Description

Saitek continues to lead the market in innovative hardware for the sim enthusiast and just two years ago we launched the X-55 Rhino which continued a logical progression from the venerable X-52 Pro and the unique X-65F. The X-56 Rhino takes all of the feedback that we've received on the X-55 and improves on what was already a very well received product. We've also taken the opportunity to respond to changes in the market. In the two years since the X-55 was launched the simulation landscape has changed with the resurgence of the Space Sim genre; the peripheral market has also seen RGB LEDs become almost standard in high-end products. The Rhino tackles these factors head-on with the inclusion of two mini analog sticks which are ideal for the extra control surfaces present in space sims; and the inclusion of RGB backlighting allows you to match the X-56 with the rest of your rig. The mini analog sticks can be used for vertical, horizontal and lateral thruster control, making docking a cinch; gimballed weapons can be assigned making alternative aiming whilst maintaining spacecraft manoeuvrability much more achievable; you can even assign one of the sticks to function as a mouse cursor. With all of the controls that are now possible to be assigned, this now makes the X-56 even better for use in VR. In VR you need to ensure that all controls are under your fingertips because trying to find your real-world keyboard and mouse with a headset covering your vision is hard enough - knowing which keys you're hitting, even harder! The rest of the main features from the X-55 are retained - the F.E.E.L. adjustable spring tension mechanism; the throttle tension adjuster; the large stable bases which include mounting points for those placing permanently in their cockpit; it truly is the best HOTAS we've ever made.

I have to say, with all of these negative reviews, I was a bit nervous to buy this hotas between the x56 and the ac 10 warthog.however, after almost 2 1/2 months of play time, i have to say this is one amazing hotas and I do not regret this purchase in the slightest.so first, the good stuff.Pros-----------This hotas, when placed and oriented properly, feels amazingly comfortable in my hands.-Extreme precision like you wouldn't believe.-more buttons and switches than you know what to do with.-Far better lifespan and durability than the x-55-the analogue sticks despite their looseness are very precise.-i have encountered none of the critical issues stated in the reviews before me.now for the bad stuff.Cons---------the stick on the throttle could have been placed a bit better-when throttled all the way up, it is difficult to operate the switches at the bottom.-when throttled all the way down it is difficult to operate the switches on the side.-the whole thing is made of plastic so it feels flimsy and as a result has a slight "bouncy" or "speed bumpy" feeling to it every time the stick passes center.(as a remedy just pop on the weakest spring it's really smooth)-the analogue sticks are a bit "loose" in that you will need to set a small dead zone so that they aren't always doing somethingFinal noteworthy mentions.----------------------------------------the throttle will be a bit stiff for the first maybe week. just bear with it. it will loosen up.be careful that you don't accidentally hit a rotary on the throttle you wont notice until it does something funny.you'll likely want to bind your stick to translation thrust controls.In conclusion, I think this is a great hotas even for its price point and only a few little issues that are more or less just minor annoyances.Good job madcatz keep this trend up and you may just clear your bad reputation.
