Use with PC platforms

Connecting USB-C cable will make the controller show up, but it will be unuseable this way. Controller has to be connected via Bluetooth 3.0 unless you use Steam Input or reWASD.
Connecting the controller[1]
  1. Make sure the controller is turned off, then hold the sync button next to charging port until lights start blinking from side to side.
  2. From PC, pair the new bluetooth device and select `Pro Controller` from the list.

Notes

Controller will keep flashing the led indicators from side to side even when fully connected and working when used with PC or any other device than Nintendo Switch.
To disconnect and shut down the controller, simply press the sync button once.
To connect the controller again, press any regular button on the controller.

Windows

BetterJoy allows the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller to be used with CEMU, Citra, Dolphin, Yuzu and as generic XInput. It also allows using the gyro to control mouse and remap the special buttons (SL, SR, Capture) to key bindings of your choice.
Custom application reWASD lets remap whole controller. Software gives advanced customization options eg. reassigning buttons to keyboard or mouse actions, macros, activate custom modes etc.

Custom configs for Switch Pro controller can be found in official Community Configs Library maintained by reWASD users.

DS4Windows

Because the ZR and ZL are buttons and not triggers it may be difficult to play games that make use of analog triggers.
Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR or higher required for wireless connection.
Motion sensors are supported.
LEDs cannot be controlled.
HD Rumble not used. Rumble acts as common one.
NFC not supported.

XInput wrapping

Acting as native DirectInput controller, it's possible to use any of the generic wrappers. See the controller article for those.

Chrome OS

This controller is "Plug and Play" on Chrome OS.
Doesn't support motion control and HD rumble.

Steam

Controller can be found in Supported Controller Database and it's correctly recognizable as the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller.
Full support of Steam Input including gyroscope and motion controls.
You can toggle "Use Nintendo Button Layout" option depending on whether you prefer the 𝗔𝗕𝗫𝗬 buttons to be mapped as they are on the Pro Controller or to be mapped like it's an Xbox 360 controller or Xbox Wireless Controller.

Steam Link compatibility

Works via USB and Bluetooth. Includes gyroscope and motion controls.[2]
Works without any drivers on any operating system that supports Steam.
Can be used just to send input from a controller to a PC. Go into Streaming options, hit 𝗬 and disable video and audio streaming.

Support In Games

Supported natively by a growing list of games, allowing the use of the controller and some/all of it supplementary features without any additional software installed.
Support for some controller features may be only available on certain systems. Refer to game-specific articles for details.

Games with motion control support

For a list of games, see List of games that support tracked motion controllers in non-VR gameplay.

Thanks to JoyShockMapper, Steam Input, reWASD application, gyro control can be remapped to mouse or right stick in any game.
Number of games which natively support motion controls is limited and gyro support is still not a PC standard.

Games with NFC support

Joy-Con Toolkit demonstrates how the NFC reader can be used on PC. NFC objects can be used to execute combos like activating cheats, changing game configuration or performing advanced combos like fatalities in Mortal Kombat games.
Pro Controller contains a near-field communication reader mostly used with Amiibo.
NFC reader support for PC games is still in development stage. See more.
See List of video games using NFC.
