What We Do
Schuwirth designs and manufactures control hardware dedicated to glider and sailplane simulation.
Every component is engineered to translate pilot input into precise, predictable control — without approximation or compromise.
We don’t build generic peripherals. We build instruments and Joysticks that feel right from the first thermal.

Materials & Methods
Built for authenticity, not adaptation
Most simulation hardware is adapted from powered flight or general gaming use.
Gliding is different, and we design accordingly.
Our control geometry is inspired by real sailplanes. On selected products, mechanical detents are implemented only where they reflect real glider behavior. Sensors deliver stable, repeatable readings across the full travel, and modular architectures are designed to evolve alongside simulators.
The result is hardware that behaves like a glider control system, not a game controller.

Engineering first. Always.
Every Schuwirth product is developed with a single objective: control fidelity.
High-resolution axis tracking ensures smooth, progressive inputs. Rigid mechanical assemblies are engineered for long service life, and each component is individually tested before shipping. A direct feedback loop with pilots and customers allows real-world use, suggestions, and issues to flow straight into design iterations and firmware updates.

Amazing piece of kit. Great addition to any other glider sim fliers rig. Plinio is very communicative and eager to ensure the quadrant fills your needs and wants. Highly recommended – great way to have peripherals closer to the real thing, to practice with on the off season.

Nach mehrfacher Benutzung und Testflügen, muss ich sagen das ist die beste Investition seit langem, das Segelflugzeug lässt sich damit sehr gut und innovativ steuern. Die Anordnung der Achsen für Airbrakes, Flaps und Trimachse ist gut umgesetzt. Die Griffe sind gross genug und schön griffig. Der ganze Quadrant kommt aus dem 3D-Drucker und ist hochwertig zusammengebaut und verarbeitet. Lieferzeit entsprach den Vorhersagen. Der Quadrant war sehr gut verpackt und kam dadurch unbeschädigt an. Kann Ihn für Segelfliegersims nur empfehlen.

The joystick is nice quality. Very happy with the color and the stitching color that I requested. I like that the attachment knob and the extension is black instead of raw aluminum as in the picture. That does look much better. The customer service is great. The seller is very good at reaching out. Actually gave me his personal Snapchat account to contact him with any questions or concerns. I will probably buy the glider quadrant from him in the future. I did get charged an extra fee by customs since it came from France. Not the sellers fault at all.

Design und Qualität sind hervorragend, um im Simulator ein möglichst realistisches Handling zu ermöglichen. Plinio ist ein sehr angenehmer Kommunikator und hat immer sehr schnell geantwortet. Es gibt auch verschiedene Varianten (siehe auch andere Kommentare) und er bietet auf Wunsch auch individuelle Anpassungen vornehmen. Ggf. hole ich mir da noch eine weitere Variante.

This is a 1:1 replica flight control quadrant specific to sailplanes (AKA gliders), for flaps, air brake and trim, with 3 additional programmable buttons (cable release, gear up/down, etc). Build quality appears very good, control actions are smooth and precise. Provisions are there for hard-mounting to your cockpit. Plinio provided excellent communication throughout ordering and shipping, and delivered on time. Highly recommend this craftsman and entrepreneur.
