HORI Mario Kart Racing Wheel Pro Mini for Nintendo Switch (Nintendo Switch)

Product Information

Not only do they look neat, they enhance Mario Kart 8 Deluxe gameplay with great grips to help you steer ahead of the competition.

Each steering wheel shows the Joy-Con battery life via the LED lights, so you'll have a heads up if your battery is getting low. Ensure that the course you set up does not put an unnecessary strain on the motor, as this may cause damage to it. If you plan on playing with a decent group of people, we recommend the Orzly Four-Pack so multiple people can play at once.

Play with a partner with these wheels that match the red and blue Joy-Cons, which feature ergonomic grips to keep your hands from getting tired during long sessions. The ability to remap any buttons, and change the dead zone/sensitivity to 7 different levels is nice. Like its big brother above, this mini version of the Hori-produced racing wheel is also an instant attention-getter with its Mario-themed colors; plus the smaller size also means that you'll save a few bucks. Alternatively, if you're looking for a more traditional racing wheel that connects directly to your console, you might also want to check out the officially licensed Mario Kart options from Hori.

While the kart is in use, the "gas" icon on the top-left corner of the screen will indicate the kart’s battery charge.But are there a levers for having a saw come out the side of your car, wiper blades, and changing the radio station?

You can easily plug this moderately-sized beast into the Switch via the USB port on the dock, and the only real drawback is that it has no force feedback to jolt your hands awake when you've taken a turn with too much speed behind you. We have the little "floating" wheel shells but they're just as happy holding a pro controller as the steering wheel. When using the previous wheels, I have often been thinking: "You know, individual Joy-Cons are pretty small. She also loves checking out new gaming accessories like iPhone controllers and has her ear to the ground when it comes to covering the next big trend. Whatever you go with, these steering wheels should provide a big improvement over the standard Joy-Cons.

It's a lot larger than many of the other steering wheel controllers out there, so it provides a more comfortable racing experience for adults and children alike. If you'd prefer a more subdued color scheme on your racing wheel, you can't go wrong with the all-around appeal of the PXN V3II.
