Pros: Best Flight stick I ever used.
Cons: Needs time to break in, stiff out of the box.
Review: I am upgrading from the X52, the X56 is like night and day. It makes Elite Dangerous even better. More than enough controls for anyone.

Pros: Nice feel and many control options. FS 2020 comes configured for the X56
Cons: Both the stick and throttle need to be mounted to keep them from moving during game play.
Review: The X56 works extremely well with Microsoft FS 2020. The large number of switches, hats, and other controls provide great options, minimizing the need to reach for the mouse or keyboard. The throttle quadrant is smooth with the right amount of resistance. The multiple spring option on the stick allows for excellent resistance. My previous stick was much too stiff.

Pros: everything
Cons: Taking off the spring case was little tough
Review: Well I upgraded from a Logitech 3d pro joystick to this, and OMG THIS THING IS SO GREAT! I had to use the red spring so I could get it to be a little stronger on the feed back. But all in all this x56 rhino set up is awesome, and don't say there is not enough buttons for your hands because there are plenty. This thing is very easy to work with and once you get use to it, its really fun and great to have. I play Elite Dangerous with it and love it. It's a little on the pricy side but like they say you get what you pay for. Simple as that.

Pros: Fast, clean, a million buttons and knobs
Cons: Twisting (yaw) on the stick is horrible.
Review: This thing has me flying like a pro now after flying with an xbox controller. Seriously... I didn't realize how good I was until I could actually control the plane...

With that said... One major flaw. The twist spring for the stick is so strong I think I'm going to break the stick off. So I move rudder trim and nosewheel tiller to one of the million knobs on the throttle.

Plus I heard the twist spring can break it. So elected not to use it at all.

Pros: Attractive design, seems well built
Cons: I had problems with the software and stopped using it.
Review: Overall, it meets my expectations. I like the placement of most of the buttons. I can reach everything easily. Small hands might disagree. The build quality seems good and I hope the X-56 lasts a few years.

Pros: You just cant fly without one. I couldn't do diddly with an Xbox controller and now, since using this HOTAS, I'm an ace.
Cons: Cost, but if you can afford it it is worth it

Pros: Multiple keys/switches/hats, dual throttles, solid construction great price.
Cons: None, if you're upgrading.
Review: Went beyond my expectations, after upgrading from a T-1600M, it's like night and day. I don't know why I waited so long to get this product. You can't go wrong buying this product.

By Alan Capoldo from Manitowoc WI USA on Monday, May 22, 2023
Pros: Enough functions to incorporate all needed assignments.
Cons: Still throttle even when loosened all the way.
Review: It met all of my expectations. The only fault is the throttle control stiffens up when you first use it. I move it back and forth several times to loosen it.

Pros: 1. Variable Spring tensions 2. Programmability
Cons: - -
Review: Bought this as an upgrade to the X-52 pro. Because of the ability to easily replace the spring with the various tensions options. I also bought additional springs for future needs. I've always like their Profiler app, and the programable custom curves features make it works even better.
