Screen

Now the first thing we notice is the circular display in the center of the wheel, it’s an awesome high definition color touch screen, used to display telemetry, including things like gears, speed and lap timings. Being a touch screen it allows us to quickly swipe and change through different dash displays while driving, we also have the ability to modify and create our own custom displays which we will take a look at later in the Pit House software.

RPM LED Gauge

Just above the screen we have an integrated top mounted RPM LED gauge, all the led colors are customizable and adjustable within the software and what’s great about this RPM gauge is it can also be set to function as a flag or signal indicator. So along with displaying the Rev lights it’s able to show race flag or indicators when activated, which is a handy thing to have when racing.

Build Quality and Construction

For the construction the wheel is built on an aluminum alloy back plate and frame, this gives a solid feel and plenty of strength to the steering wheel. The grips are hand stitched micro fiber leather and the ergonomic shaped grips keep the hands in a neutral position and these have a nice comfortable feel. At the front, the steering wheel is built with a carbon reinforced composite face plate, this has a cool forged carbon fiber look and finished with blue accents.

Inputs

On the wheel we can find plenty of controls and inputs, there’s 8 RGB short travel buttons and these have an excellent tactile feel when pressing. The colors on the buttons can be quickly customized with in the software, there’s pre-set colors to choose from or we can select and customize the buttons with any colors.

On the front of the wheel there’s also 2 blue anodized metal thumb wheel encoders positioned in the middle spokes for easily adjusting settings like brake bias or your own preferred setting, these have a nice tactile feel when using them and while racing it means you can keep both hands on the grips to adjust functions.

Towards the bottom just under the screen we have 3 encoder dials with metal knobs, and these have a nice tactile clicks when turning. They can be set as button mode switches to activate 12 separate input functions or set as encoders to increase and decrease functions. With unlimited rotation I find them good to use for settings such as ABS or TC (traction control).

And finally at the front there’s 2 handy joysticks, one analog stick with push button function on the left side and on the right is a directional joystick with rotary encoder and push function. Now there’s two more hidden buttons and these can be found at the back of the wheel just near the shifter mounts. These are in a great location and are easy to reach without moving your hands from the driving position. All the buttons and inputs on the steering wheel have a nice tactile feel and have a well-designed layout.

Shifters and Clutch

Taking a look at the back of the steering wheel we have magnetic paddle shifters for nice crisp positive shifting and there’s dual Clutch paddles, the clutch paddles are spring loaded and have a slightly longer travel than the shifters. Both work on non-contact Hall sensors for long life and accurate operation and they have high quality machined alloy bodies and levers, the shifter and clutch have carbon fiber paddles with detailed cutouts which look great and also provide some extra grip. The two lower analogue clutch paddles can be used as a combined axis, split axis working individually, or even programmed as a switch. So this means they can be used as a dual clutch, be set as a button to activate a function like DRS or they can even be used as a throttle and brake, giving plenty of options and this is all adjusted and managed within the software.

QR Connection and Comparability

At the back, an aluminum Quick Release is used on this steering wheel to securely connect to the wheel base, there’s no flex or movement here, just a solid and reliable connection. For compatibility, the steering wheel communication supports both wireless and conductive slip ring modes which means full compatibility with all Moza wheel bases.

Universal Hub

Now if you did want to use the steering wheel with another wheel base there’s a rear connection port to further increase the compatibility. By adding the optional MOZA Universal Hub and a QR adapter the Vision GS Wheel can be connect to third party wheel bases on a PC via USB.

Stickers

In the package are some included stickers for customizing the wheel layout and labelling the RGB buttons. Installation of the labels is completed by simply selecting the decal, and using the included tweezers to lift the sticker from the sheet, and then placing it on the button. Using the included tweezers helps to align the decal and makes the installation process easy.

Software

Once connected to a PC the steering wheel uses Moza Pit House software to quickly and easily set up the wheel. It has a user friendly interface which is easy to navigate and in the software we can customize the steering wheel by change button colors, change setting modes for the clutch paddles, and adjust modes for the encoders.

What’s also good to see is the brightness of the display, RPM and RGB buttons are all adjusted independently, so you can have one brighter or darker than the others.

The Rpm LEDS can also have their colors quickly changed and customized in the software. Another thing we can do is use the LEDS to display game telemetry like a pit limiter, TC, or Flags and these work together with the Rev lights during game play.

One other setting for the display is the dashboard gravity sensing, when off this allows the screen to turn with the wheel or when it’s turned on the gyroscope mode will keep the screen horizontal while driving.

With the screen there’s preset displays to choose from that show important information like speed, gears, and lap timings. We can also create our own displays with the editor with a huge list of telemetry options available. And the editor is also great for modifying and customizing existing screens simply by readjusting the layout.

Driving Experience

With its modern looks there is a lot to like about this steering wheel, all the buttons and inputs feel high quality and are set out with a good layout. The Vision GS feels nice and premium while racing and having a lower top gives good view of the screen

There’s plenty of information displayed with the RPM and flag indicators, and having the center display is excellent to quickly see gear, speed, lap, or delta times.

Overall the Vision GS steering wheel has an excellent build quality and it makes for a good go to steering wheel for driving GT cars.
