### Modern, Military-Grade Simulation

Designed to enhance the experience of VR gaming and the re-emerging space simulation genre, Logitech G offers the advanced X56 H.O.T.A.S. It’s a shining example of complete control featuring analog thumb sticks, RGB lighting 16-bit aileron and elevator axis, 189 programmable controls, and more. The updated X56 features a stealthy new black and gray finish in addition to engineering enhancements that address feedback from the community. Expect a more amazing experience for all flight enthusiasts; from fun, plug-and-play gaming all the way to professional, fine-tuned simulation

### READY FOR MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR

Take to the skies and experience the joy of flight in the next generation of Microsoft Flight Simulator, at its best on Logitech G flight equipment. Travel the world in amazing detail with over 37 thousand airports, 2 million cities, 1.5 billion buildings, real mountains, roads, trees (2 trillion of them), rivers, animals, traffic, and more. Test your piloting skills against the challenges of night flying, real-time atmospheric simulation, and live weather in a dynamic and living world. This gear is plug-and-play all the way, so there’s no need to load drivers or install extra software

### SIX DEGREES OF FREEDOM

In modern space sims with more dynamic spacecraft physics, control is more complex. And, much different than in traditional atmosphere-based flight simulations. 6DoF is the six degrees of freedom-pitch, roll, yaw, backwards, forwards, up, down, left and right-that all need to be accounted for. X56 H.O.T.A.S. features unique, purpose-built mini analog sticks at the thumbs, providing four more axes of control that double as buttons, perfect for pulling off precision maneuvers

### BRILLIANT RGB

Whether you’re in the heat of a dog fight or about to drop the landing gear in the space station, X56 H.O.T.A.S. supplies the heroic environment you need for the best experience. Edit the full-spectrum RGB lighting to your liking with feature-rich software

### VR VERISIMILITUDE

Not only is an advanced HOTAS like X56 mirroring what you see on screen, but the controls are also confidently positioned in your hands. For these reasons, plus the immense number and sensitivity of controls, X56 is ideal for head-mounted display (HMD) and VR gaming. Put on a headset and grab onto X56 for endless adventure in the clouds, or the stars

### ADJUSTABLE ACCURACY

Contact-free Hall effect sensors within the 16-bit aileron and elevator axis and the adjustable spring tensioning system gives X56 an unprecedented level of sensitivity and control at the stick, and when you’re piloting an Airbus control is pretty important. Four springs of differing tensions are included for an extra layer of customization. Even opt for no spring at all

### INDEPENDENT TWIN THROTTLES

The innovative twin throttles are ideal for dual-engine spacecraft and aircraft. They’re even more ideal for battle situations when your primary engine is disabled and you’re down to just one. Simply adjust the friction required to move each throttle. If your craft of choice is single-engine, the throttle lock effectively converts the twin throttles into a single unit

### 189+ PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLS

Customize all 13 axes, 5 HATS, and 31 programmable buttons over three modes. Adjust deadbands and response curves to fine-tune axes. Assign any button to any number of in-sim commands, such as afterburner, Frame Shift Drive, target lock, and weapon group firing. The software also lets you assign mouse and keyboard commands to X56, from single-key inputs to timed and macro commands
