The Moza KS Pro and CS Pro cost the same and share the same core — so the choice comes down to rim shape. We compare both wheels to help you pick the right one for formula, GT, endurance or drift racing.
The Moza KS Pro and CS Pro are two of the most popular performance sim racing wheels in the Moza line-up, and they're priced identically — which makes choosing between them genuinely tricky. The good news: under the rim they're nearly the same wheel. Both share the same 2.99-inch display, the same magnetic forged-carbon paddles, the same lighting, software, and wheelbase compatibility. The real decision comes down to one thing:rim shape and the kind of racing you do. This guide breaks down exactly who each wheel is for.
KS Pro vs CS Pro: the short answer
Because they cost the same and share the same core electronics, you're not choosing a "better" or "cheaper" wheel — you're choosing the right shape for your racing.
Choose the Moza KS Pro if you mostly race open-wheel and formula cars (and some GT) and want the maximum number of controls in reach.
Choose the Moza CS Pro if you race GT, endurance, drift, or a mix of disciplines, want a more comfortable round rim for long stints, and like the option to expand later.

Rim shape and feel: formula vs GT
This is the heart of the decision. The KS Pro uses a flat, butterfly-style formula rim. Your hands stay fixed at the quarter-to-three position, which is exactly how you drive open-wheel and many GT and prototype cars — no shuffle-steering, just precise inputs with every control under your thumbs and fingers. The soft-touch TPE grip keeps it light and responsive during quick direction changes.
The CS Pro takes the opposite approach with a full 325 mm round GT rim wrapped in microfiber leather. That fuller shape and grip thickness are chosen for endurance comfort, encouraging smooth, subtle corrections over long stints and handling the larger steering rotation of GT3, road, drift, and rally cars far more naturally than a flat formula wheel. If you spend hours in GT or endurance lobbies, the round rim is the more comfortable companion.
Controls and expandability
If raw control density is your priority, the KS Pro edges ahead: it packs 10 RGB buttons, an extra 8-position rotary, four thumb wheels, and two joysticks into its face, with dual-clutch paddles you can repurpose for launch control, pit functions, or hybrid deployment. It's a tinkerer's wheel that rewards a detailed button map.
The CS Pro trades a little face density for modularity. It ships with standard dual paddles but has pre-installed mounting points for an optional six-paddle upgrade, letting you add paddles for brake bias or energy deployment without cluttering the front. Its industry-standard 6×70 bolt pattern is the bigger story: you can bolt the CS Pro button box onto third-party GT, drift, or rally rims and keep full button, display, and LED functionality — making it the more flexible long-term platform for a multi-discipline rig.
What they share: the Moza Pro DNA
Whichever rim you choose, you get the same core experience. Both wheels feature the bright 2.99-inch customizable display for live telemetry and dashboards, the same configurable RGB rev and flag lighting that can replace your on-screen HUD, magnetic forged-carbon paddles with Hall sensors, an all-aluminium quick release, and MOZA Pit House software for mapping everything. Both connect natively to MOZA direct drive wheelbases and also work with third-party bases through the MOZA universal hub kit. Both are built for PC sim titles such as iRacing, Assetto Corsa, Assetto Corsa Competizione, and rFactor 2.
Choose the Moza KS Pro if…
You mostly race open-wheel and formula cars, where a flat rim is the authentic and correct choice.
You want the most controls possible in reach — extra buttons, an additional rotary, and four thumb wheels.
You like repurposing dual-clutch paddles for launch control, pit, or hybrid systems.
You prefer a light, grippy TPE rim for fast, precise inputs.
Both wheels are the steering wheel only — they need a wheelbase to drive the force feedback. If you're in the Moza ecosystem, pair either one with a MOZA direct drive base; if you run another brand, the MOZA universal hub kit lets you use them on most direct drive bases over PC. To complete the setup, add a set of sim racing pedals and a solid cockpit or rig. You can also browse ready-made bundles to save on a full kit.
Frequently asked questions
Are the Moza KS Pro and CS Pro the same price?
Yes, both wheels are offered at the same price point. Because they share the same display, paddles, electronics, and software, your choice is purely about rim shape and use case rather than budget or tier.
Can I use these wheels with a non-Moza wheelbase?
Yes. Both connect natively to MOZA bases through the quick release, and both support a wide range of third-party direct drive bases via the MOZA universal hub kit over PC. The CS Pro's 6×70 bolt pattern also lets you fit third-party rims to its button box.
Do the KS Pro and CS Pro work on PlayStation or Xbox?
Both are designed for PC sim racing and are not natively compatible with PlayStation or Xbox. Console use requires third-party adapters, and display or LED features may be limited in that scenario, so they're best suited to a PC setup.
Is the CS Pro's six-paddle upgrade worth it?
If you race cars with brake bias adjustment, energy deployment, or complex pit workflows — common in GT3, hypercars, and endurance — the extra paddles let you manage those without taking your hands off the rim. For simpler driving, the standard dual paddles are plenty, and you can add the upgrade later thanks to the pre-installed mounting points.
Which is better for a beginner?
For most newcomers racing GT3 or road cars, the CS Pro's round rim feels the most familiar and comfortable, much like a real car wheel. Choose the KS Pro instead if your focus from day one is open-wheel and formula racing, where the flat rim is the correct shape.
Can I swap the rim on the KS Pro?
No, the KS Pro is an integrated formula wheel with a fixed rim. If rim swapping matters to you, the CS Pro is the better choice thanks to its industry-standard 6×70 bolt pattern, which accepts a range of third-party GT, drift, and rally rims.
