What separates them
- Price$699vs$649.99
The T818 Black Edition costs $49.01 less than the R21.
- Torque21 Nmvs10 Nm continuous
These two do not quote torque the same way. MOZA does not say whether the R21's 21 Nm is peak, holding, or continuous. Thrustmaster states continuous for the T818 Black Edition. The figures are printed as published, and we do not rank one against the other, because that would be arithmetic on unlike measurements.
