Overview
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 |
Customise 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 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 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.
H.O.T.A.S. Configuration Software Enables Programmable
Controls
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.
