MOZA KS Steering WheelvsSimagic GT NEO Formula Wheel

The Bottom Line

The MOZA KS and Simagic GT NEO represent a fierce battle for budget-friendly GT wheel supremacy, offering 300mm layouts that punch well above their price tags. While MOZA focuses on quiet, plug-and-play simplicity within its ecosystem, Simagic targets enthusiasts wanting premium materials and open-market compatibility.

Real-World Flaws to Consider

The MOZA KS suffers from annoying button rattle when driving over harsh kerbs under high force feedback. Meanwhile, early batches of the Simagic GT NEO had rapidly degrading grips, and some users report creaking from its carbon composite body under heavy loads.

Pro Tip

If you drive outside the Simagic ecosystem, the GT NEO's Maglink system allows direct USB connection to your PC. The MOZA KS requires MOZA's proprietary hub if you want to use it on non-MOZA wheelbases, adding extra cost.

Why choose MOZA KS Steering Wheel

7.8
Overall Score

  • Quiet magnetic shifters feature pre-installed silencer pads, making them perfect for late-night sessions without waking the household.
  • Rock-solid composite body exhibits zero flex even when paired with high-torque wheelbases like the 12Nm R12.
  • Comfortable TPE grips offer a soft, ergonomic hold, though they can feel slightly cheap and benefit from wearing gloves.

Why choose Simagic GT NEO Formula Wheel

8.8
Overall Score

  • Massive input array features 22 buttons and multiple rotary encoders, giving you unparalleled control over complex car settings.
  • Maglink compatibility allows seamless USB connection to any PC wheelbase, bypassing ecosystem lock-in entirely.
  • Premium carbon composite build looks and feels like a high-end formula rim, despite its highly competitive price point.

The Verdict

The MOZA KS is a highly capable, quiet, and rigid entry-level wheel if you are already locked into the MOZA ecosystem. However, the Simagic GT NEO is the superior hardware package, offering double the inputs, open-platform compatibility via Maglink, and a far more premium aesthetic.
