Cons

Who it suits
Mid force. 9 Nm is where most drivers settle, and it is enough to feel the front axle load without needing a heavy rig.
Which should you choose?
On force, the R9 is the stronger unit at 9 Nm. Remember that peak torque is a ceiling rather than a setting, and a rig that flexes wastes the extra output.
If you are on PlayStation 5, only the RS50 Base publishes support for it.
If you are on Xbox Series X|S, only the RS50 Base publishes support for it.
