I'm wondering if a wireless Xbox controller would work. It's what I use with Apple TV without issue. Button layout is close enough (runs to living room to compare Xbox controller to Switch Pro...), in fact they're basically identical.

OTOH, I haven't tried the Switch Pro controller with anything else but a Switch, so maybe it can be made to work? (EDIT: just tried it: my Mac connects to the Switch Pro via BT, haven't actually tried it, 'cuz damned work is in the way.)

It would but the N64 controller's layout is unique and it's more intuitive to play games on the original controller.
Thanks for the correction. Of course as someone without an N64, I went with "sure, that Dvorak keyboard will be recognized!" without checking if it's actually fit for purpose.
