So it seems this may just refer to "official support" and the piece of news is at least misinformation-adjacent, but it does make me wonder if there is any forwards compatibility with the Pro Controller. There are plenty of solid alternatives for Switch 1 and that wasn't particularly picky about taking in third party devices.
Not sure if anybody has brought it up in the news deluge.
Yes it has Bluetooth support and, naturally, USB C.
It'll continue to take anything that supports those, and that'll include the switch 1 pro controller, since it supports those for other devices.
Even regular ass USB keyboards work with Switch. Usually not for control input but typing search terms in the e-Shop, for example.
