Review summary

AI-generated content
This product is well-constructed and comes with adjustable springs to adjust the stiffness of the joystick. It is suitable for entry-level and mid-range flight sims, but may not be suitable for high-end games. It is also not a military grade product, but is a reasonable purchase for those who don't want to drop $500+ on a DCS case.

Pros

  • Well constructed
  • Adjustable spring tension
  • Good for low-light gameplay
  • Compact design
  • Easy to use

Cons

  • Buttons may go off without touching
  • Stick causes noise
  • Lacks stability
  • Difficult to differentiate input direction
  • Limited joystick adjustment

Description

Military-grade Space Sim Precision - Evolving the H.O.T.A.S. Designed to meet the needs of the re-emerging space simulation genre, Saitek introduces the new X-56 Rhino H.O.T.A.S. System. Built to the same exacting standards of Saitek's award-winning Pro Flight accessories range, the X-56 Rhino delivers a multitude of customizable options. 6 Degrees of Freedom (6DoF) - New Mini Analog Stick Control Surfaces In modern space sims control is becoming more complex than in traditional atmosphere-based flight simulations, with many more inputs required to achieve true control of the space craft. Pitch, roll, yaw, backwards, forwards, up, down, left and right (the titular 6DoF) all need to be accounted for. This is why the new mini analog sticks are required; providing four more axes of control. Assignable to any in-game axis function, or programmable using the included software, running out of control options is no longer an issue. RGB Backlighting - Customize lighting to suit your setup Many PC peripherals now feature RGB backlighting and now the X-56 is no exception. Use the software to set the colour of the lighting to match the rest of your gaming rig. VR Controller - Ideal for use while wearing a HMD Piloting whilst using VR is a great experience but can prove difficult because you can't see your own hands, which can make finding the controls you need problematic. The X-56 places controls perfectly under your fingers where subtle distinctions in button feel and shape help you navigate the control set with ease. Even the switches on the base of the throttle are staggered or separated so telling them apart from feel alone is possible, leaving you free to concentrate on the immersive VR experience. Contact-free Hall Effect sensors - Enhanced Stick Accuracy The X-56 Rhino's control surfaces are incredibly accurate, courtesy of a 16-bit aileron and elevator axis, each employing hall-effect sensors. Developed from the ground up, Saitek's 16-bit axis solution enables extremely precise flight. Adjustable Stick Spring Force via Advanced 4-Spring F.E.E.L. System A ground-breaking, adjustable stick spring system allows pilots to alter the force required to move the stick. Four springs of varying resistance are included to provide a total of five different options. Choose the spring – or no spring at all – which best accommodates your style of flying. Twin Throttle with Friction Adjuster and Throttle Lock The X-56 Rhino boasts twin throttles – ideal for situations in which your primary engine is disabled and you're down to one – and also provides the option to adjust the friction required to move them. And if your aircraft of choice is single-engine, a handy throttle lock effectively converts the twin throttles into a single unit. At least 231 Programmable Controls Saitek's software provides the ability to completely customize all of the X-56 Rhino's axes and buttons. You can adjust deadbands and response curves to fine-tune axes to respond as you wish; all buttons can assign any number of in-sim commands, such as afterburner, Frame Shift Drive, target lock and weapon group firing. The software also allows programmability for an array of mouse and keyboard commands – from basic single-key inputs to very advanced, timed, and macro commands. Your Saitek Pro Flight X-56 Rhino will include: X-56 Rhino Stick Unit with USB Connector Cable X-56 Rhino Throttle Unit with USB Connector Cable and Green Backlighting Spring System with 4 Springs of Varied Resistance Minimum System Requirements: Microsoft Windows: XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10,  2x USB 2.0 Ports x52 SCB432150002/02/1 X55 HOTAS rino pro yoke flight simulator yoke rudder 728658432157 Video Game PC Windows SCB432210002/01/1 x56 728658049164 logitech madcatz 97855127860 945-000021 945-000058 Rhino 945-000058 097855136145
