These are the Nintendo wheel accessories for the Nintendo Switch Joycon controllers. They come in a pack of two. A Joycon fits snugly in the centre of the wheel.While not 100% necessary to enjoy racing games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Switch, they do make the game 'easier' to play when using the motion controls. By 'easier' I mean probably more on a psychological level (i.e. 'Look at me! I'm driving a funny little go kart with a real steering wheel, just like a big boy!') rather than on any practical level. It's interesting that a small round piece of plastic can have such an impact, but there you go.The wheel has three major drawbacks.1)

These are not a good fit for adult hands. If you only want them for Mario Kart and you're happy to play with motion controls and auto accelerate on then they're OK. They're sturdy and they hold the Joy-Cons well. The shoulder buttons make good contact with the Joy-Con buttons although there's a little more travel to them than I'd like.If you're looking for something more versatile then I recommend getting a set of Joy-Con grips instead. I bought the Amazon Basics grips and am pleasantly surprised at how comfortable they are.

Bought these to use for Mario Kart 8 on Nintendo Switch and we absolutely love them! Made the game so much easier especially as the buttons at the top of the original Joycons are quite small, and this provides larger buttons for easier game play. It’s a shame you can’t actually steer the wheel as you used to in the Nintendo Wii game, but that’s a Nintendo Switch design fault and not a fault with these steering wheels. Overall easier game play and we did enjoy! Can be used for every game.

£14 for what is essentially two pieces of plastic is a little steep, but for me it's worth it. The wheel gives the Joy-Con some bulk and bigger trigger buttons. I find this more comfortable than playing with the Joy-Con alone and in fact I still use the accessory to play Mario Kart with my son even though I don't use the motion controls. For my son, having a wheel seems to help with the motion controls a little bit.Over all, completely unnecessary and expensive, but for me worth it.

Be aware these are quite diddy for adults, still very functional and add an additional element of fun to the game. Perfect size for kids or small-handed folk to use, lightweight and seem robust. Joy-con controllers slot in and out of these comfortably but never feel like sliding out mid-game thankfully.These steering wheels have dedicated L/R buttons too.Not sure how much damage they could do if you fling one in disgust after being blue-shelled on the final lap however!

I agree with other reviews that they are small but my hands aren't that big I only got these as spares as we own the Mario and Luigi wheels which by the way are way bigger so if you need bigger wheels I highly recommend them. I think these are decent value and would probably do well for children or small handed adults. I mostly prefer to play with two joycons in the grip without using tilt controls so it doesn't bother me that these are small.

What a fabulous little product! After years of playing Mario Kart on various devices with my son, I am finally able to stay on the road with this fabulous little steering wheel. The coloured controllers fit into the middle of the wheel and you use it just like a steering wheel. We never had these with his WiiU so this is a revelation to me as a parent and if Rainbow Road brought dismay in the past, well all I can say is bring it on...!!!

I’d recommend these if you have Mario Kart. I was a bit sceptical about using the controllers as steering wheels as the last console I’ve owned was the 1st Nintendo Wii where the controllers (although ground breaking at the time) weren’t responsive enough for the game. But these new controllers with the Nintendo Switch are on a different level, so if the kids rope me into a game I’ll default to the steering wheel

I brought these to go with my sons switch for when he is playing Mario kart, I was surprised with how small these are when I removed them from the box, however I do not have the smallest of hands and can use these with no problems at all.It is very easy to install the joy con into the wheel accessory and takes seconds to do.Overall these work great and my son loves them.

These wheels are a must have if you plan to get Mario Kart for the switch. The wheels fit well in your hands (better than the fiddly joy-cons at least) and greatly improve the access to the shoulder buttons.As these are official Nintendo products the little extra you spend you get back with the well designed shape and matching design. I couldn't recommend these more.

I brought these alongside the Marino kart 8 game and I’m so glad that I did. Using the wheel makes it feel a lot more like you are actually driving the kart and is extremely comfortable to hold. The joy con controllers fit perfectly inside the slot and come out very easily. The design has been perfectly moulded to your hand to make it very easy to play the game.

Bought for my 6 year old daughter's birthday to pair with the Mario Kart 8 Nintendo Switch game. She loves to play with the wheel joy cons for this driving game, it gives a great feel and adds a fun little touch to the game. They are great for little hands to use because there's a lot to grab on to, highly recommend for a great gaming experience!

The perfect companion for MarioKart, but the quality of the unit is a little lacking in places. It’s solid, which I imagine is good for people with kids, but inserting the joycon feels a bit loose. There’s no lock-in and I imagine that, over time, the joycon may just fall out. Otherwise, good sizing for all hands and nice & light.

Got these wheels for the release of Mario Kart so the younger kids could get involved. I have a 4 year old and his 5 year old cousin playing with these and along with the auto pilot features of MK8 makes for a very accessible experience for everyone. Also it's two additional ways to play so split screen is available from the off.

The Switch's versatile 'Joycons' can be used in horizontal mode without the need for add ons but their small size can make them uncomfortable for adult hands.The wheel gives you something to hold on to making the experience more enjoyable and the built in shoulder buttons are easier to use than those on the Joycon alone.
