Nintendo's premium controller for the original Switch ships with a single USB Type-C port at the top edge — same connector as the console itself, so the bundled USB-A-to-C cable doubles for both. There is no 3.5mm headset jack on the Pro Controller; wired chat audio has to go through the Switch console or a Bluetooth headset. Charging is a slow ~6 hours over the included USB-A-to-C cable (5V/1.5A typical), but a single charge lasts roughly 40 hours of play. Pairs to the Switch over its proprietary Joy-Con/Pro wireless protocol; Bluetooth HID was added on PC and macOS by community drivers and later by Apple/Google for accessibility use.
