Both wheels are direct-drive, PC-only affairs with a standard quick release. The VRS DirectForce Pro and Moza R21 Wheel Base have identical specs, but that's where the similarities end. Both claim 20Nm (A) and 21Nm (B) torque respectively, but no one really cares about those numbers until you put them to the test.
I've seen users report issues with both wheels, but for different reasons. The VRS DirectForce Pro owners seem to have it easier, mostly complaining about game compatibility and a slightly steeper learning curve. It's like they say: "You get what you pay for." But let's be real – some users are still stuck on the "not user-friendly out of the box" excuse after months of use. Users are reporting notchiness in Moza R21 Wheel Base, especially when there's no steering wheel attached. I've been around the block a few times; it sounds like a design flaw to me. But hey, maybe they just got lucky with their QC? The real horror story here is dealing with customer support. I've heard tales of users being told to replace PCBs for issues that shouldn't be happening in the first place. The Moza R21 Wheel Base has its fans, but I'm not convinced. When you're dropping premium cash on a product, you expect it to perform flawlessly – at least for a few months. The lack of reliability here is what keeps me up at night.
For the price point, I'd say the Moza R21 Wheel Base is a bit too much of a gamble. The VRS DirectForce Pro might not be perfect, but it's more affordable and seems to have fewer issues with game compatibility. If you're a serious sim racer on a budget, the VRS DirectForce Pro is your best bet – even if it means sacrificing some performance.
For those willing to splurge, the Moza R21 Wheel Base might be worth a shot. But for now, I'd say it's more of a "buy at your own risk" proposition. If you can stomach the potential headaches and want the best possible experience, then by all means, go for it.
