Is $325 a terrible deal for the Logitech G X56?

You’ll get at least the most axis/buttons per dollar from this. Heard a lot bad things about the X56 like jumpy axis (can happen with every potentiometer tech) fiddely buttons and springcentering. But also know some people who are quite happy with it. My X52Pro had a lifespan of 8years, thats a great deal with this build quality, recently got the Warthog Hotas which is way better with much smoother axis.

But I’d say the X56 is a great deal when you can get it for $250-$280 (when you compare it to a stick - rudder combo on the warthog for at least $800) and its button/axis range is more then sufficient for casual flying - If you can find a X52 it could be great as well - mine was great for 6 years and died just after 8 years. Or you can get the T16000M as it uses much better sensor technology on the axis (just don’t get the real cheap thrustmaster ones)
