I fly, and I got tired of raising the gear with a keyboard shortcut. The cheap hardware rattles and drops out at the worst moment; the professional stuff is priced for airlines. So I started building the parts I wanted for my own cockpit.
Everything is machined, assembled and tested here before it ships — small batches, one at a time. If something doesn't work, you're talking to the person who built it.
Setup is one app and one cable: plug in over USB-C, start the free companion app, and it finds your running simulator on its own. No drivers, no config files, no calibration.

A note on the app. Windows will warn you that the publisher is unknown, because the app isn't code-signed yet — a certificate currently costs more per year than this workshop would make back on it.
