Hori has introduced an updated version of its Mario Kart Racing Wheel Pro. This new wheel comes in two sizes: Deluxe and Mini. Designed for the Nintendo Switch 2 and its Mario Kart World launch title, it is also compatible with the Nintendo Switch/Switch OLED and various other racing games.
Specifications of the Models
The Mario Kart Racing Wheel Pro Deluxe is the bigger option, featuring an 11-inch full-sized racing wheel along with pedals. In contrast, the Mario Kart Racing Wheel Pro Mini has a smaller 8.6-inch wheel and correspondingly tiny pedals. Both models come with textured rubber grips, ZL and ZR buttons, programmable buttons, and a specific C button that lets you access game chat, but the arrangement of these buttons varies between the two.
Unique Features of the Deluxe Model
Among the unique traits of the Deluxe version is a quick handling mode which enables users to change the maximum steering output from 270° to 180°, plus an adjustable dead zone. Both variations of the Hori Mario Kart Racing Wheel Pro include a hold function that is useful in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. This function works by simply pressing and holding down the ZL button.
Hori includes a 9.8 feet USB-A cable with both wheels, but there’s a difference in mounting options. The Deluxe model can be attached using either suction cups or a clamp, whereas the Mini version is limited to suction cup mounting only.
