Building the driving or flying sim setup of your dreams? Moza has everything you need
Moza is packing serious simulation heat with its wheels, pedals, and new flight-sim gear
If you spend a long time perfecting your racing lines, or you’re looking to build the perfect flight sim setup of your dreams, I’m willing to bet you’ve got a hefty shopping list. This sort of gear doesn’t come cheap, and it’s not like you can try a lot of it out before you buy it. That can make knowing where to go pretty intimidating, especially since you can spend a lot of money on racing wheels, HOTAS joysticks, and still be met with cheaper build quality than you were hoping.
If any of this sounds relatable to you, you owe it to yourself to learn more about Moza, one of the finest brands around in the racing sim hardware market. We’ve been lucky enough to test a few of its wheelbases and bundles now, and it’s easy to say that this brand makes some of the best racing wheels for PC. There’s great build quality to be had with this brand’s gear, with force feedback and features that give big brands like Logitech and Thrustmaster a serious run for their money.
After an exciting 2024, it looks as though Moza is set for a massive year. Back in October, the brand partnered with well-known supercar maker Lamborghini for its latest wheel, and its mBooster Pedals have an intuitive design for some slick and realistic travel. As if Moza’s existing racing sim gear wasn’t enough, it’s taking things to the next level, literally. It’s stepping into the world of Flight Sim gear, which can arguably be an even trickier set of controllers to buy.
Read on, and you’ll hear more about what Moza can offer you in 2025.
Moza Racing X Automobili Lamborghini Squadra Corde Essenza SCV12
Lamborghini’s Essenza SCV12 is a hypercar that was designed to only ever be used on a track. It’s got 830 horsepower and a 6.5-litre V12 engine. It may well be one of, if not the most powerful car ever to utilize a naturally aspirated engine.
Now, although a lot of us may dream, there’s very little chance that we’ll get to sit behind that car’s wheel and take it for a spin, which is why Moza’s latest creation in collaboration with Lamborghini is so exciting. The Squadra Corde Essenza sim-racing wheel is a replica of that hypercar’s wheel, and it’s been designed to deliver realistic and super immersive experiences in whichever game you’re polishing your lap times in. Thanks to its inspiration, it has premium materials and a CNC-machined aluminium alloy frame. It even has real CAD models, a 4.3-inch touchscreen display, and 72 programmable inputs.
Moza Racing FSR2 Formula Wheel
Let’s say you’re the type of racing sim enthusiast who is more enchanted by the F1 world than the supercar, hypercar, or even sports car scene. If you want to get stuck into the F1 racing sim game, you really need a specific wheel to get the best out of your experience because there are so many specific design quirks geared at that type of machine. After all, you are simulating the F1 racing experience, so why not get something that will take you a step further to reality?
That’s where the Moza FSR2 Formula Wheel comes into play. Moza is the first manufacturer to integrate a customizable dashboard UI system into one of its F1 wheels. Turtle Beach and Thrustmaster have taken cracks at this, but those options don’t go nearly as in-depth as Moza has here. It’s built a community platform with designs that can be shared amongst fellow owners, which can be a massive benefit for highly customizable hardware like this (as seen with the Azeron Cyborg II). And all of it can be controlled with the ease of a 4.3-in touchscreen.
Under the hood, there’s a 4.3GHz quad-core processor, allowing for low-latency data rendering. Also featuring in the Formula Wheel is a 6-paddle design, which lets you quickly activate DRS and KERS systems, along with changing gears with shift and dual-clutch paddles.
Still hungry? How would you like dual 7-way switches to help you navigate through in-game menus, enhance control when racing, and improve your utility and quality of life at the flick of a stick?
Moza mBooster Active Pedals
If you’ve dabbled in racing sim gear before now, you’ll probably know that even if you find yourself an excellent wheelbase that offers solid feedback and a wheel that’s both fun to use and feels premium - you can still be tripped over at the last hurdle. Pedals are such an overlooked aspect of racing sim gear, and getting ones that can keep up with today’s premium controllers is a whole other dilemma.
Moza’s mBooster Active Pedals are here to put that to bed. They’re versatile, first of all, so you won’t need to worry about forking out more cash for an accurate set of pedals for one type of racing sim. These have a quick-change functionality, meaning pedals can be swapped out effortlessly via their software.
Gone are the traditional pedal design that uses fragile springs and motors with ball screws. The mBooster system allows for much more accurate travel, with a much more precise allowance for adjustment as well - with a 15-bit angle sensor. All-in-all, these pedals have a dual 200kg pressure sensor system which means any feedback that’s sent through them to your foot is going to feel like the real deal.
Of course, mounting something this feature-rich can also be a hassle sometimes, especially since a lot of manufacturers will have varying designs and dimensions. The inverted mounting system here means it’s easily customizable, meaning getting into your games will be free of additional headaches.
Moza Flight Sim Gear
Branching out into a new market isn’t always easy, but the R&D over at Moza is clearly proving its worth. A partnership with someone who knows the skies you’re exploring is always useful too, and the team at Moza has linked up with experienced pilots to ensure they’re on the right track.
Already, Moza has taken off with the AB9 base controller that features 9Nm Dual Servo Motors. Alongside that, there’s a MH16 joystick that’s perfect for flight simulators, and an MA3X sidestick. Already confirmed for 2025 is a flight throttle panel, which will arrive in March, and it sounds like it’s making a play for the most in-depth flight sim setups.
Just like the brand’s racing gear, there’s excellent build quality and premium materials in play for the throttle panel. For starters, its Joystick uses a Hall Sensor, meaning it’ll last forever without encountering stick drift. This magnetic tech extends to the 15-bit magnetic encoder as well, which makes for extremely precise throttle control, which you really do need for simulating smooth takeoff and landing. Aluminium Alloy Grips make it feel like a high-end bit of kit, and I suspect pilots who have been invited to collaborate and give their feedback will have said this is a must. It can be a real immersion breaker otherwise.
Moza’s pedigree in racing gear offers something else too, built-in vibration feedback - not commonly found in even the most expensive flight sim gear. This will provide really tactile gaming experiences for folks who have lost some aerodynamics on their flight or have pushed the throttle that little bit too ambitiously. If you want more or less of it, you can even customize it in Moza’s Cockpit software, where you can also program the throttle panel’s 27 switches.
If all of this sounds like the right way of developing enthusiast-grade simulation gear, you may want to know more. To keep up with Moza's progress, and to find all of its wares, here are a few links for you to follow.
