Any changes in build quality vs saitek x56/ logitech x56?

Apparently not. Very little time on my X56 (the "upgraded" gray model) and the twist/yaw on the stick has went out as well as the LED's. Less than 6 months of use out of it and very little use during that time even. Either spend more on a VKB or VirPil or spend less on a T16000m and have to likely replace it every so often. But I'd not pay this much to have to replace these on a regular basis.

Ive heard that the early models were prone to the throttle wires breaking. Has this been rectified?

I bought this in January of 2019. It is currently the beginning of May 2021 and I have not had any sort of wiring problems with this hotas. The only problem I had was trying to use them with a USB 2.0 unpowered hub, which is actually specifically outlined in the manual that you should use a powered hub. Something along the lines of your motherboard trying to save power or it isn't able to supply enough power to both through an unpowered hub which results in the hotas gives you ghost inputs. I just plugged them straight into my motherboard after that and have not had a problem with it since.

Had the g x56 for 5 months, now experiencing ghosting input in the throttle quadrant. any fixes for this. i have heard a powered usb hub fixes it?

I would advise getting an EXTERNAL powered USB 3.0 Hub. If you're already having power issues onboard, then adding a hub to the motherboard isn't going to help much.

Why are you asking 400.00 when msrp is 249.00

Its another casualty and lingering effect of the pandemic. Everyone went indoors, MS flight sim comes out, and the government hands out free money. This put huge strains on supply for a lof stuff, including HOTAS controls. That said, if youre spending $400 american dollars, you might as well spend 400 euros for the Virpil MongooseCM3 throttle. I did, and while I am staunch advocate for Logitech (their products rarely fail me and when they do, their customer service has been amazing) this is of those specialty items better sourced from a company thay only builds gear for simulators, like Virpil or alternatively VKB.
