Gaming: Moza Ab9 Ffb Base + Mh16 Flightstick + Mtp Throttle Review 2026
Moza's flight sim gear is definitely not for first timers, but for those who want to elevate their virtual flying experience to new levels, it's absolutely ace. The force feedback is powerful and detailed, and while it takes some configuring to get right, the act of flying becomes a whole new game. You'll need to pay to play—but if you've got the cash, I highly recommend it.

If you're familiar with the world of simulation, then force feedback racing wheels are likely nothing new to you. Force feedback (FFB) flight sticks, on the other hand, are a much rarer find. A search around for current options reveals a small selection of boutique, "made in a shed" solutions that may well be excellent for flying, but usually come with prohibitively expensive price tags.
On the surface, Moza Racing's AB9 FFB base seems expensive. It's $499 by itself, and you'll need something like the Moza MH16 Flightstick to attach to it, lest you be left with a useless box. That'll set you back $149. You'll likely also want some throttle controls and switches, too, à la the Moza MTP Throttle for $329. Moza has provided me with all three (along with a $59 desk clamp for the base), and the total comes to $977 at current prices.
While that might seem like a lot of moolah to spend on a set of flight controls, compared to other force feedback solutions, it's actually surprisingly reasonable for a full setup. And let me be very clear right from the off: None of this equipment is designed for, nor priced for, the casual user.
Nope, we're firmly in flight sim enthusiast territory here, which leaves me a little out of my depth. I've reviewed quite a few flight sticks in my time, but most of them have been for the more casual end of the market. Everything about the Moza gear, though, screams overbuilt, granular, and professional.
