Introduction

If your Logitech G X56 HOTAS Throttle produces buzzing sounds, crackling feedback, intermittent input, or no response from the throttle axis—even while other components appear to function correctly—the internal potentiometers may be worn out or damaged. Potentiometers are mechanical sensors that translate physical movement into electrical signals, and over time they can degrade due to dust, wear, or internal failure. This guide will show you how to access and replace the throttle potentiometers to restore smooth and accurate input control.
