Logitech X56 Ghost Inputs

[brettt777]

Has anyone come up with a definitive, 100% guaranteed, never happen again cure for the ghost inputs on the Logitech X56 HOTAS? I have tried all the usual remedies that you hear everywhere; put the system on a powered USB hub, make sure it's plugged into a port that is directly on the MB, make sure it's on a 3.X port, make sure it's on a 2.X port, put the throttle on one port and the stick on another port, i.e. no hub, use it without the Logitech software, use it only with the Logitech software, etc. I've tried them all. And while one or two of them may have cut the frequency of the ghost inputs down some, none of them cured it completely. 

Now, I have since upgraded to a fantastic Winwing Orion 2 HOTAS which I love. But I still have my X56 and I am wondering if there may still be hope for it or should I just try to get rid of it cheap. Very cheap.

So, who's got a sure fire remedy for the X56?

I moved also to winwing orion hotas 1 two years ago. In my rig, the solution for ghost input was turning off the lights of the two devices.....voilá problem solved.... Just in my rig, don't know if this was a cause-effect solution, but never I have ghost inputs again.

But before flying with winwing hotas, never returned to my rhino x56

LEDs always OFF in the Logitech software is a requirement, to avoid any issues.
Better make sure as well to connect it through a self-powered USB HUB.

Do the following for both the stick and throttle:

My X-56 throttle has jittering in throtle and rotaries, as usual per Saitek products (also had them in X-52 Pro) but I solved that with Joystick Gremlin, following this tutorial:
