The MOZA ES 280mm Formula Wheel Mod offers an ultra-budget entry point into open-wheel racing by modifying an existing rim. Meanwhile, the MOZA KS Steering Wheel is a dedicated, feature-rich GT wheel designed for drivers who need immediate access to on-the-fly adjustments.
The ES Mod has slippery TPU grips that many users wrap with tennis tape, and swapping it requires a tedious six-bolt process. The KS Wheel suffers from button rattle over harsh kerbs, and its quiet magnetic shifters lack a sharp, tactile snap.
The ES Formula Mod is not a standalone steering wheel. It requires you to already own the MOZA ES steering wheel to bolt the mod plate onto.
If you are on a tight budget and already own the ES wheel, the ES Formula Mod is a clever, lightweight upgrade that boosts force feedback feel. However, for a complete, rigid racing setup with plenty of inputs, the MOZA KS is the clear step up.
