HORI has announced plans for a new Switch 2 racing wheel stylized after Mario Kart World, which has been officially licensed by Nintendo. Based on retailer listings, it’s slated for March 23, 2026.
While Mario Kart World is advertised here, it’ll work with other racing games, including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Additionally, based on the product description, it’s compatible with the original Nintendo Switch as well as its OLED model even though that’s not prominent in the advertising.
Getting into the product a bit more, it’s an 11-inch full-sized wired racing wheel (8.6-inch if you go with the mini version) and pedal set. It features onboard controls and programmable buttons. It even has a quick handling mode and a hold function.
Here’s the official product description:
Go big in racing with the HORI Mario Kart Racing Wheel Pro Deluxe for Nintendo Switch 2. The larger deluxe version of the Racing Wheel Pro is ideal for Mario Kart World, and compatible with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and other racing game titles. The ergonomic wheel design with textured rubber grips, pedals and paddles, and convenient onboard controls are built to create an immersive racing experience. Adjust the Dead Zone and 7 levels of sensitivity for smoother handling. Switch between 270- and 180-degree steering outputs. Assign functions to the programmable buttons with ease. Includes the C button for GameChat.
