Beneath the surface, these two wheels are more similar than you'd think. Both have direct drive, with the Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel boasting 11Nm torque and the Moza R16 Wheel Base pushing out a respectable 16Nm - but at what cost? The compatibility is where things get interesting: only the Logitech has PS5 support.
I've seen firsthand the struggles with the Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel's reliability. Users are reporting issues with the wheel base, including a faulty quick release and what can only be described as 'wheel-flicker.' And let me tell you - dealing with Logitech support is a nightmare. One user had to deal with contractors in the Philippines who seemed more interested in upselling than resolving the issue.
The Moza R16 Wheel Base isn't immune to problems either. I've witnessed users complaining about faulty bases, wireless transmitter issues, and even strange stick design flaws that cause an unusual amount of failures on V2-style wheels. And don't even get me started on the power cycling "fix" - it's a Band-Aid solution at best.
The big problem here is that these companies seem more interested in peddling fixes rather than addressing the root causes of their issues. The Moza R16 Wheel Base, for example, has had its fair share of quality control problems - and users are fed up with dealing with the manufacturer's "solutions." It's a sad state of affairs when you're forced to resort to power cycling your wheel just to get it working.
But what about the other side? The Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel, while plagued by its own issues, at least has the benefit of being a premium product with more support behind it. It's a costly affair, but you do get what you pay for - or so you'd think.
So who gets my money? In a hypothetical showdown, I'd recommend the Moza R16 Wheel Base for those on a budget. While its issues are numerous and frustrating, it's at least a more affordable option with some redeeming qualities (like that 16Nm torque). However, if you're willing to pay top dollar for a premium experience - albeit one marred by reliability concerns - the Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel might be the better choice. For now, I'll give the Moza R16 Wheel Base the edge in this battle of wits and wheels.
