Nintendo Switch Pro Controller Will Work on PC
It works through Bluetooth with no USB required.
The Nintendo Switch's Pro Controller has been confirmed to work with a PC through Bluetooth with no USB connection required.
User DreWoof created a video (via NeoGAF) showing the connection and the controller working with the Dolphin emulator for GameCube and Wii U games. He said that the pairing is a little odd and that there are several ways to do it, and he plans to create a new video to show how its done, along with an FAQ answering basic questions.
The video shows that he had it working rather smoothly with Super Smash Bros. Melee, but with the keys mapped for his comfort. He said the controller will also work with Steam Big Picture and anything that has gamepad support.
The controller sells for $69.99, and is currently listed as out of stock at several retailers. Given that we now know it works on PCs with Bluetooth capabilities, the versatility will make it even more valuable to gamers who like their Switch and desktops.

Hopefully it will compatible with everything like xbox one's controller

apparently not if the internet is to be believed... I guess with Steam's controller integration and some 3rd party tool you can get most things to work though. Even the XBone gamepad isn't 100% as compatible as the 360 gamepad when you start playing older stuff.
