MOZA Racing unveiled two steering wheels at CES 2026 that rewrite the value proposition in their category. The KS Pro and CS Pro share the same 349 EUR price and the same 2.99" HD display — but target completely different disciplines. We examined both in detail based on reviews from BoxThisLap, Traxion, OC Racing and SimRacing-PC.de.
KS Pro: Butterfly for Formula and GT3
The 300mm butterfly wheel builds on the popular MOZA KS (249 EUR), adding the key feature it was missing — a 2.99" HD display (268×800 px, 60 Hz) for telemetry right in front of your eyes. The display works automatically via MOZA Pit House — it detects the simulator and shows tire pressures, lap times, fuel status without any configuration.
What Changed vs Original KS
- Display — completely new, original KS had none
- 5 rotary encoders (4× 12-position + 1× 8-position) — up from 3
- 2 thumb encoders — bronze, pressable as buttons
- Forged carbon paddles with Hall sensors — replacing aluminum from original
- Redesigned buttons — from soft-touch to snappier clicky design
Detailed Specifications
- Diameter: 300 mm (butterfly)
- Weight: ~1,500 g
- Front buttons: 10 RGB backlit (16.7M colors), short travel
- Rear buttons: 2 ("brake magic" style)
- Rotary encoders: 5 (4× 12-pos + 1× 8-pos) with RGB indicators
- Thumb encoders: 2 (bronze, pressable)
- Funky switches: 2× 7-way
- Shift paddles: Magnetic forged carbon, Hall sensors
- Clutch paddles: Dual-clutch forged carbon, analog
- Rev-light LEDs: 12 RGB top + 6 side flag lights
- Grip: TPE thermoplastic elastomer
- Front/back plate: Carbon fiber-reinforced composite
- QR: All-aluminum NRG-style with conductive slip ring
What Reviewers Say
Traxion rates the KS Pro as "almost unrivalled in terms of bang-for-buck in sim racing" finding "very little to fault Moza on here." The butterfly shape means controls are easily accessible without lifting hands off the grips.
OC Racing describes it as "rock solid in use" and an "easy recommendation" — "one of the most competitive GT-style wheels on the market right now."
Known issues: QR spring too stiff (BoxThisLap: "extremely stiff and hard to operate"). TPE grip initially slightly greasy (improves with use). Thumb encoders feel plasticky. No SimHub support — Pit House only.
CS Pro: Round All-Rounder for GT, Rally and Touring
The 325mm round wheel wrapped in hand-stitched microfiber leather with padded areas. It shares the display and price with KS Pro but targets different disciplines — GT, touring, rally, drift and trucking.
What Makes the CS Pro Special
- First round MOZA wheel with a display
- Fully modular design — button module detachable from rim (first for MOZA)
- Expandable to 6 paddles — pre-installed mounts + signal connectors, third pair sold separately (~50 EUR)
- Padded grip — microfiber leather with cushioning relieves finger pressure during long stints
What Reviewers Say
OC Racing: "For $330, the Moza CS Pro offers a tremendous amount of functionality" — "one of the round wheels I reach for most often." Magnetic paddles deliver "sharp, clicky engagement that feels satisfying in use."
SimRacing-PC.de: "An absolutely torsion-free driving experience" with "very good grip even during longer sessions."
Known issues: Most buttons unreachable during driving without releasing grip — the biggest complaint from Traxion. Screen brightness lags behind LED brightness. Higher weight creates inertia — not ideal for drifting.

How They Stack Up Against Competition
Fanatec ClubSport Formula V2.5 X (399 EUR) offers genuine Alcantara and a 5mm carbon front plate, but only a tiny 1" OLED display (128×64, monochrome). The KS Pro for 50 EUR less has a dramatically better 2.99" color display.
Simagic FX Pro (~879 EUR) is clearly the premium choice — larger 4.3" display, full carbon, 6 paddles, 21 LEDs. But at 2.5× the price. The KS Pro delivers roughly 70–80% of the experience at 40% of the cost.
Which One to Choose?
KS Pro — you race formula, GT3 and prototypes. You want maximum controls easily accessible while driving.
CS Pro — you prefer a round wheel for mixed disciplines. You value leather grip. You want the option of 6 paddles for GT cars. You race long stints and appreciate padding.
Both require a minimum 9 Nm wheelbase (MOZA R9 V3 or stronger) for the optimal experience.
