As a racing wheel, it gets the job done with Switch and PC compatibility.
Still, as a kid-friendly racing wheel, it more than gets the job done.
But is it worth considering for those looking for a new racing wheel in general?
Well, its relatively low price tag makes it a decent option for first-time buyers.
Its comparable to Horis own Apex wheel ($119.99 / 99.99).
Having been officially licensed by Nintendo, it bears the iconic Mario M in the center of the wheel.
The wheel is quite robust in terms of buttons, too.
A handy Assign button also lets you map custom inputs on the fly.
If not for the flip-out footrest, the pedal base would be prone to shifting under your weight.
Youve got two options for clamping the wheel to a flat surface.
The five included suction cups, on the other hand, simply dont get the job done.
However, they were still extremely slippery and offered little purchase for the surfaces I tested on.
While competent on PC, then, I cant really say the same for the wheels namesake.
Its just not very well suited toMario Kart 8 Deluxeon Nintendo Switch.
Fortunately, the wheel is compatible with the game out of the box, with no control fiddling necessary.
However, the simple act of turning and drifting just didnt feel right in the fast-paced kart racer.
It is compatible with a wide variety of Switch racing games, though.
Should I buy the Hori Mario Kart Racing Wheel Pro Deluxe?

The pedals can be a little stiff, but its nonetheless a great mid-range option for consoles and PC.
But its definitely something to keep in mind if youre buying for a younger gamer.
