Moza R3 vs Logitech G29

Head-to-head · Updated 19 October 2026 · Based on 65 owner posts and reviews

The R3 and the G29 are close in price and are often searched together, but they are built for different consoles. Moza's R3 bundle is the Xbox and PC model. The G29 is Logitech's PlayStation and PC wheel, and the Xbox version is the G920. Check your platform before you compare force feedback.

We cannot hands-on test wheels. This page uses owner reports from verified-buyer reviews on Moza's US store and PB Tech, owner posts on GTPlanet, and the prices and compatibility on the brand pages as of 19 October 2026.

The short answer

On Xbox, the R3 is the direct drive option and owners who moved from Logitech wheels call it a clear step up, though setup needs a PC and the included pedals are basic. On PlayStation the G29 is your pick because the R3 is not a PlayStation wheel. On PC alone, the Moza R5 bundle is only $40 more than the R3 on Moza's store today and has 5.5 Nm instead of 3.9 Nm.

Choose the Moza R3 if you play on Xbox Series X|S and want force feedback that owners describe as smoother and quieter than a Logitech wheel. Borrow or own a PC for first-time calibration.

Choose the Logitech G29 if you play on PS5 or PS4, or want the cheapest complete set at $229.99. On Xbox, compare the R3 with Logitech's G920 instead.

Which platform are you on?

The R3 bundle on Moza's US store is listed as officially licensed for Xbox Series X|S and as working with Windows PCs. The Moza page lists no PlayStation support. The G29 page says the G29 is for PlayStation and PC and the G920 is for Xbox and PC.

So the fair comparison depends on your console. On PlayStation there is nothing to compare, because the R3 will not work as a PlayStation wheel. On Xbox, the R3 competes with the G920. On PC, you can choose either, and then the R5 bundle at $379 deserves a look before you pick the R3 at $339.

Force feedback: what owners say about the jump from Logitech

R3 owners who came from Logitech wheels say the difference is large. One G923 owner wrote that the feedback is smooth and feels more like bumps and gravel. Another said it is miles better than Logitech. A PB Tech reviewer wrote that it blows any Logitech out of the water. These come from store reviews, so they lean positive.

G29 owners tell the opposite story about noise. The gear drive is loud, and several say the force is on the weak side. Owners who are happy with the G29 say it holds up for years and is fine for casual racing at moderate force settings.

Is 3.9 Nm enough?

Owners are split. Several first-time direct drive buyers say 3.9 Nm is plenty, and one newcomer wrote that it gives the feeling of driving your first car. A PB Tech buyer called 3.9 Nm almost the bare minimum for mid-range sim racing in 2026 and suggested the R5 or R9. On GTPlanet, two posters tell new buyers to go straight to the R5 or call 3.9 Nm light.

A few owners say the included wheel is too small and bought a larger rim.

Xbox setup is the weak spot

Several Xbox owners say the instructions are thin. One reviewer explained that you must install Moza's Pit House software on a PC, plug the wheel into that PC and calibrate it before the wheel will behave on Xbox. Another had input lag on Xbox that got worse after a software update and fixed it by going back to an older version.

Owners also report features that do not work on Xbox. Two say the RPM lights do not work, and one says four buttons do nothing on Xbox and four more are double bound to the pedals and shifters. One Xbox owner said the wheel does not always connect and they have to cycle the power or replug it a few times.

Pedals and upgrades

R3 owners are mixed on the SR-P Lite pedals. One says they are not as bad as the reviews suggest. Others recommend the brake performance kit, and two say it makes a large difference.

The G29 pedals are fine for the price, owners say, but the wheel cannot take a different rim. The R3 base accepts Moza's other rims, so a first upgrade is usually a bigger wheel and a brake kit.

G29 - bulletproof for about 7 years, I have no clue how mine is still going only had an issue when the power supply cable went

The strength of the wheel is on the weak side and it makes a lot of noise, but you can alleviate that with the in-game settings
