Finally, the Nintendo Switch has been released, much to the anticipation of players. As we have said before, the Switch is special in that, it can be used as one whole block, or players can separate the handles on the side, and enjoy a gaming experience similar to that of the Wii. However, if you just want to enjoy gaming in the good old way, Nintendo also got you covered. There is an optional Nintendo Switch Pro controller, allowing you to play the game the old-fashioned way. Furthermore, that is not the only good side that this controller has!
That’s right, the Switch Pro controller can become your next favorite PC controller! That is because this controller uses bluetooth connection, it will be easily recognizable as an input device when you pair it with a PC running Windows. There are no confirmation about Mac yet, so Mac users are out of luck. You can see in the video below the simple process to pair it up with a PC, presented by YouTuber DreWoof. Basically, it is as easy as pairing any other bluetooth devices!
There have been other reports of this device’s compatibility with PC other than DreWoof as well. Overall, the general receptions have been really positive from different sources. Specifically, VentureBeat has called the Switch Pro controller “Nintendo’s best traditional gamepad yet”. So, if you buy a Nintendo Switch, consider purchasing the Pro controller as well, as it will be beneficial if you happen to have a PC.
Switch Pro controller: A worthwhile addition
With the compatibility with PC, the Switch Pro controller is surely a good addition to your purchase of Nintendo Switch. The Switch is already available at $300. Are you going to buy this console, and the controller?
