A few weeks ago, I reviewed one of the most versatile steering wheels on the market. The Moza Racing CS Pro Steering Wheel is an all-round wheel packed with an impressive number of features. Today, it’s time to take a look at its Formula-style counterpart: the Moza Racing KS Pro Steering Wheel .
Just like with the CS, Moza has redesigned the original KS to include more functions. The most noticeable change is the screen, but there are also improvements in the overall build quality and, I assume (since I never had the chance to review the original KS), some smaller refinements that aren’t immediately visible.
Before diving into the details, as I’ve been saying lately, the maturity of the market has led many brands to release excellent products at very competitive prices. I believe all the reviews I’ve done over the past ten years have pointed in that direction, and this trend has only intensified recently. These are solid products that no one will go wrong with.
Packaging
Moza follows its usual trend with packaging that is functional and practical. It is not overloaded with colors or images; it is simply elegant and sufficient to protect the product inside.
In this case, as with the recent Moza Racing R21 Ultra , a protective bag for the steering wheel is included, placed in the usual black foam. Also, there is a batch of stickers to use with the steering wheel and customize to your taste.
Features
The Formula-style wheel has a diameter of 300 mm. It’s the ideal size for both Formula cars and GT vehicles that require greater precision in inputs. In my opinion, it’s less comfortable than its sibling, the CS Pro, although I admit that’s a somewhat subjective impression.
The intention of the steering wheel is to mimic what a modern GT3 wheel is. This is somehow contrary to the rounded rim, which are gradually phasing out in the higher touring categories.
We have the already‑mentioned 3‑inch screen, a customizable UI and light system, a dual‑clutch (shifter and analog) magnetic forged‑carbon paddle system, and no fewer than five colored indicator rotary encoders.
Those are the main highlights, without overlooking the fact that we also have buttons whose lighting and color can be changed, 2 funky switches, three more push‑rotaries below the screen, and a new carbon‑fiber‑reinforced composite as the front and rear structure of the whole assembly, reminiscent of other brands. The frame is aluminium.
Possibilities
Fewer options than in the previous Moza Racing CS Pro Steering Wheel . This is a more focused formula steering wheel, and it clearly follows that principle.
The main difference from the CS Pro is that it’s not possible to add two extra paddles. There’s no available compartment for them, so you’ll have to manage with “only” the dual clutch paddle set.
I forgot to mention that the hub has 2 buttons on the back, like Mercedes’ Brake Magic, in case you want to pull a Hamilton in Azerbaijan or simply use them more effectively for other purposes.
The wheel has so many configuration options and inputs to fulfill any simracer need.
It can be used with other bases and manufacturers through the Moza Universal Hub.
Screen and lights
The wheel has a lighting system that is divided into 10 and 6 LEDs. There are 10 lights for RPM and shifting, and 6 (split into 3 and 3 on each side) for the flags that may be shown on track.
The screen is 2.99 inches with a refresh rate of 60 Hz and a resolution of 268×800 pixels. It can be customized and shared through Pit House, allowing you to use layouts created by other users or design your own.
Installation
The rim uses Moza’s aluminium quick release. I have to say that the QR spring feels extremely stiff and hard to operate. It has improved compared to the first day, but it is still somewhat tedious to release and connect every time I have to adjust a position on the cockpit.
For the wheel to work at full capacity, you need to install Moza Pit House, although you can use it without the screen functions without launching the software. However, it is a delight to see live telemetry from almost all major simulators so clearly on the display without having to do anything. It is one of the aspects I liked the most. There is no need to configure anything special to get it working.
Configuration
Through Moza Pit House you can configure everything related to the wheel. For some users it will be important to customize the display, for others the RPM lights. For me it was important to configure the dual clutch to test the rim with formula cars. From here you can do it easily by changing its behavior from button to axis and setting a percentage for each paddle.
Once set up, you can reach 100% by pulling both paddles and see whether the configured bite point helps you to perfect your starts.
Testing
It has been very pleasant to use. You need to stay focused when driving cars that require precise and quick inputs. This type of steering wheel is the perfect match for those powerful race cars.
The grip feels excellent and highly durable. Apparently, these TPE rubbers should maintain their original appearance for many years to come.
As for the buttons and rotaries, every single one has excellent feedback so you can clearly tell when they have been actuated. However, the funky switches move to the next parameter every 2 steps instead of with each individual step. That is the only odd thing I have noticed. I assume it is something that can be fixed in software with future firmware updates.
I really like having basic telemetry directly on the screen. If the car provides live tyre pressures, that data also appears on the default layout. It is nice to be able to quickly locate certain parameters without having to change layouts for each title.
Final thoughts
We have reached a point of maturity where the major manufacturers offer quality products at competitive prices. Obviously, even within the same brand, the higher the price, the higher the quality. You will notice this quality jump in the design, pre‑testing, QA, software, materials, and components.
The truth is that each user has very different expectations for each product. This wheel costs 350 euros, and barely 2 years ago we would not have been able to buy it for less than 500. Moza Racing guarantees very good quality standards relative to the price of its mid‑range products. It is no surprise that the company has built up a large base of satisfied customers over the years.
This wheel is yet another example of that policy of offering products that manage to meet many users’ expectations at a very reasonable price. It is a highly recommended product for those who enjoy driving Formula cars and GT3 cars.
