Racing shifter add-on MOZA RS079 — aluminium body, microfibre leather, 157×228×184 mm, 110–220V, 216W

The MOZA RS079 racing shifter add-on provides realistic manual-style shifting for sim racing setups. Constructed with an aluminium body and microfibre leather trim, the unit measures 157 × 227.9 × 184 mm and is finished in black. It supports 110–220 V input and a peak power draw of 216 W. The RS079 is designed to attach alongside compatible MOZA wheelbases and third‑party cockpits, offering true-to-life gear engagement through active force feedback driven by dual servo motors.

Advantages

This shifter features dual servo motor force feedback technology and patented mechanisms to recreate authentic shifting sensations such as engagement clicks, resistance, vibration and grinding effects. It delivers high torque performance with up to 9 Nm continuous and 12 Nm peak torque, while a high-resolution magnetic encoder and a 280 MHz control chip ensure fast, accurate response to driver inputs. The aluminium quick-shift lever and aerospace-grade construction provide durability and short-throw responsiveness, and MOZA’s Pit House software enables detailed tuning of resistance, damping and vibration.

Suitable for

• Sim racing enthusiasts who want realistic H-pattern and sequential shifting
• Racing cockpits and wheelbases compatible with MOZA and many third-party mounts
• Users who require adjustable force feedback and software customization
• Competitive sim drivers seeking precise, low-latency gear changes

How to use

Mount the MOZA RS079 to a compatible wheelbase or cockpit using the recommended bracket positions and fasteners supplied by your rig manufacturer. Connect the unit to power (110–220 V) and to the wheelbase or PC according to the MOZA connection guide. Use MOZA Pit House software to select the desired gear mode (H-pattern, sequential or handbrake), then adjust shift resistance, damping and vibration parameters to match personal preference or specific simulation titles. Follow the in-software calibration routine to synchronise the encoder and ensure accurate gear detection.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, ensure secure mechanical mounting and stable power supply. Update firmware and Pit House software regularly to access new modes and compatibility improvements. Adjust force feedback and damping incrementally to find a balance between realism and component longevity; avoid excessive continuous peak torque settings for prolonged periods to reduce wear. Clean the microfibre leather trim with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals.
