Ever since Simucube released their revolutionary Active Pedals, sim racers have been eagerly waiting for more affordable alternatives to hit the market. Enter the MOZA mBooster – priced at $799 USD for the standalone pedal, it comes in at less than half the cost of Simucube’s Active Pedal Pro.
While the price tag is still substantial, it represents a significant step toward making active pedal technology accessible to more serious sim racers. Our extensive testing aimed to answer two key questions: does the mBooster deliver a comparable experience to its premium-priced Simucube competitors, and is it worth the significant price premium over high-end load cell pedals with haptic feedback such as the Simagic P1000s?
In this comprehensive review, we’ll examine exactly what the mBooster delivers compared to its more expensive competitors, dive deep into its hardware and software capabilities, and analyze the driving experience it provides. Whether you’re looking to enhance immersion and braking precision with ABS feedback or create custom pedal profiles for different racing disciplines, we’ll help you determine if the mBooster represents the value breakthrough it appears to be, or if there are compromises that might steer you in a different direction.
