MOZA mBooster Active Pedal
Force feedback active pedal with 270 W servo motor
Description
The MOZA mBooster is an active (force feedback) pedal launched in March 2025 as a lower-cost rival to Simucube's ActivePedal.
Actuator and sensing. A high-torque servo motor with ball screw drive (270 W peak) moves the pedal, while dual 200 kg load cells and an angle sensor read your input. Instead of springs and elastomers, the pedal's stiffness, travel, damping, friction and rebound are set in software.
Effects. ABS, wheel lock-up, traction control, engine vibration, gear shifts, G-force and road surface feedback in supported sims, with 15 presets and per-car profiles in MOZA Pit House.
Adjustment and build. Aluminum alloy body with a biomimetic curved face, 0-25° travel and 0-15° angle adjustment. It can be set as brake, throttle or clutch. Operating noise is rated at 44 dB.
Setup. Sold alone. It mounts to a rig or to MOZA CRP2 pedals (the Base Extension Plate is recommended), connects to the PC by USB and to CRP2 pedals via RJ11, and needs its 110-220 V to 48 V power supply. It does not require a MOZA wheel base.
Features & highlights
Driving style
The mBooster is for enthusiasts who want the brake pedal itself to talk to them. Its ABS and lock-up effects work best in Assetto Corsa, Assetto Corsa Competizione, iRacing, Automobilista 2, RaceRoom, EA SPORTS WRC and DiRT Rally 2.0, helping drivers feel the threshold before locking a wheel. It takes time to tune per car and sim and is loud in operation. Best for dedicated PC sim racers with a rig and CRP2 pedals who want active braking without Simucube pricing; not suited for casual drivers, who are better served by a passive load cell like the CRP2 or SRP2.
Build quality
An aluminum alloy body with a curved face houses a 270 W servo motor and ball screw drive, read by dual 200 kg load cells. A reviewer found the feel solid but less refined than Simucube's, with noticeable noise (44 dB idle) and vibration in use. It needs an external 48 V power supply. MOZA lists up to 24 months of warranty.
Software
The mBooster is driven entirely by MOZA Pit House on Windows PC: pedal mode (brake, throttle or clutch), stiffness, travel, damping, friction, rebound, effect strengths and 15 presets, with per-car and per-sim profiles. Firmware updates were described as stable. Effects depend on sim telemetry: ABS works in AC, ACC, AMS2, EA WRC, iRacing and RaceRoom; iRacing outputs ABS only, and a reviewer could not get lock-up working in rFactor 2. It connects via USB on PC and does not need a MOZA base.
