The Logitech G X56 HOTAS Throttle (part number: 945-000058), was released in 2018 as an updated version after Logitech acquired Saitek from Mad Catz. Designed to be used in VR and flight simulation gaming. The Logitech G X56 HOTAS Throttle is modern and military-grade with 189 programmable controls. This device has twin throttles for dual-engine craft and can lock for single-engine flights. The X56 has improved build quality with better resistance to electrostatic discharge and a more reliable USB connection. The X56 comes with toggle switches, rotary dials, sliders, and multiple hat switches. The X56 has multiple negative reviews. Many reviews state that the throttle adjustment (for tension) didn’t work properly and that there were problems with the buttons not functioning correctly (buttons firing when they were not pressed and buttons not firing when they were pressed).

The Logitech G X56 HOTAS Throttle can be identified by its physical characteristics and the nameplate on the bottom. The nameplate on the bottom can be used to indicate the model of the throttle and it should say Logitech G X56 HOTAS in blue font on a black sticker. The throttle’s defining characteristic is its two linear actuators that can be operated independently and together. Other physical characteristics are the three-position mode switch, three guarded switches on the bottom, four toggle switches to the left of the linear actuators, and two RTY knobs below the four toggle switches.
