The Nintendo Switch doesn’t have the deepest library of racing games, but if you’re looking to cruise around Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in style, you’ll want to take a closer look at the upcoming Hori Nintendo Switch Racing Wheel Pro Deluxe. The product will officially launch on May 12--but you can reserve your unit today, as it’s bound to be a popular item.

HORI Nintendo Switch Racing Wheel Pro Deluxe

$110

　　This full-size racing wheel offers a 270-degree turn radius, is highly adjustable, and includes all the standard Switch buttons on the face of the wheel. So if you get tired of using it to play Mario Kart, there’s nothing stopping you from using the racing wheel to play The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and cruise around Hyrule on horseback. Is it a coincidence this wheel launches the same day as Tears of the Kingdom? Probably, yes, but playing through the new Zelda game with racing wheel would be an interesting challenge run.

　　Preorder at Amazon

　　Like other Hori racing wheels for Switch, this product is officially licensed by Nintendo, so you know it’s built to higher standards than a lot of third-party accessories. You’ll also benefit from PC support, allowing you to head over to your battlestation and play Forza and other PC games with this budget-friendly steering wheel.

　　Two pedals and a mounting kit come with the Hori Racing Wheel, and (as usual) Amazon is offering a preorder price guarantee--so if the price drops between now and May 12, you’ll pay the lowest price. Nintendo doesn’t have the most robust selection of racing wheels, making this upcoming release fairly notable.

　　The Hori Nintendo Switch Racing Wheel Pro Deluxe costs $110 and launches May 12. You should also know that there are two existing Hori racing wheels with Mario Kart-branded designs. The full-size model is available for $100, while the smaller "Mini" version (ideal for kids) is $70.
