Couldn't get it set up properly some of the screws weren't threaded correctly for the desk clamp I had to return it. I might reorder it, everything felt heavy duty. Maybe I just got unlucky.

Works nice but Intermittently cuts out, power button works funky and refuses to connect via Bluetooth app.
Have gone through moza customer service and done all updates/calibrations. Same issues.
Steering wheel is tiny, super cheap and plastic-y.
This thing works well but has a lot of small issues, would've bought fanatec if they weren't such a horrid company to do business with.

Perfect entry into serious sim setups

For years, I resisted the urge to add a wheel to my setup. Controllers are good enough, I told myself…but then this bundle from MOZA came along, offering many advanced features at a price point that wasn’t totally crazy. I figured I’d give it a spin, and see if the hype about a wheel and pedal setups was true.
For this enthusiast bundle, MOZA has centered on their R5 direct drive force feedback base. Accompanying the base are the SR-P lite pedals and the ES steering wheel. Everything is well packed in the box, along with a basic getting started guide, the power supply, a cable to connect the pedals to the base, some screws, bolts, and wrenches, and a USB cable to connect to the PC. Getting the clamp attached to the wheel base just involves 4 bolts. Mount the clamp on the desk, connect the cables, line up the wheel and just push it into the base, and you are ready to power up and get started.
The R5 base provides plenty of strength and is compatible with all of the current MOZA wheels. It’s compact, but still offers great fidelity and enough power that you can feel the road.
The wheel is a pretty typical “GT” style wheel. The leather wrap feels nice in the hands, and the button layout is intuitively laid out with a D pad and traditional ABXY buttons, along with several other buttons and the shift paddles. It all feels very high quality. If I had any complaint, it would be that the buttons are not backlit. After a while you get used to where they are, but even a basic single color backlight would have been handy here.
The pedals work well for what they are. The base is not very heavy and you may need to mount it to something to keep it from moving during spirited driving depending on the floor it’s on. These aren’t the most advanced pedals out there, but for getting started in more serious simulator racing, they certainly do the job.
MOZA’s software is pretty good, with tons of options that have built in descriptions to help figure out what everything does. Calibrating the pedals and centering the wheel are all easy, and then you are pretty much ready to go!
Using a direct drive base, wheel, and pedals is a revelation. Now I finally understand what the hype is all about. Controllers are a sad substitute for a true wheel and pedal setup. Ripping though the gears with the shift paddles, feeling the road tug and push the car, the force of an impact, all delivered with high fidelity through the wheel, is an entirely different level of immersion. The shift indicators lighting up and then flicking the shift paddles feels like a real race car. I found myself just driving around for the fun of it in Forza Horizon 5, almost feeling like I was really driving a real car, just enjoying the scenery and feeling connected to the car. The R5 base provides strong force feedback, and while there are even stronger bases out there, this is plenty for most gamers. It’s kind of the perfect blend of size and strength.
One little quirk, and this is not the fault of MOZA, is that to get the system to work in Forza Horizon 5 requires loading a special config file and setting up a few things. MOZA provides easy to follow step by step instructions, and it was working in just a few minutes.
Overall, this setup is a great balance of features, performance, and price. If you are moving up from a basic wheel to a direct drive, or wanting to spend once on a setup that will have plenty of features and staying power, this is one you should consider.

Gear Drive to Direct Drive - Worth the Jump!

Let me cut to the chase - if you're still grinding away on a Logitech G923 or similar gear-driven wheel and wondering if direct drive is worth the hype, the Moza R5 bundle answers that question with a resounding yes. After spending years troubleshooting everything from servers to gaming setups, I've learned that sometimes the jump from "good enough" to "genuinely good" transforms your entire experience.
First impressions matter, and the R5 doesn't disappoint. The aviation-grade aluminum wheelbase feels like it means business, not like the plastic toys many of us started with. Setup was refreshingly straightforward: connect a few cables, install the Pit House software, and you're racing. No driver headaches, no compatibility nightmares. The ES steering wheel clicks into place with a satisfying mechanical precision that screams quality, though I'll admit the synthetic leather isn't quite as premium as what you'd find on higher-end wheels. At this price point, I'm more interested in function than luxury.
The star of the show is that 5.5Nm direct drive motor. In plain English? It's the difference between playing a video game and feeling like you're actually driving. Every bump, every loss of traction, every subtle change in the road surface translates through the wheel with zero delay. Coming from gear or belt-driven systems, the silence is almost eerie. No more grinding gears drowning out your engine sounds. The force feedback has enough strength to give your arms a workout in longer races, but it won't rip the wheel from your hands like some of the 15Nm+ monsters out there. For most of us, it's the sweet spot between immersion and usability.
Here's where the Moza ecosystem shines. That quick-release system isn't just a gimmick. It opens up a world of wheel options as your skills (and budget) grow. The Pit House software might not win any UI design awards, but it gets the job done with enough customization options to dial in your preferred feel across different sims. Want more rotation for drifting? Less force feedback for endurance races? It's all there, and more importantly, it actually works without requiring a computer science degree to figure out.
Bottom line: if you're ready to graduate from entry-level gear but aren't prepared to drop $1,000+ on a high-end setup, the R5 bundle hits the sweet spot. Is it perfect? No - those pedals will eventually need upgrading, and if you're a console gamer, you'll need to look elsewhere. But for PC sim racers who want to experience what direct drive is all about without breaking the bank, this is your ticket.
