The Bottom Line

We are looking at two completely different hardware upgrades: the Asetek Aluminum Button Color Kit for tactile wheel customization, and the MOZA Flight Sim Z-Axis Module for adding flight controls to your rig. Your choice depends entirely on whether you want to refine your existing Asetek steering wheel or expand your racing setup into a hybrid flight cockpit.

Watch out

Installing the MOZA Z-Axis Module can be tricky and time-consuming due to difficult internal cable and connector alignment. Furthermore, using this module as an extension will reduce the perceived force feedback strength of your wheel base.

Note

The Asetek kit is strictly locked to the Asetek SimSports steering wheel ecosystem and does not include matching aluminum thumb rotaries. Meanwhile, the MOZA module offers universal ecosystem compatibility, though some third-party grips require physical modifications to connect.

Why choose Aluminum Button Color Kit

7.0
Utility

  • Significantly improves the tactile feel, grip, and overall build quality of your wheel compared to standard plastic caps.
  • Provides a premium look that allows you to fully customize or "de-orange" your Asetek steering wheel.

Why choose MOZA Flight Sim Z-Axis Module

8.0
Utility

  • Adds a twist and yaw axis, making it an excellent solution for users who cannot fit rudder pedals on their sim racing rig.
  • Includes a physical locking mechanism that easily disables the yaw axis so you can use it purely as a 97mm extension.

The Verdict

The $89.00 Asetek Aluminum Button Color Kit delivers a premium tactile upgrade, though the price is hard to justify for a purely cosmetic change, especially if you drive in VR. If you want to expand your rig's capabilities, the $79.00 MOZA Flight Sim Z-Axis Module offers genuine functional utility for hybrid racers, despite its tricky installation process.
