## Description

Six degrees of freedom Brilliant RGB Independent twin throttles 189+ programmable controls

Review: Excellent Hotas setup. I really like the changeable springs and use the lightest one. I might get stuff to create an even lighter one that would feel more like my CH stick. I find the joystick under the thumb very easy to knock around by mistake, so often do not use it of assign some function like zoom to it. Another thicker right had support would also be good. The throttle even when the restiance is set to it's lowest still is a bit stiff and sometimes when flying I mistakenly move the whole unit. Tried clamp anchor but not satisfactory. I downloaded drivers etc first from Saitek site and it did not work well. Tried downloading from the Logitech site but it would not reinstall, even with "help" from Logitech. Restored an slightly out of date BU and installed the drivers from Logitech and then things work just fine.
Review: I've had this for about 3 months and no problems with the hardware at all. The throttle is a bit sticky, even at the lowest resistance setting, but it isn't that big of a deal for me. One VERY IMPORTANT thing: I use this with Windows 10. EVERY TIME I reboot my computer, the driver gets screwed up and either the X, Y, or Z axis on the joystick either stops responding or is just pinned maxed out to one direction or the other. Unplugging the joystick and plugging it back in does not fix this. I've seen several negative reviews for this product complaining about this very thing. Logitech / Saitek suggested to uninstall / reinstall the driver & software, which will fix it, but that is not necessary. Here is what you need to do to fix it quick, without renstalling anything: 1. Open the configuration software and go into the settings (not programming) section for the joystick. 2. Click "calibrate axis". Sometimes this is all you need to do. Check the movement & centering in the settings for all three axis. If it's moving as it should, you're done. If not, go to step 3. 3. If you have an axis that is still not moving as it should, with that axis selected, change the Deadband setting by 1 and click "Apply". (I usually have my Deadband set to 50, so I'll adjust it to 51.) Repeat this for all axis that aren't working as expected. That *should* fix the joystick axis and keep your vessel from constant vomit inducing spinning. Occasionally though, the axis curve will also get screwed up. This is pretty uncommon, but I have had it happen. For the joystick, you most likely (unless you have a ship you just want turning in one direction) want an increasing S curve profile (straight line from bottom left to top right). Select the diagonal left-to-right S curve (just above the apply button). This will reset your Deadband, so you'll want to set that back to whatever you want, then hit apply. I hope that A) this helps out anyone else experiencing this problem (It took me several days & many hours of messing around to figure this out, so hopefully it saves someone some time), and B) that Logitech FIXES THIS STUPID BUG! It's really irritating to have to do this every single time Microsoft decides Windows must install updates and restart the computer, against my wishes.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: This is listed for a price of $249 on Logitech.  Why the $399 Jack in price?**
A: Because it violates amazons fair price policy.

**Q: well the last review was may of 2017, has the quality improved any or is it still a bad buy?**
A: I bought this back in January 2018 and returned it the next day. Badly built, extremely flimsy buttons. Not at all what I expected. I would highly recommend you get something else. Skip this one! I ended up buying the Thrustmaster T.16000 FCS HOTAS Controller and WOW... I was totally surprised with this one!!

**Q: Logitech saitek g pro flight x56 rhino hotas for 329.95 different from the logitech saitek g pro flight x56 rhino hotas for 249.95?**
A: I believe they are the same. 
Only one x56 Rhino I know of.

**Q: would love to purchase this product but there are so many negative reviews. Are these issues still a problem or are they fixed?**
A: There are no negative reviews of this product that I know of. I purchased mine several years ago and I use it to play X-Plane 11 and it's more than perfect. I play x plane 11 every day. I always calibrate both controls before playing, and sometimes while playing. I've used mine sometimes for 3 or 4 hours straight with no problems.If playing x plane 11, or any other game always calibrate them, they should be calibrated sometimes while playing any kind of game. I've heard of alot of people using it to play space games but x plane 11 is the only game I play. It will control  4 engine plane's also.        George Smith

So far quality seems solid. Requires a lot of set up due to all the buttons and functionality, but that's why you buy something like this. Would buy again.
