Multi-function Stalkscolumn stalks: 28 programmable switches, auto-cancelling turn signals

A cab starts at the column stalk

The MOZA Multi-function Stalks are a column stalk module that sits between the base and the wheel and adds what a sim usually lacks on long hauls and public roads: indicators, wipers, lights and cruise control under your fingers. MOZA specifies authentic car-grade components for the module, so the throws and detents feel like a cab rather than a gaming accessory. There are 28 programmable switches in total. The turn signals cancel themselves once the turn is finished, exactly as in a normal car — a small thing that stops feeling small very quickly on a multi-hour run. The mounting bracket is high-strength steel, the extension rod is aluminium alloy, and the fasteners disappear under magnetic plates once installed, so the assembly reads as one piece. The module works with every MOZA base from R3 to R21, provided the base has front mounting holes; third-party bases are supported with optional brackets. Standard and inverted mounting are both catered for, and you can connect straight to a PC over USB Type-C with no base at all. Dimensions are 411 × 127 × 152 mm and it weighs 700 g.

   Automotive-grade components

   MOZA builds the module around automotive-grade levers, dials and buttons. You notice the difference at once: the stalk has clearly defined detents, the switching force is even, and the click is short and dry. In a sim, where you spend most of your time holding the wheel and operating everything else blind, tactile clarity beats any amount of backlighting.

   28 switches under your fingers

   The module carries 28 programmable switches: indicators, a headlight lever, a multi-mode wiper lever and a separate cruise control lever. That is enough to take almost every routine command off the keyboard and stop you hunting for a key in the middle of a manoeuvre. Functions are assigned in the game's own control settings.

   The indicator cancels itself

   Auto-cancelling repeats how a real car behaves: finish the turn and the lever springs back to neutral by itself. On short stints it is a pleasant detail; on a long haul it removes the constant background check of "did I remember to switch that off". A small thing, and exactly what separates an accessory from a proper control.

   Fasteners hidden under magnets

   Once installed, the screws are covered by magnetic plates and all that remains visible is the body and the levers. The bracket is high-strength steel, the extension rod aluminium alloy, and both standard and inverted mounting are supported, so the position can be matched to the geometry of your rig. The plates also keep dust out of the mechanism.

   With a MOZA base or straight to the PC

   The module is designed for every MOZA base from R3 to R21 that has front mounting holes. Earlier R16 and R21 units without those slots are the exception, and MOZA sells a separate adapter plate for them. Third-party bases are handled with optional brackets, and if you prefer you can plug it straight into a PC over USB Type-C and use it with no base at all.
