The N64 Controller for Switch can be connected to the PC via USB-C and Bluetooth, but only work as a generic DirectInput controller and requiring the use of a XInput wrapper (see XInput wrappers) for games that only use the XInput API. These have reworked the N64’s original controller design and have improved button placement, allowing some players to have faster reaction times and not cause fatigue on their hands.
