X-56 Joystick Palm Rest Riser

It always seemed to me that the X-56 joystick was designed for bigger hands - the top buttons are just out of reach when my hand is comfortably sitting on the palm rest.  I can lift my whole grip to reach to top buttons, but figured there is a more comfortable way to achieve this.

This design raises the hand rest by 5mm into a more comfortable position.  It is designed to hold itself in place, but is easy to remove, e.g., if you need to RMA it back to Logitech (X-56 owners will know…)  For a more “permanent” solution, a small piece of double-sided tape will suffice.

Printing requires no supports and should be printed with the upper side facing down.

Happy to make different sizes to suit individual needs.

1. Place hand on grip in a comfortable/natural position on the X-56 joystick.
2. Measure the gap between the top side of your middle finger and the underside of the trigger.
3. Ask/download the appropriate model.

Version History

V1 - First attempt to match the existing hand rest.  I think I prefer this one
V2 - Slightly larger overhang closest to the wrist for greater comfort.

Some sanding/rounding over/smoothing of the edge where the heel of your hand rests may improve your experience.
