On paper, both wheels are direct drive beasts with impressive torque ratings. The Moza R9 V2 boasts a respectable 9Nm, while the Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel crushes it with an 11Nm rating. Compatibility-wise, they're neck-and-neck – PC compatibility is standard for both, but the Logitech wheel takes the lead by also supporting PS5 and Xbox.
I've seen users complaining about reliability issues with both wheels, but the Moza R9 V2 has had its fair share of problems. Some owners reported defects in early batches, which were eventually replaced by retailers. However, it seems like Moza has ironed out most of these kinks – some users have been running theirs for months without issue. The big problem here is that customer service can be a nightmare to deal with. I've heard tales of long hold times and unhelpful support agents. On the other hand, users are reporting issues with the Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel's FFB (Force Feedback) system – it can get loud and ratty, causing problems in certain games. And then there's the issue of overheating. Some users have reported wheels shutting down after prolonged use due to excessive heat buildup. I've also heard stories about wheel bases being broken or defective out of the box, with owners facing a frustrating return process. But here's the thing: some owners are just as happy with their Moza R9 V2s as they are with their Logitech G Pro Racing Wheels. They're reporting solid performance and no issues – it's almost suspicious how smooth things have been for these users. Still, I've seen enough problems to make me cautious.
For the money, I'd recommend the Moza R9 V2. It may not be as premium as the Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel, but it's more affordable and seems to have ironed out most of its early reliability issues. If you're on a budget or just starting out in sim racing, this is a good value for money. However, if you're willing to shell out top dollar for the best performance possible, the Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel might be worth it – despite its FFB and overheating issues. Just be prepared for a potentially frustrating experience with customer service. Ultimately, it comes down to how much you're willing to pay and what your priorities are. If solid performance is more important than premium features, go with the Moza R9 V2. But if you want the absolute best – FFB-wise and torque-wise – be prepared for a potentially pricey headache.
