Review on Logitech G Saitek X56 H.O.T.A.S. Kit Black by Micha Gozdalik ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The item is very cool, it could be worse.

In general, the issue with this hotas may be attributed to two different factors: a highly specific niche (a small market), and Logitech's indifference for the product. 1. Market. The Hotas is a crooked plastic toy that comes in a lovely and luminous container; nevertheless, in all honesty, it is not worth the money. Served with pathos and show-offs (see out the Logitek website for more information). But since nothing better can be purchased, the only options available are the x52 or the really straightforward trustmasters. Do you desire better? And only virpil controls are worth the additional expense, which is five times higher. Or you could get a vkb sim, which is cheaper, Belarusian china made of plastic (but very thoughtful and high-quality), but they have not been able to release the RUD for the third year in a row, so it will be difficult to find the RUD somewhere else separately. 2. This is the very center of the matter. QUALITY. I believe that you read that Logitech bought Saitek and all they did was re-glue the nameplates after they purchased the company. without making ANY other adjustments. The construction quality, which had been at the same level as Uncle Liao's, had not changed; in any case, there are laying wires that are broken and frayed, and thermal paste is someplace; that is all. When you buy an expensive product from a well-known brand, you may be getting a pig in a poke since it may perform properly for many years or it may stop functioning properly within a week. It took place with X52 in my case. You do so at your own risk, and it is preferable if the purchase comes with a guarantee.

Pros
  • Already superior to the X52. - Ministicks are terrible, although there are few. - Numerous buttons on the throttle, as well as a separate throttle with a practical latch - Neat "metal" toggle switches - Four axial krutilki - Appearance of wealth - A good gripping handle, typical precision, and you nearly don't feel that the plate loading, that is, a sane center. These are the characteristics of a good gripping handle.
Cons
  • It was inconvenient for me that the ministicks and huts on RUDE are positioned from the bulldozer. Very unusual "kinematics" of the ore, as if fat was put there - it is very tight to shift, but once you start moving it relaxes - Trigger (trigger) with only one click (by the way, really lovely) - RUS is poor in buttons, the brake lever is not an axle, but a cheap button - RUS is poor in buttons. - RUS is poor in buttons. - RUS is poor in buttons. - RUS is poor The potentiometer has a terrible twist (also spelled radder and yaw). Nonlinear and releasable in nature.
