X-65F VS X-55 RHINO

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Having used every single HOTAS by Saitek to date i thought it would be nice to compare my favorite X-65F with the newest X-55 Rhino. One very important thing you need to know is that the X-65F is primarily made out of metal while the X-55 Rhino is made out of hard plastic. That allows for a much sturdier flight stick and a much smaller base in the case of the X-65F.

In terms of design the flight stick of the X-65F is almost identical to that of the X-55 Rhino.

The dual throttle of the X-65F is also of a much higher quality compared to the one of the X-55 Rhino but unfortunately lacks the extra toggle switches and dials (it does however have 2 HAT switches instead of push buttons) and the throttle controls are much stiffer even at the lowest setting.
