While it may be overpriced at £65/$70, the Pro Controller for Nintendo Switch just had a nice bit of value added. According to a video posted by YouTuber DreWoof – later verified by reputable outlets – the Pro Controller is capable of native compatibility with PC. Sadly, the controller won’t connect – or even charge – via USB-C, but it does work, natively, using Bluetooth. The same method can be used to connect the gamepad to other devices, such as Android smartphones and tablets. The pad also works using Windows DirectInput.
While the controller only works with a handful of Steam games, and can be laggy on other platforms, DreWoof has demonstrated that it does work with Dolphin – the premier PC emulator for Nintendo Gamecube, Wii, and Wii U games – by playing Super Smash Bros. Melee. The Wii U Pro Controller was also compatible with PC and has become the controller of choice for Dolphin users. Given the price of the Switch iteration, the Wii U version – which is not just cheaper, but much more aesthetically pleasing – is likely to retain its position, but it’s good to know that the new Pro Controller works with PC also.
The Nintendo Switch is out tomorrow (3rd March), priced £279.99.
