Master Your Mario Kart Game with the Ultimate Racing Wheel Pro Deluxe for Serious Players
Hori Mario Kart Racing Wheel Pro Deluxe: One-Minute Review
The Hori Mario Kart Racing Wheel Pro Deluxe is a great gift option for younger gamers, particularly those who are into racing games on the Nintendo Switch. As a budget-friendly wheel, it performs well, albeit lacking in features compared to more expensive options. While it may not be the most impressive racing wheel out there, it still gets the job done for a kid-friendly experience.
As for those looking for a new racing wheel, the relatively low price tag makes it a decent option for first-time buyers. The compatibility with PC and Nintendo Switch means you won’t be limited in terms of game choices. If you’re okay with the Mario aesthetic, which I think is quite nice, you’ll need to accept a lack of features. Build quality takes a hit, particularly with the wheelbase and pedals. There’s no force feedback, which might be a disappointment for those seeking a more immersive experience. The limited 270-degree turning angle also makes it unsuitable for serious racing simulations.
I found myself getting frustrated with the wheel, even for younger players, as it doesn’t quite cut it for play with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It lacks the pin-sharp responsiveness needed for fast-paced kart racing, and I yearned for one of the best Nintendo Switch controllers instead.
