Inside the mBooster Active Pedals: Technology and Key Features
Introduction
The latest release in MOZA’s performance lineup has pushed the boundaries of what sim racing pedals can deliver. The mBooster Active Pedal features a fully motorized force feedback system that accurately responds to in-game telemetry, recreating ABS pulses, traction control engagement, and subtle engine vibrations through your foot.
Beyond immersion, its internal technology introduces measurable performance advantages. For example, the active motor generates variable resistance based on braking force, surface grip, or car setup, which converts virtual telemetry into physical sensations. Additionally, the pedal communicates detailed feedback to the driver, allowing subtle cues like brake lock-ups and traction loss to be felt instantly. Such feedback helps drivers adjust inputs quicker with greater accuracy and improves consistency as well as lap times.
The mBooster is a Game-Changer
What truly sets the mBooster apart is how it replaces static hardware with an adaptive, intelligent control system. Traditional load-cell pedals only measure pressure, but the mBooster actively responds to it. The pedals simulate real mechanical feedback found in professional racing cars and allows the driver to feel the exact moment their tires reach limit of grip. These features make every lap more precise and every braking zone more predictable. Moreover, the introduction of software-controlled resistance and telemetry-based feedback represents a large shift in pedal technology in general. Instead of tuning springs and dampers manually, drivers can finally tune pedal feel digitally through MOZA Pit House. Adjusting travel, response curve, or damping are now instant, allowing racers to adapt their setups to different cars or driving styles in mere seconds.
In short, the mBooster changes the game by turning a passive input device into an active communication channel between driver and simulator. It gives sim racers access to the same type of dynamic pedal feedback that professional drivers rely on in real cars, setting a new benchmark for control, realism, and performance.
Engineering and Build Quality
The mBooster Active Pedal is, like most MOZA products, engineered with aviation-grade materials. The general appearance indicates its high quality and attention to detail. Internally, the pedal is built around dual 200 kg load-cell sensors and a 21-bit high-resolution magnetic encoder, which deliver ultra-precise detection of pedal pressure and movement. Additionally, the drive system uses a high-torque motor and a ball screw in a closed, rail-free architecture.
The mBooster Active Pedal is designed to be paired with the CRP2 Pedals to create either a two-pedal setup or an upgraded three-pedal system. It replaces the stock brake pedal on the CRP2 base plate, or can be mounted with an optional extension plate for a more stable and aesthetically pleasing installation.
Overall, its internal design reduces mechanical friction and allows the pedal to actively generate feedback effects such as ABS pulsation, engine vibration, and traction control engagement. Thanks to its engineering, the mBooster operates quietly (as little as 44 dB under load) and exhibits minimal flex even under heavy braking.
MOZA Pit House
As mentioned before, the pedal can easily be adjusted through the MOZA Pit House application. Within the software, users can modify travel distance, pressure sensitivity, damping level, and resistance curve. These adjustments can be made in real time, allowing drivers to instantly feel differences while refining their setups.
MOZA Pit House also allows the CRP2 Pedals to switch between throttle, brake, or clutch modes with one click. This versatility makes it easy to configure the pedal set for different cars or racing disciplines without physically changing hardware components. For example, a driver can create a high-resistance, short-travel brake profile for GT racing and then swap to a softer, progressive curve for rally driving in just a few seconds. Another major advantage of the mBooster and CRP2 combination is how easily they integrate within the software; both can be tuned and synchronized through a single interface, giving complete control over pressure curves, pedal balance, and overall feel.
Additionally, ABS pulsation, traction control vibration, and engine feedback can be independently adjusted in strength and frequency. This level of customization gives drivers control over how much feedback they want to feel through the pedal and allows them to balance comfort with immersion. Together, these features make the MOZA Pit House software an integral part of the mBooster system. It transforms what could have been a static piece of hardware into a flexible, adaptive tool that evolves with each driver’s style and preference.
Ability to Emulate Real-World Driving
Through its active motorized feedback system, the mBooster emulates the forces a driver would feel inside a race car, such as brake pressure buildup, tire grip variation, and ABS activation. These effects are not artificial vibrations, but actual physics-based feedback generated directly from in-game telemetry. The result is a pedal that feels connected to the car rather than to the computer.
When braking at the edge of grip, the CRP2 Load Cell Pedals, when paired with the mBooster, communicate that threshold precisely, allowing the driver to ease pressure naturally instead of relying solely on visual or auditory cues. This realistic feedback loop enhances muscle memory and builds consistency, translating into better control and faster lap times. For those transitioning from track driving to simulation, the familiarity is immediate. Every press of the pedal feels purposeful.

Conclusion
The MOZA mBooster Active Pedals represent a major step forward in sim racing technology. The combination of active motorized feedback, precision load-cell sensing, and software-driven tuning gives drivers an unprecedented level of control and realism. When paired with MOZA’s CRP2 Pedals, the mBooster reaches its full potential.
The mBooster replaces the CRP2’s standard brake pedal, or can be added as an upgrade for those who prefer a two-pedal configuration. The CRP2 pedals handle throttle and clutch duties with smooth, consistent inputs, while the mBooster brakes with active feedback that mirrors real-car dynamics. Together, they create a cohesive, high-performance pedal system that brings unmatched realism into any sim rig!
