Another thing to note is that many of those other wheel and pedal bundles have specific models that will work with consoles, and the Moza Racing gear will only work on PC. Depending on what you play, that could be a deal breaker. 9toToys’ Take

A - It couldn’t be simpler. The R5 Wheel Base lets you simply plug in and play. Q - Is there a recommended GT Omega Product for the MOZA R5 Wheel Base? As well as offering a huge range of functionality, the R5 wheelbase is built to last and is reliable throughout even the longest endurance races. The aviation grade aluminium casing is incredibly durable and houses an intelligent temperature control system which keeps all the important components cool and protected. The base and the steering wheel are connected through a military-grade conductive slip ring with a life of 5 million revolutions. This unique patented design feature grants extremely high stability and durability while still allowing for high-speed rotation. Their all steel construction is strong and sturdy, they can be used on carpet or solid floors, and overall feel is good. But the brake is a let down even at this price point. Other position based pedals such as the CSL Pedals from Fanatec and even the pedals included with Logitech’s G923 do a good job at providing the driver with progressive resistance throughout the brake pedal stroke. This allows the driver to better modulate their inputs threshold and trail brake. Resulting in faster and more consistent lap times. All three pedals utilize hall effect sensors. Input is position based rather than force or pressure based which is to be expected for the price. The brake pedal has a completely linear and non-progressive feel. This results in little sensation of how much pressure is being applied.Thanks to their innovations, MOZA Racing has revolutionised sim racing, creating premium hardware and software for professional or home use. From individual components to the full ecosystem, everything is designed to be dependable in quality and endurance. As for mounting to a rig of some description, it’s a rather standard affair. Props again to MOZA for supplying mounting hardware in the box. However, due to the R5 base’s shorter stature, the mounting holes are now closer together. This may bring up compatibility issues with some pre-drilled mounting plates. The remarkably solid desk mount for the MOZA R5.

A - The MOZA R5 wheel base can be used with a table clamp for those of you still having to use desk mounted equipment. Q - Is the MOZA R5 wheel base compatible with gaming consoles?

Depending on what sim-racing titles you are playing, there may be some additional setup required. To get up and running in Forza Horizon 5, for example, some configuration files need to be manually added to the game folders before the wheel will be recognized inside of the game. Considering how easy it is to get up and running with the Logitech gear, it’s a bit of a bummer to have these extra steps on the Moza setup. There’s almost not as much else to say when it comes to the overall feeling, as the R5 does pretty much what it says on the tin, which is a good thing. Paying a premium for more torque sometimes doesn’t appear to be the best call for some users, but perhaps having a touch of headroom would be good to enable some smaller, yet stronger sensations.

One large difference between the existing MOZA range and the R5 bundle is that, rather than pedals requiring a separate USB input to your PC, the SRP Lites plug directly into the base via CAT 5 cable. This simplifies it all down to just one USB connection rather than two.

The ES Steering Wheel is manufactured from premium materials, including microfibre leather for the grips and aluminium alloy for the frame. Chosen for their durable properties, these materials enhance the longevity of the steering wheel. The MOZA Racing SR-P Lite Pedal set is a 2 Pedal Set featuring both the accelerator and brake pedal. The MOZA R5 makes for a very interesting comparison to the Fanatec CSL DD and GT DD Pro bundles. As with other MOZA wheel bases, the MOZA R5 does not have officially licensed console support. The GT DD Pro remains the cheapest DD wheel base for PlayStation users. The R5 wheelbase is the smallest, most affordable option from Moza Racing. Additionally, it offers R9, R16, and R21. Those numbers all represent the peak torque output of each direct-drive wheelbase.A performance focused powerhouse, the R9 produces up to 9Nm of Torque, beating out its closest competitors such as Fanatec and Thrustmaster. This streamlined and sleek direct drive wheel base is compact, powerful and built with high quality materials. Looking to fine tune your outputs when racing? This bundle is fully supported by the MOZA Pit House software which allows you to make precision adjustments to get the most out of your wheel and pedals. The MOZA Racing ES Steering wheel is only available as part of the R5 bundle and is designed to maximise the cost to performance of this affordable sim racing bundle. A similar experience just a few years ago would have cost well over double the asking price for this, which is remarkable.
