MOZA CS V2P Steering WheelvsMOZA ESX Steering Wheel for PC & Xbox

The Bottom Line

The MOZA CS V2P is a full-sized, premium rim built for serious PC racers, while the MOZA ESX is a budget-friendly, plastic-heavy gateway to Xbox compatibility. Choosing between them is a choice between realistic automotive scale and console-friendly versatility.

Pro Tip

The 330mm MOZA CS V2P is relatively heavy. If you are running a 5Nm base like the R5, this weight will noticeably dampen fine force feedback details.

Critical Warning

The MOZA ESX uses a thin ISF PU grip that feels rubbery and can cause hand fatigue during long sessions. Additionally, some users report missed shifts and paddle detection issues after recent firmware updates.

Overall Rating
  • Premium Materials: Features a rigid aviation-grade aluminum frame, forged carbon fiber paddles, and comfortable microfiber leather.
  • Standard 70mm PCD: Allows you to easily swap the rim for aftermarket options while keeping the high-quality button plate.
  • Tactile Shifters: The magnetic shifters offer an incredibly crisp, positive click that feels like a real race car.

Why choose MOZA ESX Steering Wheel for PC & Xbox

7.0
Overall Rating
  • Xbox Compatibility: The only option here that unlocks the Moza ecosystem for Xbox console racers.
  • Rim Mod Ecosystem: Highly versatile design allows you to swap the stock rim for Moza's Formula or 12-inch round wheel mods.
  • Unbeatable Price: At nearly half the price of the CS V2P, it is a highly accessible entry point.

The Verdict

If you are a PC racer looking for a realistic, high-quality 330mm wheel that feels like a real car, the MOZA CS V2P is worth every penny. However, if you need Xbox compatibility or are on a tight budget, the MOZA ESX gets you into the ecosystem, even if you have to tolerate its toy-like plastic build.
