MOZA CS Pro Steering WheelvsMOZA ESX Steering Wheel for PC & Xbox

The Bottom Line

The MOZA CS Pro Steering Wheel and the MOZA ESX Steering Wheel for PC & Xbox target completely different tiers of sim racers, separating premium PC immersion from budget-friendly console compatibility. While one brings a built-in display and full-sized diameter, the other focuses on maximum button utility and Xbox integration at a fraction of the cost.

Watch out

The MOZA CS Pro built-in display is locked to MOZA Pit House software, meaning you cannot use native SimHub dashboards. Additionally, some users report quality control issues on the CS Pro grips, including poorly glued microfiber leather and raised stitching that pokes your fingers.

Note

If you play on Xbox, the RPM LED shift lights on the MOZA ESX will not function at all. However, you can easily upgrade the ESX within its ecosystem using MOZA's official 12-inch round or Formula wheel mods.

Why choose MOZA CS Pro Steering Wheel

8.5
Overall Score
  • Larger 325 mm diameter provides a much more realistic and natural leverage for GT and road car simulation compared to the smaller 280 mm rim.
  • Built-in HD display delivers integrated telemetry data directly on your wheel, a feature entirely absent on the budget model.

Why choose MOZA ESX Steering Wheel for PC & Xbox

6.5
Overall Score
  • Double the button count with 22 physical inputs compared to just 10 on the CS Pro, allowing for extensive control mapping.

The Verdict

If you want a premium, full-sized wheel with an integrated telemetry screen and can live with Pit House software limitations, the $329.00 MOZA CS Pro is the superior choice. However, if you are racing on Xbox or need maximum button inputs on a tight budget, the $128.66 MOZA ESX offers incredible utility despite its harder polyurethane grips and lack of rotary encoders.
