HORI, the respected Japanese peripheral manufacturer, has officially announced the upcoming Mario Kart World Racing Wheel for Nintendo Switch 2.
This new accessory, designed with input from Nintendo and carrying official licensing, is tailored for both casual and competitive fans of Mario Kart and other racing titles on the Switch platform.
According to retail listings, the Mario Kart World Racing Wheel is scheduled for launch on March 23, 2026, and is now available for pre-order from leading retailers. The Mario Kart World Racing Wheel delivers an authentic racing experience with its full-sized, 11-inch wired wheel.
For gamers seeking a smaller setup, HORI will also offer an 8.6-inch mini version.
The package includes a responsive pedal set, onboard controls, and multiple programmable buttons, making it adaptable for various driving styles.
The accessory is engineered to support not only the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, but also the original Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Switch OLED model, extending its compatibility across multiple generations of Nintendo hardware. Highlighting its versatility, HORI’s new racing wheel is optimized for Mario Kart World but will also work seamlessly with other popular racing titles including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
The wheel's ergonomic design boasts textured rubber grips for comfort during extended play sessions.
Players can further personalize their experience by adjusting features like the Dead Zone and choosing between seven sensitivity levels for enhanced handling precision.
Users can also switch between 270- and 180-degree steering output to suit individual preferences and gameplay requirements.
Notably, the racing wheel includes a dedicated C button for GameChat, providing convenient in-game communication options. A company spokesperson described the Mario Kart World Racing Wheel Pro Deluxe as the 'ideal choice for both Mario Kart and racing game enthusiasts who want immersive, customizable gameplay.' HORI’s commitment to quality is demonstrated by the sturdy construction, responsive pedals and paddles, and thoughtful button mapping features which simplify gameplay customization. HORI has a proven track record of developing high-quality gaming peripherals, having previously released the Racing Wheel Pro series for Nintendo platforms.
The addition of the officially licensed Mario Kart World design further cements the brand’s presence among Nintendo's core audience.
The new accessory is set to enhance the experience of Mario Kart World on Nintendo Switch 2, as well as other prominent racing games on the platform. Pre-orders for the HORI Mario Kart World Racing Wheel are currently available through online retailers.
