Moza Racing has just released its MotoGP Controller, and it looks insanely good

Attention MotoGP fans, Moza Racing has officially launched its new sim-racing controller, and as you may have seen from the image above, it’s not a steering wheel. Licensed by the premier motorcycle racing series itself, the Moza Racing MotoGP Controller was inspired by grand prix bike handlebars and is complete with a twist throttle, brake and clutch levers, and even forced feedback. 

Moza Racing has long been a staple in mainstream sim-racing equipment, but this is the first time the company has developed motorcycle-specific sim hardware. Like a real motorcycle cockpit, the controller has adjustable positions for the throttle, brake, and clutch to tailor to your preferences.

The controller also has two riding modes—Direct Lean Mode and Countersteering Mode—which affect how you maneuver the bike in-game. Direct Lean Mode allows you to control the lean angle of the motorcycle by dipping the handlebar in whichever direction. If you want to go right, lean the bars to the right. Meanwhile, Countersteering Mode orients the handlebars as you would find them on a real motorcycle. At speed, you initiate a turn by countersteering to get the bike to lean in the direction you want it to go.

In total, there are 10 RGB buttons, a D-pad, and a five-way switch, which can be assigned to various features like controlling upshifts and downshifts, rider aids, cameras, and more. Six RGB lights at the top can be configured as shift lights, vehicle status indicators, or flag indicators.
