Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel (A) and Moza R12 Wheel Base (B) are two Direct Drive wheels with impressive specs. Both have a high torque output, 11Nm (A) vs 12Nm (B), which is excellent for sim racers. They also share the same drive type and compatibility across platforms. However, there's a catch: Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel has PS5 and Xbox compatibility, while Moza R12 only supports PC.
I've seen firsthand the issues plaguing these wheels. Users are reporting problems with the wheel flickering and turning off after extended use, which is a major concern for sim racers who rely on their equipment to perform at its best. The quick release mechanism, touted as a convenience feature, has also been known to break or malfunction, causing frustration when trying to troubleshoot the issue. I've witnessed users struggling with Moza's R12, experiencing FFB drops and overheating issues, which can be disastrous during long racing sessions. Dealing with customer support for these problems is a nightmare, as evidenced by users being passed around between contractors and never actually speaking to an expert.
The Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel isn't immune to criticism either. Users have reported issues with the pedal's USB cable design, which can cause bending or damage if not handled carefully. The wheel base size is smaller than expected, but this isn't a major concern for most users. On the other hand, Moza R12's lack of compatibility with PS5 and Xbox might be a deal-breaker for some.
After considering all the factors, I'd recommend the Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel (A) for sim racers who need high-end performance and versatility across multiple platforms. While it comes at a premium price point, its robust build quality and compatibility make it a worthwhile investment. Moza R12's issues with overheating, FFB drops, and customer support are too significant to ignore, especially considering its higher price compared to the budget-friendly Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel.
For those on a tighter budget or looking for a more affordable entry point into Direct Drive technology, I'd suggest Moza R12. However, be aware of the potential pitfalls and weigh them against your needs as a sim racer. In any case, neither wheel is perfect, but Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel edges out Moza R12 in terms of overall reliability and performance.
