It’s a good wheel, but having used it and the Neo, it’s not even a competition, the Neo completely crushes it at a similar price. The simhub compatibility of the Neo alone makes it worth it.
it is none of those things. I have owned it for almost a year. simple - absolutely not. The only way to access the Quick Release (which comes loose very easily over time), is to open the wheel up (see a video on @Kireth's channel). Doing so will void warranty btw. sturdy / strong - this thing creaks like crazy, and the QR will easily come loose. After 10 months, my upshift paddle has started to wear as well and sometimes misses shifts. Also, the cord it came with broke in 8 months.
The wheel is great but my only nitpicks are: 1. Wish the grips were a bit thicker and spongier 2. Moza Hub requires 2 USB ports: one data, one for power. GT Neo has a better/cheaper solution 3. A couple of the rotary dials randomly switch on their own (only in Assetto Corsa) so it’s likely a software issue
The GT Neo is a significantly better product at this price point from the looks of it. Here is my experience with the KS. I have submitted three support tickets due to issues with my wheel. They didn't even respond to the third. Important to note though, I have a 20NM wheelbase, so if you have a weaker wheel base you may not see these issues as severely. - The QR comes loose over time, and you can't fix it yourself without voiding your warranty. - If you use the universal hub, the wire is cheap and will not hold a connection after a few months, requiring you to buy a new one (they are cheap thankfully) - The wheel will creak like mad over time, especially when doing endurance races - my upshift paddle is wiggly and doesn't always shift. I don't see screws to tighten it. While the wheel gets the job done (when it works), I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy at this price point. As I said, the GT Neo was built much smarter (easy access to the QR, better wired connection, sturdier material, 7 way funky switches... everything about it is better).
Except that the GT Neo blows this out of the water. MagLink is far easier to use, cheaper and uses less cables than universal box. KS telemetry features are hit and miss with various games. Quality is also way better and has more buttons. And this is before even mentioning Simhub compatibility...
i only reason i got the simagic gt neo over the ks is the look. i like the looks of the fake forged carbon fiber over the normal carbon fiber. also the paddles shifters on the simagic are like smoother then my moza cs v2 wheel
What wheel combo would be a great choice for some chill sim racing, nothing competitive, just for some fun and not to expensive, all help is appreciated thx
I assume you’re looking for a wheelbase, wheel, and pedal combo? I would look into the Fanatec Ready2Race bundles, they’re very solid for casual and even competitive racing. You should be able to find them using the links in my bio
anyone recommending fanatec to you right now... run from everything they say. OC wants the referral $. With that said, hes got great video editing and is doing sim racing as a whole a favor. but cmon man, you know where fanatec is at right now.
Watched Boosted Media vid about the GT Neo and now this one. I'm gonna upgrade to DD this year after upgrading to alumrig next month and I'm still on the fence on what to buy. I feel like its gonna be a MOZA R9 and the GT NEO.. Seems like the quality of the GT NEO is better for only a little bit more money.
@@glenndjenkins Not made a choice yet, just build my simlab rig yesterday, upgrade dd will be at the end of the year I think. But these comments on my post say enough already on whats the better choice.
Hey. I’m getting interested in buying a sim setup yet I’m facing a problem. My budget is 500$ and I thought of getting a fanatec csl dd bundle and a shifter for 500$ but do u think it will be better to get a Logitech g923 on Amazon for 300$ and buy a rig instead?
Sorry, but abnormal isn't the right word, unless you're baiting me. xD But as a KS owner, I have only one complaint; that the center dial has a small chance to turn itself but not physically. I've had 3 cases of my car going into Safety Car Engine map in my 1 year use. Everything good about it, OC got it covered :)
@OCRacing all good! Very excited for the review. Interested to know what the changes are that Microsoft asked for compared to the review units from 9 months ago.
Man you are extremely underrated, I only watch you when I look for honest review. But it surprises me that all these sim racing companies send you stuff to review even with a lower amount of subs than others. Keep it up bro!!
Less subscribers, but his videos are well done, and to the point. With Boosted Media and a few others this video would be 90 minutes long lol While I love an in depth video, sometimes I’d rather watch an 8 minute video.
I had the Moza GS. I now use the GT Neo. It wild how much nicer it is than the GS. I can’t imagine this wheel feeling good given how awful the $400 GS felt to me.
Im a bit late but the mclaren gt3 wheel looks cool to me and i love the shifters i have a moza base so is it worth it. it would cost around the same as ks and is the usb thing that big of a hastle
I have a question I am planning to purchase a Moza R5 bundle, Later I would like to possibly purchase an additional wheel like the GT wheel in the video. Should I take into account certain wheels are not compatible with the R5 or are all wheels compatible on any Moza base regardless of your force-feedback
Hey Tom, good question. All moza wheels will be compatible with all moza wheelbases. If you do end up purchasing and this video was any help to you, feel free to use my affiliate links found here: www.ocsimracing.com/discount-codes It’ll tell Moza that I helped you out at zero extra cost and help me keep making these videos. Thanks! Oscar
Sorry, not related to the video, but I do have a question. ATM, I use a Moza H-Patern shifter, and it's loud as F. Before my partner files to a divorce (or worse, I feel the need to buy a Thrustmaster Shifter), do you reckon if the Fanatec Shifter is quieter? All my gear (beside the shifter) is Fanatec anyways. Sequential mode is also a plus for Rally racing Thanks
Ooh great quesiton. Two things: 1 - yes the Fanatec shifter can be quieter. The noise it makes will depend on how much force you want it to require to shift gears. At a lighter setting, it won't make as much noise compared to it's hardest. 2 - I wouldn't be surprised if there were 3rd party mods to dampen the noise of the Moza shifter. If you like the shifting feel of it, it may be worth it to look into that as a much cheaper solution.
@@OCRacing Yeah, I tried my best to find a mod with no luck. The rubber pads don't change anything, as the noise comes from the bearings inside. Thanks for the reply. =]
@@justyouraveragepeiceoftoas1988 at some point you’ll probably ending up wanting the 3 extra nm so you might as well bite the bullet once. As far as a rig I built mine out of extra scrap wood so you can get creative there. If money is the true issue then go with the 9 but I’d say you’ll eventually probably want the 12.
If you have the budget for it, Fanatec makes the best gear for PS5 - granted your options are fairly limited. Keep in mind you would be looking at the Fanatec GT DD Pro or the ClubSport DD Plus.

Came to this channel for the reviews stayed for the editting and storytelling. keep up the grind.
I appreciate it =)
this channel should have like 1-2 mil subs. Keep the great work
Man so excited for u to hit 100k
ugh me too, it's taking it's SWEET time though...
Glad u mentioned GT neo at the end. The best two wheels for the price.
i own one. it's fantastic for the price

KS gets all the SSS approval
Simple

sturdy and strong is the same meaning bro. Get real ;)

I really wish for fanatec version of amg gt3 wheel for cheap(er) similar to mclaren gt3 , you know that older model with small central plate
Now, I have a fanatec setup and the Mclaren GT3 wheel is awesome... But I kinda want this!
The wheel is great but my only nitpicks are:
1. Wish the grips were a bit thicker and spongier

Thanks for the review man

Great vid. Could you do a review of a podium hub. And the accessories such as shifters and button cluster.

Still cant get the rev lights to work on my R16 in any game, still a nice wheel
Really? Weird. Best thing I can do is suggest is to update the software
I’ve been waiting ages for this
The best things take time B)
Which would you recommend moza or simagic @OCRacing
🙂I think you forgot to specify that it is compatible with other brands on PC, thanks to its USB cable.
I own a KS wheel I want to see what is abnormal about it 🤔
uh, not much - it's pretty good actually
@@OCRacingI want u to get 100k soon I've been here since 3k 😭

It is, GT Neo is much better.

Intro was a banger. You should really produce content in 4k though.
Nah, I’ve done it and it gives very few benefits for all the hassle
I have this wheel, feels a bit sad not seeing it with VR though :(
TBH, It also looks like a Williams Formula 1 wheel. 😏

AC? because i only run iRacing and never had a problem, other person mentioned same issue like yours with AC...
@@Bert1986ACC. I mapped the center dial to the engine map.
Been using this wheel for about 6 months works gtreat with ACC, Iracing bit for whatever reason with LMU the rpm lights dont work
Nice review!! Any idea when you will get out a R3 review?
If I don’t sleep tomorrow, Tuesday. But I think I want to take it easy so likely later next week
@OCRacing all good! Very excited for the review. Interested to know what the changes are that Microsoft asked for compared to the review units from 9 months ago.
The only thing abnormal is the central dial. It is not in the center; it swings side to side when you turn the wheel. You can kinda see it at 06:30
Huh really? Don’t think I ever noticed but I’ll take a look tonight
if by that you mean the center dial isnt aligned with the center of the direct drive shaft then i dont see why this is “abnormal”
@@OCRacing No. I don't know what he's talking about swinging side to side. Definitely not true. 😂

I like Moza but I think I will stick with Fanatec. Keep the work up Oscar!
I will keep up the good work, thank you 🤝
any suggestion on which f1 wheel to get for logi g29 i just bought f1 24 and i really whant an f1 wheel
Afaik Logitech (except the Pro base) and everything below T300 from Thrustmaster don't have interchangeable wheels.
is there a chance of a Simagic FX Pro review?

looks like the williams f1 steering wheel haha
which one is better the ks or the gs v2p wheel
Stil waiting on the moza d3
Please make a begginer sim racing guide.
I have a bunch! But noted
Still waiting on the r3 review
Hello good video very helpful, does this wheel addon work on moza r3 and r5 bundle? Thanks
Yes it does 👍

Question... should I get a r9 or r12?
Les deux...
R12
what about the price difference between the r9 and r12 and i still don't have a rig maybe me might send me one lol.
@@justyouraveragepeiceoftoas1988 at some point you’ll probably ending up wanting the 3 extra nm so you might as well bite the bullet once.

Neither, Alpha mini is way better for similar money
GT Neo is sooooo much better.... And you can use it on Moza base ;)
Do all of the buttons work?
Day 688 of looking at simracing items that ill never be able to afford
Same😅
Will gran turismo ever come to pc?
No
Should I get Fanatec for GT7/PS5

@@OCRacingbut isn’t the customer service really bad? I looked on trust pilot and they have really bad reviews.

KS or Gt Neo?
GT Neo all the way.
Can you use this wheel with forza Motorsport
Are you on PC? If so, I believe so
@@OCRacing yes I am thank you. I actually just ordered this wheel with R9 and pedals I Mai Lu play Forza Motorsport (latest one)
seeing all of these reviews make me feel poor af.
anyway Imma go back to racing on my Thrustmaster TMX now
TMX is a good looking wheel :-)
But this one at least isn't super expensive by sim racing standards.
