I'm not sure if it's due to the reported drifting issues, joy cons or my lack of skills, but I'm not very good at playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. With the use of this wheel accessory, Hori's skills improved to at least a passable level. At this price my pride and ego can now take a beating. Sarcasm aside, color and feel or something light but strong. I still have the Wii version and it still looks brand new. I'm sure this one will last just as long. Being able to use this accessory or not is useful because it is so easy to remove the joycon from it.
