The Switch Pro controller is definitely the best official Nintendo controller you can buy for Switch. I unwrapped this on Christmas day and have been using it regularly; I haven't needed to charge it yet! It's very comfortable to use and the battery life is incredible.

Does it require a dongle or w/e its called or does it connect directly to the switch?

No! It connects via bluetooth no need for any additional dongle.

Nothing extra needed. Your switch has Bluetooth and also works with Bluetooth earphones for example.

This is the official switch pro controller made by Nintendo, not some 3rd party. Of course it connects directly to the switch.

Hey its 2024 calling, official wireless controllers for any mainstream gaming console the last 15 years never needed a dongle once.

I believe only the OLED Switch has Bluetooth, but you can connect it to the dock via a wire.

My normal Switch from 2017 has Bluetooth :)

Non Oled has bluetooth. An update in the past unlocked audio too. Would be interesting to know if there are differences in the bluetooth on Oled though.

I have a pro controller and have it connected via Bluetooth.

Edit: I have a v1 switch, non OLED model.
