Following a recent major update to Elite Dangerous, some commanders have reported experiencing ghost inputs on their X56 HOTAS controllers. These unintended activations, such as unexpected heatsink deployment or boost triggers, occur roughly once every hour and have not been linked to hardware faults or connection issues, as users have tested multiple USB ports and powered hubs. This problem affects players relying on precise HOTAS controls, potentially disrupting gameplay and combat performance. The community is monitoring the situation as it may require a patch to resolve.

  • Issue reported specifically on X56 HOTAS controllers.
  • Problem persists across different USB connections and powered hubs.
