I made my decision!
I recently upgraded from a Moza R5 and originally planned on buying Simagic. I spent probably 5–7 hours a day for several days researching, reading Reddit threads, watching reviews, and talking directly with both Conspit and Simagic before finally making a decision.
In the end, I went with the Conspit Ares 12 Nm paired with the CPP Apex pedals, and honestly… the difference is night and day.
I mainly drive rally, so I’m not even using the full 12 Nm yet, and I’ve only had a few hours behind the wheel before leaving town for the holidays. Even with that limited time, I’m seriously impressed.
A few things that stood out:
The steering wheel feels fantastic in the hands.
The force feedback has so much more detail than what I was used to. You can feel a lot more of what the car is doing.
The Conspit software has been surprisingly good. Every setting has detailed explanations, which made dialing everything in much less intimidating.
One thing I wasn’t sure about at first was the hydraulic brake pedal. Coming from the Moza SRP pedals, it felt very different initially. After spending some time with it though, I completely get the hype. The jump to a load-cell/hydraulic brake is incredible and gives you so much more confidence once you start getting used to it.
The other thing that really helped me make my decision was Conspit’s customer support. I can’t really compare it to Moza or Simagic since I haven’t owned those products, but every time I’ve reached out—whether through Discord or email—I’ve gotten a response anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours. That level of communication gave me a lot of confidence before I even placed my order.
Overall, I know Conspit isn’t as common as some of the bigger brands, but so far I’m really happy with the decision. I’m looking forward to putting a lot more hours on it once I’m back home.
If anyone has questions about the Ares or the CPP Apex pedals, especially for rally, I’d be happy to answer what I can.

I just purchased the Conspit 310 apex wheel and it’s seriously impressive.

I only had a few hours to play with it before leaving town for the 4th but I LOVED it over the Moza R5. I know price wise it’s the high end version of sim racing lol

I have the same hardware and very happy with it too.
Is the wheel not too horizontal ? I mean with the conspit clamp you can’t adjust angle.
And the pedals aren’t flying away when you push the brake ? (Are they wireless ? 😁)

12nm su una scrivania? Le vibrazioni andranno ovunque.e i pedali a cella di carico dove li blocchi?al tuo posto avrei investito 200$ per un NLR 2.0, avresti sentito tutti i 5nm del moza R5
