A Formula steering wheel designed for the MOZA ecosystem

The KS is MOZA’s entry-level Formula steering wheel, offered here as a standalone version—that is, just the wheel itself—to be mounted on a MOZA force feedback base (or a third-party base using the Hub Kit). With a 300 mm flat design, GT style, and modern single-seater look, it’s clearly aimed at drivers who want a serious steering wheel without breaking the bank. Right from the start, the in-house Quick Release system does the job: you can clip it on and off in seconds, with absolutely no side-to-side play once locked in place.

On the track, a compact design that signals a strong comeback

The first surprise, once you have the controller in hand: with its 300 mm diameter and featherweight design at about 1,220 g, the KS amplifies the sensations of the base model. During our first laps in Assetto Corsa and then in F1, we quickly felt the need to slightly lower the force feedback gain compared to a larger steering wheel. Track details, curbs, and front-end loss of traction are conveyed more vividly and responsively. Once the settings are dialed in, corner entry becomes precise, and the small diameter makes quick corrections easier—a real asset in both single-seaters and GT cars.

Short buttons, sturdy encoders: carefully designed ergonomics

That’s where the KS really shines. The 10 RGB buttons have an ultra-short travel distance (0.25 mm) and firm tactile feedback: every press feels crisp, and the raised edges prevent accidental presses while braking. The three 12-position rotary controls offer a deliberately notched resistance, perfect for adjusting TC, ABS, or mapping without taking your eyes off the track, and the two thumb encoders fall right under your fingers. The magnetic shift paddles, made of aluminum with damping pads, click with satisfying precision and minimal noise. The only downside is that the clutch paddles located below them feel like an afterthought: very short travel, virtually no resistance.

Workmanship and comfort during long sessions

The carbon-fiber-reinforced composite shell provides good rigidity, thanks in particular to the low, closed grips that don’t flex. That said, this plastic feels slightly less premium than the aluminum used by some competitors in the same price range. The TPE grips offer excellent grip, whether you’re wearing gloves or riding bare-handed, and we didn’t experience any fatigue even after long sessions. Something to keep in mind: when riding bare-handed for extended periods, the material can get a bit sticky. The Quick Release, which is more compact than on previous models, doesn’t budge an inch once in place, but its tight fit makes removal a little trickier.

Compatibility and Ideal Profile

The KS is primarily designed for PC use. It mounts on all non-wireless MOZA bases and can be connected to a third-party base via the MOZA Hub Kit. The 70 programmable inputs and the Pit House software offer a great deal of configuration flexibility. For a PC sim racer looking for a well-designed Formula or GT steering wheel—with enough controls for long races and serious multiplayer—without having to step up to a higher-end model, this is a solid choice. Those with larger hands may simply find the paddle shifters a bit tight.
