Re: Saitek X-56 Rhino

I'm now retired and have a lot more time for my hobbies, Wife, music home ownership and bucket list and of course Elite. Not in that order necessarily. Except of course Wife...

Re: Saitek X-56 Rhino

And it has happened yet again - a crucial button on my X-55 has just died meaning that I won't be playing Elite Dangerous for a while. Even if I had the time to drive around town on a warranty run (which I don't), the warranty has run out. I'll pull it apart tonight and see if I can fix it. If not,...

Re: Saitek X56

I only use voice attack when I'm lazy.. Call me lazy then (and as you know) Voice attack is my copilot and allows me to do a lot more, a lot faster than if I did it with just buttons. Besides, I enjoy Verity's voice. Except when the reacts when I take a breath or any kind of pause before a command ...

Re: Saitek X-56 Rhino

Re: Saitek X-56 Rhino

I'm looking at an upgrade to my HOTAS setup and am likely getting an X-56. Does anyone have this particular one? If so, what are your thoughts on the setup and use with Elite: Dangerous? Any caveats? I recently purchased the x56 and here's what I can tell you from my personal experience. First let ...
