Nintendo Switch Pro Controller Works With PC

By Joe Skrebels

The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller will work with Bluetooth-enabled PCs, a feature Nintendo has not mentioned previously.

As demonstrated by YouTuber DreWoof, the Pro Controller can be synced with a PC via the Windows Bluetooth Settings menu. IGN has independently verified this with its own controller.

However, the controller currently cannot sync with a PC using a USB-C connection (and it also cannot be charged through USB-C while using the Bluetooth connection).

DreWoof has also tested the controller with other devices and programs - Android devices will apparently pair with the controller, but input can be laggy. Steam Big Picture will notionally also work with the controller, but certain games will not function depending on the controller input style supported.

The Pro Controller is just one of many, many Switch accessories coming with the console's release this week - we have a complete buyer's guide to help you sort through it all.
