Versus: Logitech G923 vs MOZA R5 

Next up: Lamborghini VS Lada

im looking to upgrade from a shitty logitech g29 "calibration issue for no reason edition" wheel and this review helped quite a lot - thank you

After trying a few direct drive wheelbases, I couldn't make up my mind and I bought the G923 on Black Friday for less than 200€ to use on my PC. It's a great introduction to sim racing and provides a good value at this price point. It does feel like a toy but I can hook it up to my desk in seconds without worrying about my monitors shaking around when I play. Now I can take my time to see what I need for a better experience and so far, it would definitely be a nicer seating solution instead of a better wheelbase, surprisingly! If I get hooked into the hobby I will definitely upgrade to a 12+ Nm direct drive wheel base but that's also at least 5 times the budget of the G923, and a cockpit with better pedals seem to be a better upgrade path so far. Moza R5 felt like a decent upgrade but it was already 3 times more expensive than Logitech and I would need an upgrade later on anyway. I would feel bad spending more and not be 100% happy with the experience. Also the resale possibility seems to be in favor of Logitech thanks to its console compatibility and the brand.

It’s still mind boggling to me that the R5 is considered entry level by most. I’m new to DD wheels but the R5, to me at least, sounds more at home in the lower mid range. Unless DD become the standard for entry level equipment. Granted, the R5 doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of the higher end Moza wheelbases, but I feel like the new R3 would be a much fairer comparison for the G923, as they both have console compatibility and their torque numbers are closer to each other. Moza’s price point for the R3 also makes me think that the G923 would have slightly more wiggle room to shine. In all, the presentation was good and it was a good watch. Definitely gives you stuff to think about both models.

Thanks for another competent comparison. The feeling for competitive approach with R5 is a personal perception probably. From what I know there is the option to use the Ras1ution 2 adapter for using Moza on PlayStation and Switch. For the Xbox it was working but currently seems to have some issue. It adds quite some costs, but in comparison to other licensed direct drive bases (namely GT DD Pro) it is probably still ok. I haven’t personally tested this kind of adapter (hinthint), but still wanted to mention that there are ways. But as you say: For entering this world of sim driving/racing, a 2nd hand Logitech is a viable option. You will be able to flip it afterwards, and get a big share of your money back. This way you can either exit the topic or upgrade to something different. (For me it was the latter.)

Muchas gracias por la info

Dropped a sub great video keep them up man!

I'm afraid the 923 is in a very different class from the Moza R5. The R5 is way above the 923 in every way. Every sim racer will tell you that, not just me. You have to use the R5 to understand that. I had a G29 and the move up to the R5 was night and day period!

actualy its pretty simple. if you are a casual gamer that plays 'casual' games like forza horizon,need for speed ect the G23 is fine. BUT if you want in the future play games like assetto corsa or iRacing and also things like forza motorsport you want that R5 its comparing a toy vs the real deal so if you want to play the sim racers save up the money, its cheaper then upgrading your g23 later on

Hello friend... What would you recommend me to buy... I like games such as: eurotruck simulator, the bus, simfarmer and so on... Should I buy Logitech g23 29 or a moza r5…? Thanks for your answer friend 😊

Hey, I am currently saving up for a G923 which is around 1500 in my region, going through reviews I am understanding that Moza r5 gives a more emmersed experience but it is 2500. Should I be patient and wait 4 months more of saving or should I stick with the G923?

Hi. I am upset, I have Moza 5 and I really like ETS2 ATS2, I ordered the inverted mount and Moza Truck handlebar, I am upset. In the video you said that the fitback will be wrong, now I don't know what to do. 😢Good luck to you my friend.

OK I got it, MOZA is by far superior although you need a fortune to drive sim with 2 pedals only?

My problem is just: I like to drive in ETS2 with my mates but I also like to be competitive and achieve results in F1 24 (and ACC in the future). 🤣

To be fair I did switch from moza R5 and T-GT2 to a g923, mainly because it's the only wheel that has the right curb feedback in GT7, not even TGT2 has it (maybe because of the Trueforce?)

I have never had a steering wheel, I am a beginner, I just want to have the most immersive and realistic experience possible, I play beamng and assetto corsa, which steering wheel do you recommend?

ik ben te lui om het in het engels te typen want je bent nederlands haha. ik ben dus aan het kijken over te stappen van de g29 naar een volledig moza ecosysteem. ik had de r12 voor ogen maar uhh... 2.4 nm is al zo sterk? pfoeh... kan ik om een snel adviesje vragen misschien? het enige wat ik ermee ga spelen zijn euro truck en american truck simulator met dat moza stuur. emergency stop switch komt er sws. welke wheel base kan ik het beste halen?

Logitech crazy for wanting 1g for their wheel base

Moza the best!

here's my opinions logitech wheels is just for KIDS and moza is for real MAN 🤣🤣

is the moza bigger?

Does your r5 return to center on its own like a spring? Even when i have the spring setting at 0 it does that
