HORI Mario Kart Racing Wheel Pro Mini for Nintendo Switch 2

The HORI Mario Kart Racing Wheel Pro Mini for Nintendo Switch 2 is an officially Nintendo-licensed racing wheel designed for Mario Kart World (and backward-compatible with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and other racing games).

It’s a compact, ergonomic wheel + pedal set with a fun Mario-themed design (red/blue colors, big “M” logo in the center).

Key Features

• Compact size: ~8.6-inch diameter wheel (smaller “Mini” version vs. the larger Pro Deluxe model).
• Controls: Textured grip, racing paddles (behind the wheel), programmable buttons (including a dedicated Item button with the Mario “M”), D-pad, face buttons, shoulder buttons (ZL/ZR), and more.
• Pedals: Separate pedal unit with accelerator and brake.
• Mounting: Suction cups for stability.
• Connectivity: Wired USB-A (long cable — wheel ~3m / 9.8 ft, pedals ~1.5m).
• Compatibility: Nintendo Switch 2, original Switch, and Switch OLED. Works great in handheld or docked mode.
• Extras: Assign functions to programmable buttons; includes a C button for GameChat (requires Nintendo Switch Online).

Price: Around $79.99 USD.

Release & Availability
It launched around late March 2026 alongside Mario Kart World. You can find it on the official HORI USA store, Amazon, Best Buy, and other retailers.

Reviews & Impressions (from Original Switch Version + Switch 2 Context)
The original Switch Pro Mini was praised for fun Mario Kart play but noted for toy-like plastic build quality (durable but not premium). It improved immersion over Joy-Cons or Pro Controller for casual racing. Expect similar feedback for the Switch 2 version — great for family/fun play, less ideal for serious sim racing.
