Saitek's Military-Grade Space Sim Precision H.O.T.A.S. System

Evolving the H.O.T.A.S. (Hands On Throttle And Stick)
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.

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.

6 Degrees of Freedom (6DoF)

New Mini Analog Stick Control Surfaces
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 features unique, purpose-built mini analog sticks at the thumbs providing four more axes of control plus double as buttons.

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 color of the lighting to match the rest of your gaming rig. Whether you're in the heat of a fight or about to drop the landing gear in the space station, X56 supplies the heroic environment you need for the best experience. Edit the full-spectrum RGB lighting to your liking with feature-rich software.

VR Headset Ready

Ideal for use whilst 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 the extremely precise flight control required by modern Flight and Space Simulators in High Resolutions, including 4K UHD.

Advanced 4 Spring F.E.E.L.
w/ Adjustable Stick Spring Force
A ground breaking, adjustable stick spring system allows you to alter the force to move the stick, 4 Springs are included to provide a total of five different options. Customize with or without a Spring to match your flight style, because if your flight stick doesn't feel realistic, it will take you out of the game.

Twin Throttle w/ Friction Adjuster & 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 need more control than ever...

This feature 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 one.

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

H.O.T.A.S. Configuration Software Enables Programmable Controls

More than 189+ 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.
