The Bottom Line

We are comparing two entirely different accessories: one is a premium cosmetic upgrade to customize your wheel's look, while the other is a functional safety device. Your choice depends entirely on whether you want to personalize your Asetek steering wheel or add a physical safety cutoff to your MOZA rig.

Watch out

Triggering the MOZA E-Stop often forces a full restart of games like Assetto Corsa Competizione because they do not re-detect the wheelbase on the fly. Additionally, using the RJ9 connection means you still have to reach behind the wheelbase to turn it back on manually.

Why choose Aluminum Button Color Kit

6.5
Overall Score
  • Significantly improves tactile feel, grip, and build quality over standard plastic caps.
  • Allows you to "de-orange" and customize your Asetek steering wheel for a premium look.

Why choose MOZA E-Stop Switch

7.5
Overall Score
  • Provides a convenient remote power-off switch so you do not have to reach behind your rig.
  • Offers solid aluminum alloy construction that delivers peace of mind when running high-torque wheelbases.

The Verdict

If you own an Asetek wheel and want to replace the cheap-feeling plastic caps with premium metal, the Aluminum Button Color Kit is a luxury upgrade, though VR users should skip it. For MOZA owners running powerful wheelbases, the E-Stop Switch is a highly practical safety addition despite its short cables and minor software re-connection quirks.
