It works flawlessly with all RSeat cockpits, but it's also compatible with most sim racing rigs that support the standard 4-hole mount pattern. If you prefer a desktop setup, an optional table clamp is available for purchase. However, note that some users mention needing to double-check fitment with specific rigs due to the unique front and bottom mounting points. The system is compatible with all steering wheels in the Moza lineup, excluding CS V1, GS V1, and RS V1 wheels. The connection between the base and accessories, such as handbrakes and shifters, is established via a stable and reliable D1 quick release, offering smooth integration with Moza peripherals. On the downside, users outside the Moza ecosystem might need to explore additional adapters for compatibility with non-Moza wheels. Regarding gaming platforms, the Moza R16 V2 is exclusive to PC (Windows) users. It’s compatible with major sim racing titles like iRacing, Assetto Corsa, and rFactor 2. However, it doesn’t support consoles like PlayStation or Xbox, which is a limitation for users looking to race on multiple platforms. For PC racers, though, the R16 integrates seamlessly with leading sim racing software, offering a refined experience across various games.
