Supported Devices
Magic Box ships with pre-configured profiles for two popular HOTAS systems. Anything else with a USB joystick interface works through the generic USB HID driver — bring your own bindings via the Web UI.
Pre-configured (ready to fly)
Section titled “Pre-configured (ready to fly)”| Device | What’s included |
|---|---|
| Logitech X56 HOTAS System | Joystick + throttle + (optional) rudder |
| WinWing Orion 2 / F-16 | Joystick + throttle + rudder pedals |
To use one:
- Plug the device into a USB port on Magic Box.
- Power up. Wait ~30 seconds for boot.
- Connect to the Magic Box Web UI from your phone or laptop.
- Open Profiles.
- Pick the profile matching your gear.
- Open Channels and wiggle every stick, button and switch — confirm the live preview moves where you expect.
That’s it. Once your gear is plugged in, the Web UI’s Devices screen lists every USB device Magic Box sees — joystick, throttle, rudder, throttle base — with a live Connected / Offline status next to each.
Generic USB joysticks
Section titled “Generic USB joysticks”Anything that shows up as a USB joystick on a PC will work on Magic Box. You’ll just create your own profile through the Web UI — name your axes, buttons, switches and knobs, and assign them to RC channels. No file editing.
A detailed walkthrough is coming in a follow-up doc — we’re capturing screenshots from the v2.4 build before publishing it.

Diagnostic check
Section titled “Diagnostic check”Device not listed? Plug it in and check the Web UI:
- Open Devices — your joystick should appear in the list with a Connected badge.
- Tap on it to open the device view. The Elements section shows live values for every axis, button, and switch already bound.
- Wiggle the stick, press buttons, flick switches — values should update in real time.
If the device appears as Connected and live values move, Magic Box sees it; you can bind it. If it doesn’t show up at all, the device isn’t being detected.
If you build a profile that works, share it on the SilverFox RC Facebook group and we’ll add it to the pre-configured list.
