MOZA Racing MH16 Flightstick

MOZA Racing released a replacement handle for flight simulators in 2025. The company is historically known for direct drive racing simulator equipment, and the flight controller line is a relatively new area where the manufacturer has brought its approach to material quality. The MH16 is styled after a classic fighter jet control stick — without being tied to a specific aircraft model, which sets it apart from licensed replicas like the F-16 or F/A-18 offered by competitors.

The body is made entirely of aviation-grade aluminum alloy with automotive paint coating — this provides a realistic weight in hand, wear resistance, and temperature stability during prolonged use. It is crucial to note: the MOZA Racing MH16 Flightstick is a grip, not a standalone device — it is mounted on a separately purchased compatible base through standard mounting, ensuring simple plug-and-play connectivity.

The construction is modular: additional switch modules connect to the handle via connectors, eliminating internal wiring and allowing functional elements to be added or removed for specific simulators. It features a set of programmable inputs — all controls can be configured in the proprietary MOZA Cockpit Control Software, where custom combinations can be created. As a hat switch, it uses a quality 8-position ALPS module, with main buttons also based on switches from this Japanese manufacturer, providing a clear tactile response and ensuring a long service life. The MOZA Racing MH16 stands out with its aviation-grade aluminum construction, modular design for customizable setups, and high-quality ALPS switches for a superior tactile experience and durability.
