OK, here are some impressions on the 3DS wheel. I've been using it since launch day and it's my preferred way to play Mario Kart 7, and pretty much my preferred grip for many other games. It makes the 3DS more comfortable to hold for long periods of time.The most important part of the design for me are the bits that stick out at the bottom, the "legs" as I will call them. These legs actually give the last three fingers (those other than your index finger and thumb) on each hand something to hold on to, and prevent the corners of the device sticking into your palms. It totally removes the pain issue as well as the possibility of getting pins and needles - at least in my use.The shoulder triggers are a nice bonus,and have almost as much movement as the standard triggers - definitely no more movement than the standard as they simply press the standard triggers down mechanically. They are hinged towards the middle of the unit which means they feel more responsive towards where your fingers are (see photos). They have a different feel and size, which can take a small amount of getting used to.The circumference of the unit is good. All in all the wheel a couple of cm less wide compared to the Wii wheel (see photos). The thickness of the grip itself is slightly fatter than the Wii wheel. The curve of the grip is rounded on the back side of the wheel, and flat on the front.You put the 3DS into the wheel shoulder buttons first, and there is some soft rubber to make the unit fit perfectly just above the legs. All in all, it's excellent. Everything you would expect from an officially licenced peripheral, and up to Hori's high standards.One last thought: I think this makes the game feel more like a home console game rather than a handheld, which is great.

Bought this wheel for our seven year old to compliment the 3DS Mario Cart Game. Previous reviews did say that it was a great addition to the 3DS when playing any game.How true!My son will not remove the wheel from the 3DS. He uses it for all his game play of any game and creative projects.Having held the wheel I can understand why. It does not add any noticable weight or bulk but makes the 3DS more tactile and a pleasure to hold. I have since picked up his standard DS lite which felt less comfortable to hold and a less relaxing experince without the wheel. (Which will not fit the DS lite)In short,its a brilliant addition and everybody who has picked it up shares this observation.The 3DS is held onto the wheel purely by four rubber mounts at each corner of the housing into the wheel and removing it takes but a second. Saying that, there is no suggestion that it would EVER fall out of the wheel. I recommend you buy one today.

Lets start with, the 3DS is not the most comfortable hand held gaming device out but with this device it makes them long gaming sessions comfortable.After a couple of hours of gaming my hands normally start to hurt/strain due to my hands being in a awkward position holding the 3ds but attach this cool device and it makes the 3ds feel like a gaming controller. Plus the L + R buttons are alot easier to use so again makes gaming more comfortable.If you just use your 3ds at home (like I do atm) then I would highly recommend but if you like to use/take your 3ds on the move then this probably wouldn't be practical as its makes the 3ds bulky.Anyway I've been keeping a eye out on this for awhile but with £9.99 price tag I couldn't bring myself to buy it.But at its current price of £2.99, its great value for a great product! *would recommend*

As other reviewers have said this wheel makes playing any other game on the 3DS alot easier, minimises hand cramps that I occasionally get from playing as it is comfortable to hold and grips the 3DS nicely.For Mario Kart 7 gameplay it is great (note to anyone you have to be in first person view for the gyro function to work! It does say this in the manual but I don't tend to read those)I do find using this feature alot trickier as it takes some getting used to but it is alot of fun and the kart does handle more realistically than simply using the analogue button. The one downside is that when using the gyro feature with the wheel it makes 3D gameplay quite hard to see as you need to be straight on,but that's really nothing at all as the 3D feature can easily be switched off!I would advise any Mario Kart fan to get this!

This "wheel" is nothing more than a moulded plastic holder for the 3DS which makes it easier to "turn" the wheel while playing Mario Kart. Of course, the screen turns with it, so be prepared to see the screen at an angle.But Mario Kart is not all it's good for. I've got quite big paws, and the 3DS is rather petite with hard edges and corners which dig into and irritate my hands. All too often I'd find myself knocking the shoulder buttons by mistake. The wheel makes it much more comfortable to hold the 3DS for extended periods while playing other games, and keeps the edges of my fingers away from the shoulder buttons.Of course, I could have bought a 3DS XL,but that's significantly more expensive and still has the hard edges and corners. This product is an ideal compromise.

Despite being branded with Mario Kart 7 this is one peripheral any 3DS owner with comfortability issues should invest in. The square shape and small shoulder buttons of the 3DS really gave me some trouble. From cramps in my fingers to edges that hurt my palm the 3DS was clearly not designed for someone with as big hands as me. I got this recommended by a friend and haven't looked back. Any problem I had with the system previously is now gone in terms of comfort. This beauty not only makes the 3DS nicer to hold but also makes the games play better because of the massive shoulder buttons.Strongly recommended!

Not sure why you'd bother using this a steering wheel (Especially as it's basically unusable with 3D switched on) but this is great for people with normal adult sized hands who find using the 3DS uncomfortable. The wheel makes the whole thing more like a 360 or PS3 pad and much more comfortable to use over a period of time. Well worth a tenner just for that.

If like me you get strain in your hands after using the 3DS this is a must have, not only is it useful for Mario Kart 7 as a gyro wheel but it makes other games more playable due to the way your hands wrap it and the re position of the L+R bumpers... Really comfortable piece of kit.. Full thumbs up from me

A very useful accessory for people who like playing Mario Kart from a first person point of view. It is combined with the 3DS' gyroscope and provides a more authentic first person racing experience. I definitely recommend getting it before it becomes obsolete due to the New 3DS.

Amazing Wheel!!! If you have Mario Kart 7 or any racer on your 3DS please use this baby. The handling is so much better than the regular thumbsticks. Also the wheel is light and very comfortable to hold. This is why I rate it 5 start out of 5 for quality.

This product is a must for mario kart fans. I have great fun using it. My four year old uses it all the time whatever game he is playing as it makes the 3ds easier for him to hold.
