Know before you buy
No, the MOZA R9 V3 is designed exclusively for PC use. It connects via USB and requires a Windows-based system to function.
You can do both. The R9 V3 is compact enough to be used with a desktop clamp, but it also features standard mounting holes on the bottom, making it fully compatible with most dedicated sim racing rigs.
The 9 Nm of torque provides significantly more detail and strength than belt-driven systems. Because it is a direct-drive motor, you get instant, unfiltered force feedback that feels much more realistic and responsive.
While you can use the MOZA Pit House software on your PC for deep configuration, you can also adjust settings on the fly using the MOZA APP Cloud Control on your smartphone.
The 21-bit encoder provides extremely high resolution, allowing the wheelbase to track your steering inputs with microscopic precision. This results in smoother, more accurate control, especially during subtle steering corrections.
The R9 V3 features a built-in smart temperature control system designed to monitor internal heat levels. This ensures the unit maintains consistent performance and force feedback output even during extended periods of heavy use.
