R5

Went from a G923 to an R5 and wishes they had at least gone with an R9, so another upgrade is coming.

Recently got the R5 and loves it, finding the FFB at 100% already a workout and questioning whether higher torque bases are overhyped.

Runs their R5 at 80% to keep headroom on the 28 cm ES rim and is very happy with it, saying anything bigger should go on an R9.

Has owned both lower and higher torque bases and currently uses an R5 for sim drifting, but prefers the heavier steering of stronger bases.

Their R5 had zero functional FFB out of the box in a Forza Horizon title: the wheel is detected and calibrates but goes silent the moment a session loads.

Owns an R5 and loves it, saying the bundle price is a great deal and the cockpit is necessary or the chair rotates.

Bought the R5 bundle with sequential shifter and handbrake, but finds its force feedback a bit much for their desk and monitor arms.

Spent about 500 euros on an R5 bundle and a 100 euro DIY rig and is having a blast.

Had the R5 bundle and calls it so worth it as a first wheel, recommending Moza's open wheel mod and brake mod.

Just set up their R5 coming from a G29 and calls it an awesome bit of kit.

Does full drifting on their R5, feels absolutely everything and finds 5.5 Nm plenty, though not perfect for the heaviest drifters.

Has tried Fanatec 8 Nm and owns an R5, finding them about equivalent, and runs the R5 at about 80%, which is plenty.

After years on a G29, got an R5 and has upgraded everything since; the belt-to-DD jump keeps them satisfied, paired with Simjack Pro pedals.

Started with the R5 and found it great, but in ACC needed more, moving to an R12 at 80% FFB where clipping is gone.

First wheel R5 had a not-good first week, with a lot of reading and config testing before it finally felt good for Assetto Corsa.

Didn't get their first iRacing podium until they got the R5, which they describe as an overnight improvement.

Got their R5 and was quickly going in Automobilista 2 after a few tweaks to controls and FFB, and also loves rFactor 2.

Came from a Logitech wheel used for years and found the R5 a great improvement and basically plug and play.

Uses an R5 with the performance kit on a GT Omega Prime Lite and feels they might be outgrowing its 5.5 Nm.

Got the R5 over the winter and says it has real kick, with full FFB able to rattle you and iRacing needing it dialed back to avoid clipping.

Moved from a desk-clamped G920 to an R5 combo, calling it their first taste of real force feedback.

Upgraded from a G29 to an R5, loves it and added a KS wheel.

Their R5 bundle's FFB and smoothness are great, but the ES wheel drops out every time they use it, losing buttons and lights.

Had the same wheel dropout on an R5 bundle despite exhaustive troubleshooting, and returned it to Micro Center for an R9 V2 and GS V2.

Gets loud, annoying vibration through the R5 and stand on cold tires in iRacing that turning off LFE and wheel slip doesn't fix.

Their R5, bought two months ago, intermittently restarts and loses FFB when sudden FFB spikes occur, leading them to consider an RMA.

Finds their R5 night and day better than a G920, and gradually upgraded the pedals and then the base to a second-hand R12.

Absolutely loves their R5 with an Alien Mods load cell brake for the SR-P Lite pedals, reaching about 3k iRating and not feeling held back by the hardware.

Finds the R5 a good but pretty weak base, and an R9 gives more detail and feels more like a real car.

Bought an R5 last year with Alien Mods load cell and a 13-inch wheel, and finds it fine for rally and road sims, though they upgraded to another ecosystem anyway.

Got the R5 bundle for Christmas and is having a blast, but the brake pedal Ethernet cable is defective so they are returning it.

Their brand new R5's wheel quick release mechanism got stuck after a day of play.

Recommends upgrading the R5 bundle's pedals first inside the ecosystem, having been burned by Simsonn pedals with poor software.

Says the risk of wanting to upgrade the R5 six months later is extremely high, and its bundle pedals aren't worth it.

Their R5 makes slides extremely hard to catch, and they feel the Moza force feedback was a waste.

As an R5 owner they love it over Logitech, but Moza nickel-and-dimes for things that should be in the bundle.

Bought the R5 as a first wheel; harder than a controller at first but definitely worth it.

Was very happy with their R5 until its force feedback weakened and the wheel started feeling sticky.

Just got the R5 and would buy an R9 instead, since heavier wheels sap its force.

The R5 was a big step up from the G29 but ran warmer than they liked.

Got the R5 for $400 after a G29; a definite upgrade in quality and sound.

Their second-hand R5's wheel loosens over time and makes a grinding noise.

Pit House crashes and freezes their PC whenever the R5 goes above 3.9 Nm.

Used a Moza R5 as their main setup for years; without Trueforce it now feels like driving blind next to the RS50.

Their Moza R5 is night and day better than their G923; they can't go back.

Their Moza R5 on a wheel stand is more than good enough for casual rally racing.

Upgraded from a G29 to the Moza R5 a week ago and was amazed: cars are far easier to drive, mostly oval racing in iRacing.

Hates their R5 bundle: support refused a return and Pit House runs so poorly it causes CPU bottlenecks.

Finds the MOZA R5 bundle good, with most MOZA wheels compatible for later upgrades; just added the KS.

Went from a G29 to a MOZA R5 and says what a difference; a good upgrade.

Switched from a T300RS GT to a MOZA R5 and found it worth it: a huge increase in detail and better at catching spins.

Returned their MOZA R5 because it overheated.

Had issues with the MOZA R5 too and sent it back for a Logitech Pro wheel, which has had no issues so far.

Their MOZA R5 has really bad oscillation above 100 mph in iRacing, so they had to add damping.

Was happy with their MOZA R5 and could feel bumps fine, but had to run it at 100%, where force feedback clipped; the R12 V2 at 9 Nm feels night and day better.

Had a blast with the MOZA R5 bundle but felt it was lacking, so is upgrading to an R12.

Moved from a Fanatec CSL Elite to the MOZA R5 bundle as their first direct-drive wheel and realised what they had been missing; after MOZA's new firmware it runs cooler for hours at 100% and feels smoother and stronger.

Has the MOZA R5 and finds it absolutely fantastic even at 5.5 Nm, with Pit House working well.

Going from a G29 to the R5 bundle brought an immediate improvement: much better feel for what the car is doing, making the limit easier to find and slides easier to catch.

Upgraded from a Thrustmaster T248 to the R5 last year. Finds the base completely silent and much better at fast forces, which makes catching oversteer easier, though desk mounting passes vibration to the floor. The bundled brake pedal is very light until a cheap brake performance kit is added.

“The brake pedal on the moza bundles is extremely light, about the same as the throttle really, so it's very hard to build any muscle memory to be able to be competitive in racing sims.”

Got a used R5 as their first base for $295. Found its 5 Nm far stronger than expected, like a car whose power steering has cut out, and it shakes their desk over grass; lap by lap they started to feel understeer through it.

Has run a MOZA R5 on an NLR GTRacer 2.0 for over a year and is happy, seeing no need to upgrade.
