Giving military-grade precision to flight and space sims, its HOTAS configuration software allows 189 programmable controls for you to: I also tried everything to fix. I bought a usb power meter to see what happens. As far as I see this is not a mainly power issue. Because wattage seems perfect with my powered usb hub (results are below) Read Related Article: Logitech Harmony 700 Review – A Deep Dive What We Don’t Like About Logitech X56

Are you just trying to program to use the X56 within DCS itself or are you OK with using the Logitech G programming software for the X-56 HOTAS ? TLDR; use your gpu’s usb-c port, use your monitor’s usb port or use a pci usb card. Just don’t use your motherboard’s usb ports. Every Sim Pilot has their favorite setups/settings and it's all good .... what ends up working best for you is what matters ....

Logitech X56 Profile and Control Options/Key Binds .lau files by PoppaCapnurass

The RGB lighting is the most aesthetically pleasing feature of Logitech X56. You can set it to match, complement, or contrast to the color of your gaming keyboard, making for a beautiful setup. The included HOTAS configuration software gives you 189 programmable controls. The 13 axes, 5 HATS, and 31 programmable buttons can be customized over three modes, while the dead bands can be adjusted with the response curves to fine-tune axes. Also, to assign any button to any number of in-sim commands. You can even assign mouse and keyboard commands, from single-key inputs to timed and macro commands. Logitech X56 looked and felt solid out of the box, and throughout our 400-plus hours of testing, it remained fully functional with no problems in terms of its build quality. If you want it to be a more fixed and permanent part of your setup, the X56 has holes present in bases to affix it to nearly any surface. Sometimes, some random actions just occurred during gameplay, such as opening the galaxy map and engaging the frame shift drive. Sometimes this happened when we first started playing, and at other times after a few hours of gameplay. An internet search pulled up threads about this. Seemingly the unit’s high-power draw could be the issue, even though we connected our Logitech X56 to an aftermarket USB 3.0 PCIe card. Whatever the cause, unplugging and re-plugging the USB cables fixes the issue; at least until the next time it happens. With button configuration and layout vitally important for many games; this is especially true for flight and space simulators. A lot of gamers enjoy having a separate control for throttle as it offers more versatility, and extra speed, at your fingertips.

The downside to having a detached throttle is that they’re generally more expensive. Although bear in mind that they aren’t just great for strictly aircraft games, or flight or space simulators; they can also work for a wide range of games, such as some FPSs where you might jump into a jet or helicopter. Logitech X56 has two rotary knobs on the throttle’s base that, like its dials, can be mapped to anything. However, we couldn’t find any real benefit in doing so. I also had some problems with my vr headset (reverb g2) while trying to connect it to my pc (with motherboard’s usb ports that has VR label on it!!!) and solved it with connecting headset’s usb cable to my monitor’s usb port??? (also gpu’s usb-c port is working well with the headset)

Upgrade the VR gaming experience with the re-emerging space simulation genre and the advanced X56 HOTAS. After testing, using, and reviewing, (ok, weeks of fun gaming!) taking into consideration the most important features, we’ll make our final verdict. Who’s It For?
