Hardware & Technical upgrading from x55 to x56?

will I have to manually rebind my custom keybinding again? or can it carry over somehow since it's 99% the same hotas?

Just a guess from looking at the binding file.

Yes, unless you edit the file itself.
Each entry has a field for the device and one for the key.
E.g.

<UpThrustButton><Primary Device="SaitekX52Pro" Key="Joy_24" /><Secondary Device="Keyboard" Key="Key_Numpad_8" /></UpThrustButton>



You should be able to search and replace the device. And to remap the Keys if they are different.
It is just a text file.

It goes without saying that you use a copy and change the file name and Preset name in the file.
And the location on a PC is:

C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Bindings
 
eh so your guess is no?

how about anyone here who did such upgrade from 55 to 56? what's your experience?

No, my guess is yes.
Sorry for the confusion. The above is how I think you would do it.
Download a copy of XML notepad from Microsoft and have a look at your bindings. That might give you an idea if you are comfortable with editing the file.
Remember it is only a text file and if you work on a copy and have a backup before you start. You can always go back to where you were before.
XML notepad is free and has the usual find and replace functions. The way the file is displayed is better than using Notepad.
If you go ahead PM me if you have problems.
