Moza FSR Formula Wheel Review

Final thoughts on the FSR Wheel from the guys at Moza. Out of the box, this wheel presents as a professionally finished product. Fit and finish is very good with not defects found. Constructed from a 5mm thick carbon front plated with an aluminum casement around the back. The carbon plate is one continuous piece that runs through the FSR’s perforated leather grips. The leather is glued to the plastic grips. I could find no issues with the glue up job done here. The 5 rotaries on the front of the wheel have good detent spacing and resistance. It made it easy for me to turn the knob to the desired number of clicks. Without over or under shooting my intended result. Which can be an issue when using rotories with closer detent spacing and lighter resistance. There are 2 analog sticks on the FSR that provide a total of 5 different button assignments. I would like to see 7 way sticks used here, as seen on some other wheels available today. The buttons have LEDs in them. You can change the colors of each individual button. There are 9 different colors available. The buttons lack any real tactile feedback when pressed other than the stop at the end of the press. But they did function without any issues during my time using the FSR. The thumb rotories are much like the front ones. In that, they have good detent spacing and the proper amount of resistance. They also have a button press feature that the front ones do not. The most noticeable feature on this FSR wheel is the 4.3 inch diagonal digital dash. I found it to be easy to read with a 800×400 resolution There are several different dashes to chose from, but they are not configurable by the user. You get what you get here. They will display any telemetry that the game you are using has available. You can also move through different dashes on the fly to see different information. Out back there are a set of magnetic shifters and spring analog paddles. All are contactless hall units. The shifters have good tactile feedback when actioned. They are also on the loud side, but some rubber dampers are provided with the wheel to help mitigate this. Analog paddles have a spring tension that I found to be appropriate for my taste. Not too light and not too heavy. Of course, this is subjective and others may not feel the same. The quick release hub out back has a new pinout for the power connection to Moza’s various wheelbases. Adding 6 more spring loaded pins to the 5 that were already there. During the look inside, we found a professional looking circuit board with a clean lay out. The wheel has a diameter of 280mm. This because Moza is marketing the FSR as their formula wheel solution. I did not have any issues with this wheel during the time I drove with it. Everything worked as designed. Overall, Moza has produced a solid wheel here. At a price point that seems reasonable considering you get a nice dash function included.
