Winctrl Announces Force Feedback Yoke for Professional Simmers
By Trevor Bair · · 2 min read
Winctrl (formerly Winwing) has unveiled its new Force Feedback Yoke, featuring magnetic resistance and 100mm of travel. The yoke is designed for airliners and GA aircraft, with adjustable tension and a built-in trim wheel.
Winctrl, the hardware brand formerly known as Winwing, has announced its first force feedback yoke, aiming to bring realistic control loading to desktop simmers. The yoke uses magnetic resistance to simulate aerodynamic forces, with 100mm of pitch travel and 90 degrees of roll. It includes a motorized trim wheel that moves in sync with autopilot inputs, and a range of programmable buttons and hat switches.
The yoke is constructed from metal and high-grade plastics, with a clamping system compatible with most desks. It connects via USB-C and includes software for adjusting force curves, dead zones, and button mapping. Winctrl claims the force feedback system can simulate stall buffet, control surface blowback, and flutter, enhancing realism for aircraft like the PMDG 737 and Fenix A320.
Pricing is set at $799.99, with pre-orders opening on October 15 and shipping expected in Q1 2027. The yoke will be compatible with MSFS 2020/2024, X-Plane 12, and Prepar3D. Winctrl also announced a partnership with A2A Simulations to provide optimized force profiles for their Accu-Sim aircraft, including the Comanche 250.
