The X-55 does have a lot of buttons, rotaries, toggles & hats, but equally Elite Dangerous has a lot of commands to map. The main concept behind my controller design is to maximise the use of the common (& easy to reach) keys on the X-55 HOTAS. More detailed description of the layout and design are below the reference map. I will also cover a few additional settings to get the most out of your setup.

Saitek X-55 Rhino Software Profile (*.pr0).Elite Dangerous Key Mapping Profile (*.binds).If you only have the X-55 Rhino and do not have the TrackIR, they can be used independently (although I would highly recommend picking one up for a more immersive experience!). For advanced users, it can provide a base to customise further to suit your own preferences, or merge some more functionality/ideas to your own rig which you are already accustomed to! It can provide a complete ready-to-go setup for beginners not wanting to bother setting everything up themselves, but still need something better than the default. Slowly changing as the game expanded, but also being refined to give the best priority and access to all the important commands with minimal movement of your hands. The profile you see today evolved out of 100s of iterations and 100s of hours of gameplay.

This is my latest & greatest version of my profile transplanted over from the Frontier Forums. Incorporating TrackIR [head tracking technology.
