This is valid for the Schaltwerk and other sequencers I know.
The best resolution of the swing factor has the Linn /Akai MPC-Series.

I own a Jomox XBase 09, which has a nice swing parameter (though its 
resolution is not better than the Schaltwerk): you can draw notes 
forward(!) and backward. The "drawing forward" (the note comes earlier 
than the original beat) is a very urgent aspect for cool swing stuff.
The best swing solution I know can be found in emagic/apple Logic.

For Richie Hawtin I assume Linn MPC-60 (or successors).
