Your HOTAS X56 randomly changes view, extract flaps, goes to full throttle etc. ?
You must connected them into one USB hub, and it causes lack of electric power and “ghost inputs”.
Just plug HOTAS controller into “independent USB jack” or use "self-power-supply USB hub,
and now your HOTAS controller works well!
Another possibility for ghosting are too long usb cables. In my case I used a self-power-supply USB hub with a 3m cable connected to the PC. This seems to be too much together with the cable length of the X56! After connecting the X56 directly to the PC everting was ok.
I have the same problem. Have the set connected via tp-link self-supplied hub and it frequently changes camera for external/internal and lowers the gears. Thats pretty annoying and I do not understand why it goes like that. I have never had such a problem either in fsx/p3d nor xplane.
Did you ever fix the problem?
I had the same problem. I think the power consumption of the throttle is close to the limit of the USB 2.0 specification. And so the electronic does not work correct.
I connected the throttle to an USB 3 port, which provides more power. That solved the problem for me.
I purchased a USB 3.0 hub which used 12v instead 5v and still get the issue.
Tried plugging hub in USB 3.0 from motherboard, USB 3.1 from motherboard and USB 3.0 on PCIe card (this one happens less than the others).
The above test was done with the RGB off on the X56 Throttle. My VIRPIL ALPHA does not have any issues.
I’d say that it has absolutely nothing to do with usb port nor cable because it’s a digital signal inside of the usb. Problem lies either in the faulty board or the fact that there are potentiometers inside that are creating EM noise that is interpreted as a button signal
this is not solved your way
Has anyone found a better solution for this or even maybe a software patch to help with it?
As I use the X56 for DCS and war thunder and after having the problem I went and got an independent power USP hub and still have the problem. I will say it is less often now but it still happens, I notice it happens most when applying inputs. I also notice that the USB has a white plastic insert, indicating it might be a USB 1.1… and that might be the problem if the cable is not rated for higher power and data needs
ps trying to air to air refuel and your gear goes down or probe retracts right as you get into the basket is soul crushing lol
Well there’s a workaround by creating a Profile in the Software that comes with the X55/56 and use advanced commands to bind the buttons to the keys instead of directly bind them in the in-game settings. Then, for the advanced commands, you can set delays of 0.1 or 0.2 sec. Ghost button presses are shorter than that, so the key press is not triggered by them.

Made and account here to say Thank you. You saved an x56 throttle from going in the trash. I tried everything: ferrite cores, separate powered USB hubs, and more. The advanced commands + delay really helped. 1 ghost issue in 30 min of game play.
I can say the same as @SweetJonnySauce. It kept another X56 from going to the landfill. What a terrible product… Thanks @Grambambuli!
I am having this very same issue with a CH Eclipse Yoke. If I remember well it started after Update 5.
I don’t know what else to do. I tested the joystick with DIView for more than 30 hours in total with not a single random click. It only happens using MSFS. Any lights please?
I also have it with other hardware (VKB/CH/MFG)if I choose too high resolution / quality settings. No joke. It is as if the CPU is overloaded and simply forgets some other functions.
If I set a bit from ultra/high to medium to relieve the main core, everything works again.
Had this have in older versions and now in su05 back
OMG that is crazy. You mean actual graphics quality? you decrease them a bit and ghost input stops?? I am struggling against this for more than a month now and it has been a deal breaker for my newly set home cockpit.
jupp… have also search the solution for weeks.
what also makes trouble double binds between keyboard and hotas
From what I am hearing from different issues and solutions could the issue be USB power maybe from the power supply? Or the GPU or processor throttling down from overheating? When I hear that the ghosting was minimized from turning down the graphics being turned down seems like it could be a throttle down issue due to overheating. GPU overheats, the box overheats and you get loss of processing power which can affect the USB. Curious, do any of you having issues not have water cooling? I ask because water cooling is a very good way to maintain the temperature down. I’m waiting for my Logitech g59 to arrive and I’ll post if I have any issues. I have water cooling for mb and processor and very little overheating issues. I play with max graphics as high as possible with temp as high as 45 deg max. I would like to have the GPU also cooled but you can’t always have what you want, but …
After switching from the USB ports at the back of my PC, to the ones at the front away from any electrical interference and whatnot I’ve had no issues with ghost inputs on the X56.
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.
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)
Luckily my gpu has a usb-c port. I connect my powered usb hub to my gpu’s usb-c port with a usb-c converter and puff. All ghosting issues are gone!
I tested it with VKB_JoyTester and it’s working perfect now. Maybe you can buy a pci usb card and use it instead of motherboard’s usb ports (just a suggestion, not tested). Main problem is living in motherboard’s usb ports.
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)
motherboard: msi gaming edge wifi x570
cpu: amd 5900x
Output values with x56 throttle only:
Powered usb hub connected to motherboard
5.190 V, 0.101A
Powered usb hub connected to gpu’s usb-c port
5.131V, 0.102A
reis benim laptop var monster x56 aldım ama sence sıkıntı çıkarmı ironik olansa satın aldıktan sonra aşırı güç çektiğini öğrendim
June, 2022. I seem to have fixed the issue by using the logitech x56 hotas program from the logitech website. Using the LED color/brightness setting, I set the LEDs to a very dim red, which was easier on my eyes, but also seems to use less power. I have not had ghost button issues after doing that… Yet.
