Logitech G Hub vs MOZA Pit House: Wheel App Comparison

What companion software does for a racing wheel

A racing wheel is a USB input device, but most modern wheels also ship with a companion app for the PC. That app is where you set values the wheel cannot show on its buttons: force feedback strength, rotation angle, pedal calibration, and button assignment.

The app does not change the hardware. It writes settings into the wheel's internal controller, and the wheel keeps them after you close the app. You set the wheel once and play without reopening the app.

Every maker provides its own software. Logitech G uses Logitech G Hub, and MOZA uses MOZA Pit House. The app follows the wheel, so the first decision is the hardware, not the software. The best racing wheel guide explains how to compare wheels on their stated details.

Logitech G Hub and the Logitech G lineup

Logitech G Hub is the companion app for Logitech G wheels. The Logitech G catalog lists the G923 as a 2.3 Nm force feedback wheel with the TRUEFORCE Racing System, and the RS50 as an 8 Nm direct drive base with TRUEFORCE. Both wheels are adjusted through the same app.

TRUEFORCE is Logitech G's trade name for a force feedback system that draws detail from game audio. It is a term on the listing, not a type of drive. The G923 is a force feedback wheel, and the RS50 is direct drive.

G Hub is the app where you set force feedback strength, rotation angle, button mapping, and pedal settings for compatible Logitech wheels. If you own a Logitech G wheel, G Hub is the app to install.

MOZA Pit House and the MOZA lineup

MOZA makes direct drive racing wheels for the PC. Its companion app is MOZA Pit House, and it serves the MOZA wheel bases, including the R3, R5, R9, and R16 series. Pit House is where you adjust force feedback, rotation, buttons, and pedals on a MOZA wheel.

MOZA wheels are PC-oriented, and Pit House runs on the PC. The stated torque of each base appears in the wheel's listing, and the app sets the force feedback within that stated range.

For MOZA owners, the app is part of the MOZA ecosystem. If you are deciding between a Logitech and a MOZA wheel, compare the stated torque and drive type first.

Customization: what each app lets you change

Both apps cover the same core settings: force feedback strength, rotation angle, button assignment, pedal calibration, and deadzone. The exact list depends on the wheel model and the app version.

Force feedback strength is set within the wheel's stated torque. The G923 is stated at 2.3 Nm, and the RS50 at 8 Nm. MOZA bases state their own torque in the listing. The app does not let you exceed the stated value.

Rotation angle is the number of degrees the wheel turns from lock to lock. A listing may state 270, 900, or 1080 degrees. The app sets the value within the wheel's range.

Deadzone and curve settings change how the wheel responds near center and at the ends. These are general sim racing adjustments. The wheel base software configuration guide explains what each setting does in plain terms.

• Force feedback strength and direction
• Rotation angle in degrees
• Pedal calibration and deadzone
• Button mapping and wheel display settings

Telemetry and data display

Telemetry is the data a simulator sends to external devices: speed, gear, throttle position, brake pressure, and lap times. A companion app may read that data and show it on a wheel display or on the PC screen.

Whether a specific app provides telemetry depends on the maker's support pages. This article does not add game support claims; check the maker's compatibility list for the app you plan to use.

Telemetry is useful for improving lap times because it shows where you brake and accelerate. You do not need a dashboard to use telemetry; many simulators display it on the PC screen. The companion app may show the same data on the wheel's screen, if the wheel has one.

If you want a dashboard without buying a separate display, check the maker's compatibility list before buying a wheel. The wheel base display guide explains what a display can and cannot show.

Choosing the right app for your wheel

The app does not choose the wheel; the wheel chooses the app. A Logitech G wheel runs with Logitech G Hub. A MOZA wheel runs with MOZA Pit House. There is no crossover between the two, and the maker's compatibility list is the final word.

If you are choosing a wheel for a PS5, an Xbox, or a PC, compare the hardware first. The app follows the wheel, and platform support is stated in the wheel's listing or on the maker's compatibility list.

For a first wheel, the simplest path is a force feedback wheel with pedals in the box. For a direct drive upgrade, look at the direct drive guide.

Both apps receive regular updates from the maker. Updates can add settings or fix bugs, but they do not change the hardware's stated specifications. The maker's support page is the source for update notes.

What to pick for your situation

Questions

Do I need a companion app to use a racing wheel?

No. The wheel works as a controller without the app. The app is for adjustments like force feedback strength, rotation, and button mapping.

Can I use Logitech G Hub with a MOZA wheel?

No. Logitech G Hub is made for Logitech G wheels. MOZA wheels use MOZA Pit House.

Can I use MOZA Pit House with a Logitech wheel?

No. Pit House is made for MOZA hardware. Use the maker's app for the wheel you own.

Does the app affect console compatibility?

No. The app runs on a PC. Console support is stated in the wheel's listing and on the maker's compatibility list.

Which app has more settings?

The number of settings depends on the wheel model and the software version. Compare the stated details of the wheels, not the apps.
