X56 Stops Sleep Mode.

[MoToad]

Had the Hotas for several months now. Love the hefty feel of it, hate the bad layout for 50% of the switches. First had stutter and ghost problems plugged into multi USB ports. Plugged directly into PC and got rid of it. But it caused loss of sleep mode. All Power management suggestions have failed as the allow check box is already checked under all the USBs. The 2 X56 USB devices do not have a power management box. So bought a powered USB multi port box and got the ghosts back and still no sleep mode. So, back to the PC plug in and changing the power button to use as sleep mode. One thing I found this morning that I guess I spaced on (because if it ain't broke, don't fix it) was bios update. PC is now about a year old and there was a lot of BIOS numbers between my version and the updates. (Asrock Z790 PC) So did the update and no change. So I can live with all  the annoyances of the setup for now but gotta say I am close to packing it in. Looking at both the VKB and Winwing but will probably go with the VKB because of the twist option which I still use. Plus the Winwing, well WOW! Their website is horrible. Actually went thru the shopping cart process to get a final price and had what seemed to be unfixable problems with them not accepting my address. Think I finally got past the  only to be told only the throttle was available. Just too sketchy. VKB it will be and hopefully I can lie to the prospective new owner of the X56 to get a couple of hundred bucks for it.

Go for VKB. I got a Gunfighter Ultimate in Dec. 24.  I `m happy that I did it. It`s a really good one and I`m totally enjoying using it.  The software is hard to handle, but calibration is the only step you must take. All other set up is done in DCS.

Let me know about the results.
