Quick summary· AI-generated
Baxter reviews the MOZA AB6, a $399 gear-driven flight stick bundle (base, stick, clamp included) with 6Nm peak torque and eight programmable buttons.

A detailed comparison between AB6 and AB9 helps readers decide which entry tier suits their needs.

I’m a sim racer and amateur racer with a passion for Motorsport, good racecraft and the technical and setup aspect of sim racing.
The MOZA AB6 is the cheapest consumer-class force feedback flight stick on the market – $399 USD for the base, the stick, and the desk clamp. That’s a sentence that wouldn’t have made sense a year ago. The previous floor for FFB was the AB9 at $499 base-only, or the much more expensive FFBeast / Brunner options if you needed the build commitment. MOZA dropped the AB6 in late 2025 with a clear pitch: bring force feedback to the entry budget. Gear-driven, 4.4Nm continuous torque, 6Nm peak combined, smaller footprint, full ecosystem compatibility. The first time I pulled the AB6 out of the box and put it next to the AB9 on the desk, the size difference was the first thing I noticed – it’s genuinely much smaller. The second thing I noticed was that the gear drive is audible. Both of those matter, in different ways. Here’s the full picture. If you’re still deciding whether force feedback is right for you at any tier, the force feedback for flight sim explainer covers the category before the product.
The MOZA AB6 Flight Simulator Bundle – base, MHG stick and desk clamp at $399 USD. Gear-driven, 6Nm peak. The cogging is audible on slow movements but the form factor and the eight programmable base buttons are genuinely impressive for the price.

What you get for $399
Three boxed components and a few accessories. The AB6 base, the MHG flight stick (MOZA’s bundled stick – a generic military-style grip), and the included desk clamp. Add a USB Type-B cable (yes, Type-B – I’ll come back to this), the standard accessories bag with hex keys and screws, and the manual. The bundle is genuinely complete from the box: plug it in, mount it, and you’re flying. The AB6 is most readily available direct from MOZA Racing (mozaracing.com) at the time of writing; third-party retailers cycle the bundle in and out of stock. Compare to the AB9 at $499 where you’re buying the base alone and then sourcing a stick separately at $149+ for the MH16. The AB6 bundle’s economics are aggressive on purpose.
