The Logitech G X-56 H.O.T.A.S. system is a fully integrated handheld stick and joystick flight controller that meets or exceeds the demands of even the most seasoned flight simulator pilots. Designed to enhance your flying experience, this control system features analogue sticks, a 16-bit aileron with RGB lighting, a rudder axis and 189 programmable controls.
What's more, each button can be configured to respond to one of the game's commands via the configuration software.
Flying in VR is a unique experience, but it can be difficult because you can't see your hands. As a result, locating the controls can sometimes prove problematic. With the X-56, the controls are placed directly under your fingers, and thanks to their different shapes and textures, you'll find it easier to find your way around. Even the switches on the base of the controller are offset or separated to make them easier to distinguish by touch.
Just as in real flight, the accuracy of the aircraft's control surfaces is of paramount importance during virtual flight. The control surfaces in the X-56 H.O.T.A.S. system are incredibly accurate, thanks to the all-new 16-bit aileron and 16-bit elevator, each using Hall-effect sensors.
The Logitech G X-56 H.O.T.A.S. featuresan innovative adjustable spring system that allows you to change the amount of force required to move the stick. Four variable-resistance springs are included to provide a total of five different options. Choose the spring, or none at all, that best suits the way you fly.
Using a twin-engine throttle is the only appropriate method for handling a virtual twin-engine aircraft. The Logitech G X-56 H.O.T.A.S. system comes with two throttle controls - perfect for when your main engine is disabled and you're only flying with one - and also offers the option of adjusting the level of friction needed to move them. And if your aircraft of choice is a single-engine aircraft, a handy throttle lock button converts both throttles into a single throttle.
Many PC peripherals feature RGB backlighting and the X-56 is no exception. The software allows you to choose and match the colour of the lighting to the rest of your equipment.
Logitech G software allows you to fully customise all the axes and buttons on the Logitech G X-56 H.O.T.A.S. joystick. As far as the control surfaces are concerned, you can adjust the neutral zones and response curves to fine-tune the axes so that the virtual aircraft responds exactly as it would in a real situation. On the knobs and buttons side, you can attach any of the simulator's built-in controls, such as Afterburner, Frame Shift Drive, Target Lock and Multiple Weapons Fire.

Great SET to play fly simulation
the throttle is a bit stiff at first but a few moves unblocks it.
perfectly centred shaft and several springs for adjusting stick rigidity
Fast delivery
super happy with my purchase
I'm disgusted, the 'soft' plastics have become all sticky in not even 8 months. Irredeemable after several searches, my stick had to spend too much time in the warehouse before being sold to me, whereas at home I even have covers to protect it.
The LDLC hotline, which was efficient and competent, told me that the plastic defect was not covered by the warranty. I would have liked them to offer me a discount on a sol-r2, I would have agreed to pay the difference but they refused.
As a regular LDLC customer, I am very sorry about this experience.
I bought this product in November 2024.
The throttle broke on 5 August 2025 while I was playing peacefully.
I wasn't forcing it because I had reduced the resistance of the throttle to the maximum and I was just trading in Elite Dangerous, not even fighting.
A few days before the breakage, some play appeared in the right gas controller before it broke.
The one on the left has no problems and is still solid, so it's not down to the way I play.
I still haven't got round to configuring the throttle. Also, the throttle is too hard. I'll have to spend more time figuring out how to configure it on the various simulation programs. Not satisfied at the moment :-(
The product itself is a minor revolution in the joystick world.
It has virtually all the functions you need for Flight Simulator X, FLight Simulator 2020, P3D etc...
I don't pull back hard and it's not unusual for the base to lift up as well ... Annoying on a short final with an Airbus A380 ...
Apart from this negative point, the product is really top-notch and remains at the top of the range for this type of product.
