Hori's Mario Kart Racing Wheel Pro gets a Nintendo Switch 2 edition

Hori has launched a new version of its Mario Kart Racing Wheel Pro. Available in Deluxe and Mini sizes, the new racing wheel is made for the Nintendo Switch 2 and its Mario Kart World launch title, but also works with the Nintendo Switch/Switch OLED and other racing titles.

The Mario Kart Racing Wheel Pro Deluxe is the larger model with an 11-inch full-sized racing wheel and pedals. On the other hand, the Mario Kart Racing Wheel Pro Mini has an 8.6-inch wheel along with smaller pedals. Although both wheels have textured rubber grips, ZL and ZR buttons, programmable buttons, and a dedicated C button for accessing game chat, the button layout is different.

Other distinguishing features of the Deluxe model are its quick handling mode that allows users to switch the maximum steering output from 270° to 180°, and adjustable dead zone. Both versions of the Hori Mario Kart Racing Wheel Pro also have a hold function which works in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. This works by pressing and holding the ZL button.

Hori ships both wheels with a 9.8 feet USB-A cable, however, while the Mario Kart Racing Wheel Pro Deluxe can be mounted with suction cups or clamp, the Mini version can only be mounted with suction cups.

The Mario Kart Racing Wheel Pro for Nintendo Switch 2 is available to pre-order now on Amazon ahead of the release on March 23. The Deluxe model is priced at $129.99 while the Mini model is sold for $79.99.
