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, rumble strips, 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\u2014a real asset in both single-seaters and GT cars.<\/p>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<div class=\"srg-clear\"><\/div>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<h2>Short buttons, sturdy encoders: carefully designed ergonomics<\/h2>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<figure class=\"srg-float-l\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mozaracing.com\/product\/ks-steering-wheel\/?ref=YHIgBwRB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\"><img width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/124a6433-ca88-4e52-a1a2-639ac3877b2e.jpgv1717853471\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/124a6433-ca88-4e52-a1a2-639ac3877b2e.jpgv1717853471 1000w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/124a6433-ca88-4e52-a1a2-639ac3877b2e-300x300.jpgv1717853471 300w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/124a6433-ca88-4e52-a1a2-639ac3877b2e-150x150.jpgv1717853471 150w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/124a6433-ca88-4e52-a1a2-639ac3877b2e-768x768.jpgv1717853471 768w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/124a6433-ca88-4e52-a1a2-639ac3877b2e-980x980.jpgv1717853471 980w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/124a6433-ca88-4e52-a1a2-639ac3877b2e-480x480.jpgv1717853471 480w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/124a6433-ca88-4e52-a1a2-639ac3877b2e-600x600.jpgv1717853471 600w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/124a6433-ca88-4e52-a1a2-639ac3877b2e-100x100.jpgv1717853471 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s 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 hard. 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: they have a very short travel and virtually no resistance.<\/p>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<div class=\"srg-clear\"><\/div>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<h2>Workmanship and comfort during long sessions<\/h2>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<figure class=\"srg-float-r\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mozaracing.com\/product\/ks-steering-wheel\/?ref=YHIgBwRB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\"><img width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/0551ca5b-428b-454f-9a31-0c8a12f10780.jpgv1717853471\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/0551ca5b-428b-454f-9a31-0c8a12f10780.jpgv1717853471 1000w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/0551ca5b-428b-454f-9a31-0c8a12f10780-300x300.jpgv1717853471 300w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/0551ca5b-428b-454f-9a31-0c8a12f10780-150x150.jpgv1717853471 150w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/0551ca5b-428b-454f-9a31-0c8a12f10780-768x768.jpgv1717853471 768w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/0551ca5b-428b-454f-9a31-0c8a12f10780-980x980.jpgv1717853471 980w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/0551ca5b-428b-454f-9a31-0c8a12f10780-480x480.jpgv1717853471 480w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/0551ca5b-428b-454f-9a31-0c8a12f10780-600x600.jpgv1717853471 600w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/0551ca5b-428b-454f-9a31-0c8a12f10780-100x100.jpgv1717853471 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<p>The carbon-fiber-reinforced composite shell ensures good rigidity, particularly thanks to the low, closed grips that don\u2019t 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\u2019re wearing gloves or riding bare-handed, and we didn\u2019t experience any fatigue even after long rides. Something to keep in mind: when riding bare-handed for extended periods, the material can become a bit sticky. The Quick Release, which is more compact than on previous models, doesn\u2019t budge an inch once in place, but its tight fit makes removal a little trickier.<\/p>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<div class=\"srg-clear\"><\/div>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<h2>Compatibility and Ideal Profile<\/h2>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<figure class=\"srg-float-l\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mozaracing.com\/product\/ks-steering-wheel\/?ref=YHIgBwRB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\"><img width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/c8881b26-c8de-49b9-ac2e-4444b789757c.jpgv1717853470\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/c8881b26-c8de-49b9-ac2e-4444b789757c.jpgv1717853470 1000w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/c8881b26-c8de-49b9-ac2e-4444b789757c-300x300.jpgv1717853470 300w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/c8881b26-c8de-49b9-ac2e-4444b789757c-150x150.jpgv1717853470 150w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/c8881b26-c8de-49b9-ac2e-4444b789757c-768x768.jpgv1717853470 768w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/c8881b26-c8de-49b9-ac2e-4444b789757c-980x980.jpgv1717853470 980w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/c8881b26-c8de-49b9-ac2e-4444b789757c-480x480.jpgv1717853470 480w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/c8881b26-c8de-49b9-ac2e-4444b789757c-600x600.jpgv1717853470 600w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/c8881b26-c8de-49b9-ac2e-4444b789757c-100x100.jpgv1717853470 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<p>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\u2014with enough controls for long races and serious multiplayer\u2014without moving up to a higher-end model, this is a solid choice. Those with larger hands may simply find the paddle shifters a bit tight.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"srg-faq\"><h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2><details class=\"srg-q\" open><summary>Which sim racing wheel should you choose if you're just starting out?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Aim for a steering wheel and pedal set that\u2019s compatible with your platform, even if it means upgrading later. A belt- or gear-driven steering wheel is sufficient to start with; an affordable direct-drive model (such as the CSL DD) offers a much better feel if your budget allows. Our tests, rated on a scale of 10, help you compare options without making a mistake.<\/div><\/details><details class=\"srg-q\"><summary>Direct drive or belt drive: What's the difference?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">A direct-drive base connects the steering wheel directly to the motor: the force feedback is more powerful, more precise, and more detailed than that of a belt- or gear-driven system. It\u2019s more immersive but more expensive, and it requires a sturdier stand. For beginners, a belt-driven base remains a good choice.<\/div><\/details><details class=\"srg-q\"><summary>Does this hardware work on PS5 and Xbox?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">It depends on the specific model, not the brand: with Fanatec, for example, PlayStation compatibility comes from the base, and Xbox compatibility comes from the steering wheel. Always check the console compatibility listed on each product page before buying, because a steering wheel designed for PC won't necessarily work on a console.<\/div><\/details><details class=\"srg-q\"><summary>Do you need a cockpit to get off to a good start?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Not necessarily, but a stable mount is essential: even the best steering wheel is useless if it wobbles on a table. A foldable mount is enough to get started; a rigid cockpit becomes really useful once you switch to a powerful direct-drive base.<\/div><\/details><details class=\"srg-q\"><summary>How much should I budget for a good setup?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Expect to spend about 300 to 500 \u20ac for a decent starter set of a flywheel and pedal set, plus a mount. Affordable direct-drive systems start at a slightly higher price but last for years. It all depends on your platform and your goals.<\/div><\/details><\/div><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\n    \"@context\": \"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\n    \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n    \"mainEntity\": [\n        {\n            \"@type\": \"Question\",\n            \"name\": \"Quel volant sim racing choisir pour d\\u00e9buter ?\",\n            \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n                \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n                \"text\": \"Visez un ensemble volant et p\\u00e9dalier coh\\u00e9rent avec votre plateforme, quitte \\u00e0 monter en gamme ensuite.
