On paper, both wheels are direct drive beasts with impressive torque ratings. The Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel boasts a 11Nm torque rating, while the Moza R9 V2 Wheel Base has 9Nm. However, the Moza is slightly more compatible, being available for PC only, whereas the Logitech caters to multiple platforms (PC/PS5/Xbox).
I've seen users report an infuriating experience with the Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel. Their support team seems more interested in shifting blame than resolving issues. I've heard tales of wheels breaking down after mere months, leaving owners stuck on the phone for hours, only to be told that their problem is not a defect but a user error (apparently, users need to lower the FFB options in ACC...). The wheel base itself seems prone to rattle-causing vibrations. I'm not sure what's more disturbing – the product's performance or Logitech's customer service. On the other hand, users are reporting a remarkably different experience with the Moza R9 V2 Wheel Base. They rave about its reliability, with some owners clocking over 1000 hours without any major issues. Sure, there have been reports of overheating in the past, but it seems like these were isolated incidents (or perhaps Moza has since addressed them). The pedal's USB cable is a thoughtful touch, and users appreciate the quiet operation. The big problem here is that the Logitech wheel comes with an astronomical price tag. You'd expect premium performance from such an investment, but what you get instead is a product that's more hype than substance. I'm not sure if it's worth the premium price point, considering the issues that plague it.
For those on a budget, the Moza R9 V2 Wheel Base is the clear winner. It may lack the high-torque rating of its competitor, but it makes up for it with its reliability and affordability. I'd say it's a good value for money – you get what you pay for. But if you're willing to splurge on a premium product, the Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel might be worth considering... provided you're prepared for potential headaches with customer support and possible quality control issues. It's a high-risk, high-reward situation. I'd only recommend it to die-hard sim racers who are willing to take that gamble.
