If you’re looking to find a second use for your Nintendo Switch Pro-Controller then you’re in luck. DreWolf on YouTube has very recently uploaded a video to his channel showing that the Pro-Controller will, without much hassle, sync to your PC via Bluetooth. Surprisingly you won’t need to use a USB cable to pair it up with your desktop.
Take a peek at his findings below:
Awesome! I was wondering about this.
As a PC Gamer (Who’s also getting a Switch), this makes me extremely happy :D
Microsoft and Nintendo have done good with their controllers, now if only Sony could release a PS4 Dualshock controller that works on PC without the stupid dongle.
I thought steam supported PS4 controllers?
It does but not wireless
inputmapper works for that with bluetooth
So basically you need added software to get the Dualshock working on PC?
Do you see what I mean?
Microsoft’s Xbox One S Controller and Nintendo’s Pro Controller don’t need added software to run, but Sony’s Dualshock 4 needs software to even run as well as a dongle to use it wirelessly.

||You don’t need a PC, all you need is Nintendo…||
||Embrace your fate given to you by High Command young one…||
But Steam though…
||No, your weakness does not amuse me…||
Does this mean I have to sacrifice a goat and the heart of unborn elephant?
||An Xbot and the cores of an Xbox…||
looks like the commander had another error. yes you need to join the master race
||Nintendo first, PC second…||
That’s how I’m rolling
Agreed. (casually hides ps2/ps3/ps4 and original xbox xD)
I used to build gaming PC’s in the old days, but it’s just not worth it anymore (to me that is)
Gaming on a console is sooooo convenient, having the devs funnel into your hardware instead of playing catchup and dealing with a lot of patches and network issues. (IDK if kids these days have to deal with the networking issues we did back when I PC gamed, but it was a pain in the ass!)
So. Don’t feel too bad. :)
Oh sweet , I’ll buy this rather than an Xbox controller . Win win in my situation
How awesome is that. I was wondering about this.
Okay, this totally changed my mind, I’m buying it! Not now, but after some time definitely
Sold!
I was thinking of leaving it out, since I’m getting another set of joycons, but this changes everything.
If only PC games would support HD rumble. I’m sure some modders can do that!
That’s real neato! I’ve been wanting a controller to play Steam games, so maybe I will be getting a pro controller after all.
ANYONE PLAYING PC WITHOUT GYRO hand in your gamer card you fake ass gamers
best traditional twin stick controller ever made compatable with pc HUGE NEWS
Hope it is easy to connect to android as well.
Crap. Now I have to decide which controller to use to game on my Surface Book with Performance Base.
The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, or the Moga Power controller.
IS THIS THE REAL LIFE?
Good, nice find.
I wonder if someone is working on getting the joycons to work on PC. Sure some features will need to be left out for now but it’s certainly possible.
I presume this also applies to Mac computers?
So I can play games on PC using it? Well if I ever get a PC game, I know what controller I’ll be using.
