could possibly need! The single complaint is with the split throttle needing to be very stiff in order to maintain position, or it will lower itself and easily moves if even bumped - and that part never got better over time. Warning #1, check the dimensions, these things are huge compared to some other HOTAS options! Warning #2, despite that size, they are not too heavy, so some kind of mounting is necessary if you "play with passion." lol
Have easily a couple hundred hours use and no problems or major complaints except the throttle stickiness. Easily recommend unless a person can make the jump to more than twice the cost of the X56 to go to the next step up joytsick and throttles.
INSTALLATION: There is no install disk included for the software, you have to download drivers off Logitech's website (which was easy). DO NOT PLUG IN PRODUCT TO PC BEFORE STARTING TO INSTALL SOFTWARE!! It will tell you when to plug in the sticks to your USB ports. I'm guessing this is so that Windows doesn't auto-install default joystick software.
**** It would be nice if the USB cords were braided, and a little longer. For the price of the product, it would really put it above other, pricier HOTAS systems.
SOFTWARE / USAGE: The software takes a bit of getting used to and fiddling with. If you aren't used to setting up joysticks, DOWNLOAD the installation .pdf from Logitech's website for this product. At first, I thought I got a bad stick, because the right side of the X-axis wasn't responding. Turns out I just needed to FOLLOW THE .pdf MANUAL to re-calibrate the stick. It only took me about 10 minutes of fooling with the software to become familiar, so don't let your unfamiliarity with HOTAS systems deter you from purchase :)
Summary: Feels great, premium plastics and doesn't feel cheap at all. There's a good weight to both the stick and throttle. There's a little squeak when YAW'ing right or left, but other than that everything is well lubricated in the chassis. All the RGB lights work out of the box.
***Side note**** Be sure to plug in to USB 2.0, so that you're feeding the correct voltage to your stick/throttle. Under-voltage (such as caused by being plugged into USB 1.0) WILL cause ghosting on the stick, and intermittent failures -such as random inputs while in flight).
Stick is nice and moved smoothly. Over all 4 stars. I am using the spring that came on it for now but I like it. There are complaints about trying to use the stick to make small inputs but I really don't see an issue. All the buttons work great. The entire thing does feel cheap but some how hasn't broken yet. Only downside of the stick is that its huge. I have pretty large hands and still have to move my hand around the stick to be able to hit all the buttons. I worked fighter aircraft in the military and those sticks you could hit every button or switch without moving your hand or reaching for the button. The X56, if I want to use the pinky switch, I have to slide my hand down the stick, once done I have to slide back up to use those switches on top.
The throttle is over all 3 stars. Its nice to have the dual throttle and all the buttons. My concerns are that the friction on the throttle is janky. Out of the box, the right throttle could click as you moved it forward and back. I had to loosen the friction all the way to make the clicking go away. With the friction knob all the way loose, the left throttle is still hard to move and the right throttle will move on its own. The slide switch is sticky. When I had the X45, I would use that switch for speed brakes but with how sticky this one is, I had to use another one. I did have the slide as ejection but with ghost inputs, I would randomly eject and that was not going to work. Now the switch doesn't do anything.
I got this stick because I needed one with Yaw axis since I don't use rudder pedals right now due to room restrictions. One thing I wish this did have was a pressure sensitive button for brakes. Right now when I apply brakes using pinky switch, its just full brakes being applied and not gradual braking.
Again, its good for the price if wanting something cheap to fool around with. If you're serious about flight sims, this might not be the one for you.

Preço porém é alto, se puder comprar valerá cada centavo.
I packed it back up the next day and shipped it back. Paid for shipping AGAIN! Took the seller 2 months and constant chasing to get a refund. The standard reply was "please allow 8-10 days for our returns department to assess...." Spent about $300 shipping both ways for nothing.
Seriously do yourself a favor before buying this - go to Reddit, your game forums, etc to read about it. Don't trust YouTube reviews as they are almost guaranteed a working model of the X56.
Finally got myself the cheaper Thrustmaster Airbus.
