Speednation buying guide · PC steering wheels
The clearest reason to choose the MOZA KS Pro over the KS is its built-in display and expanded control layout. Both are 300 mm butterfly-style wheels with magnetic shifters and dual-clutch paddles. Start with the information and controls you want on the wheel, then check the connection to your exact wheelbase.
Two wheels, different priorities
MOZA KS
Three rotary encoders, dual-clutch paddles and a layout without an integrated screen.

Will you use the Pro's screen?
The KS Pro's 2.99-inch display supports dashboard customisation through MOZA Pit House. Its manual also documents screen-brightness adjustment and shortcuts for changing dashboards and screens.
Before choosing it, decide where you want to read driving information. If your monitor layout or separate dash already suits you, the integrated screen may be less important. If you want a display that moves with the wheel, the Pro gives you that option. Check the telemetry and dashboard support for your particular game before making it the reason to upgrade.
Compare your button map with the hardware
The original KS already has three rotary encoders, two thumb encoders and two depressible joysticks. The Pro increases the rotary count to five and adds two rear buttons, alongside its two seven-way switches.
Write down the functions you actually use, then match them to the controls. If you keep running out of places for adjustments, the Pro's additional controls are a concrete reason to consider it. If your current map fits comfortably on the KS, a larger control count alone does not make the upgrade necessary.
Both wheels offer dual-clutch paddle modes. The Pro changes the paddle material to forged carbon, and its manual documents forward-and-back paddle-distance adjustment. Treat those as hardware differences; choose the layout and reach you prefer rather than assuming a material change will improve your driving.
Which one fits your setup?
- You are choosing your first GT-style wheel: compare the KS's controls with the map you want to build. Choose the Pro when its screen or extra inputs solve a specific requirement.
- You already own a KS: list what you are missing before replacing it. The Pro's screen, extra rotary controls and rear buttons give you a useful checklist for deciding whether to change.
- You already use a separate dashboard: assess the Pro on its control layout and paddles as well as its display. You may already have the information screen you need.
MOZA wheelbase compatibility
MOZA lists direct connections for both the KS and KS Pro across the following wheelbases:
- R3 and R5
- R9 V2 and V3
- R12 V1 and V2
- R16 V1 units covered by MOZA's “2023 later” qualification, and R16 V2
- R21 V1 units covered by the same “2023 later” qualification, and R21 V2
- R21 Ultra and R25 Ultra
For the R5 Pro, Harrison at Speednation confirms that both the KS and KS Pro work with the base from his own use.
For the current range, MOZA describes the KS as supporting its non-wireless bases and the KS Pro as supporting MOZA wheelbases currently on sale. Match an older base's exact revision in the current compatibility chart before ordering.
For a third-party base, MOZA documents a Universal Hub Kit connection to the PC for both wheels. Confirm the mechanical adapter and quick release, the hub's power and data connection, and your base's own support.
This comparison covers PC use. Our wheel compatibility guide explains the wider platform and connection checks. Confirm the console, game features and required software or firmware for your complete setup.
Before you order
- Identify your base: record its exact model and hardware revision, then check the documented connection.
- Plan your controls: decide which functions need a button, rotary or paddle input.
- Check your game: confirm the inputs and telemetry you need, especially if the Pro's display is your main reason for choosing it.
- Check the current product listing: review the price, availability and required accessories for your selected wheel.
KS and KS Pro questions
Is the KS Pro larger than the KS?
