Simagic uses true servo and higher resolution 18bit encoders even with the Alpha mini and even though officially rated at 10nm, it's been measured at 13nm by Iracing staff. This is brushless motor and 12 bit encoders which is why it is notchy.
Fact of the matter is the 15 bit vs 18 bit vs 22 bit resolution is overblown. I’ve tried both side by side and the lower 15bit “lack of depth” is not discernible. It’s a bit like audiophiles claiming they can hear the difference when really they can’t.
It's unfortunate you weren't able to tell the difference but it was significant for me and many others. You do sound like you are happy with less and that's great and better equipment isn't for you. The more disturbing issue is when a company lies or exaggerates it's product descriptions as moza does. It's latest R16 v2 is advertised as 18 bit but a teardown reveals 15 bit. Should this be acceptable as well?
Great review. Which base would you choose in terms of FF feel, Moza r12 or Simagic Alpha Mini? I heard that Simagic has a more sophisticated FF and Moza feels notchy.
Hello ! Congratulations on the videos you have posted, they are incredible. Question: between the Moza R12 and the Alpha Mini, which one would you choose?
Do you think this would be enough for my first sim rig with a 350mm wheel for older cars? I dont care too much for gt3 racing or modern f1. Just enough nm for that size wheel for a dtm e30 or something similar
Nm ratings are difficult to compare just by going off manufacturers claims. Moza publishes peak ratings. Simagic sustained. So it's not quite correct to say R12 is more powerful than Alpha mini. There needs to be a standard verifiable test for these
