In this video, Subliminal unboxes and reviews the MOZA MPR rudder pedals, highlighting their sleek design, solid build, ease of assembly, and customizable features like adjustable dampers, while noting the absence of force feedback as a minor drawback. He praises their comfort and ergonomic design for long gaming sessions, comparing them favorably to competitors and expressing excitement for future MOZA hardware reviews.
In this video, Subliminal unboxes and reviews the MOZA MPR rudder pedals, a new addition to his flight sim hardware setup. He expresses excitement about the pedals’ sleek black gunmetal finish, which he finds visually appealing and different from other pedals he has seen. The pedals are packaged thoughtfully, with a sturdy plastic base and cast aluminum toe brake pedals. Subliminal notes the pedals’ heavy weight and solid build, suggesting durability and premium quality. The box also includes an adjustable damper accessory, hardware, and cables for connectivity.
During the assembly process, Subliminal highlights the ease of installation, appreciating the pre-threaded screws and included tools. He installs the footrests and discusses the pedal adjustments, such as centering force via springs, travel range, and pedal angle. He also mentions the option to remove the footrests for larger feet, noting that his size 12 feet fit comfortably with the footrests fully extended. The pedals’ rubber feet provide excellent grip on carpeted floors, preventing unwanted movement during use.
One notable downside mentioned is the absence of force feedback in the pedals, which Subliminal finds a bit disappointing given the pedals’ weight and premium build. However, he acknowledges that including force feedback would likely increase the cost. He demonstrates the installation of the adjustable damper, which adds resistance to pedal movement and can be fine-tuned by hand. While he is unsure if the damper is necessary for space sims like Star Citizen, he appreciates the customization options offered.
Subliminal then connects the pedals to his computer and configures them using MOZA’s software, which he praises for its clean and intuitive interface. He calibrates the pedals and sets up the rudder axis for use in Star Citizen, noting that the pedals’ rocking motion requires some adjustment in muscle memory compared to his previous pedals. He finds the pedals comfortable and ergonomic, suitable for long gaming sessions, and notes that the pedals accommodate large feet well, making them accessible to a wide range of users.
In conclusion, Subliminal is highly impressed with the MOZA MPR rudder pedals, describing them as a premium, durable product on par with or better than competitors like Verpal and VKB. Although he is unsure of the price, he guesses it would be above $300 due to the quality materials and construction. While he does not plan to do a full review immediately, he looks forward to testing more MOZA products and encourages viewers to subscribe for upcoming unboxings and reviews of related hardware, including MOZA’s force feedback base, grip, and throttle.
