Both the left and right Joy-Con controllers, as well as the optional 'Pro' controller accessory, are all compatible with macOS.
The Pro gamepad is a traditional controller with two joysticks, four face buttons, a D pad, and four shoulder buttons. It charges via USB-C and has a small Bluetooth pairing button next to the charging port atop the controller.
The JoyCon gamepads connect to and detach from the sides of the Nintendo Switch tablet. When separated, they can be secured with a plastic accessory that adds two top buttons, as well as a secure wrist strap.
The Joy-Cons can only connect to macOS as individual controllers. That means that even when attached to the Switch controller dock for a two-joystick experience, macOS does not recognize them as one controller.
While on their own they are diminutive and lacking a second joystick, they do make for formidable miniature controllers, managing to fit a whopping 10 buttons along with the joystick.
Pairing mode for the Joy-Con controllers can be achieved by holding the pairing button located atop the connection groove where the controller snaps into the Switch tablet.

The Joy-Con controllers are identified as '(L)' and '(R)' models, while the traditional controller is the 'Pro Controller.'
Unlike macOS, iOS does not have an open Bluetooth specification, and the Nintendo Switch controllers are not Made for iPhone certified, so they will not work with iOS games, nor tvOS.
Nintendo's new Switch Pro controller can actually be used to natively play PC games--but only via Bluetooth.
A PC will actually recognize a Switch Pro controller when hooked up via USB Type-C, however you can't actually play any games over the protocol. But if you pair the Switch Pro controller to your PC via Bluetooth, you can play games on PC or Mac. It even works on Android devices.
But there is one caveat: the Switch Pro is DirectInput not XInput, meaning it may not work in some games that were made for XInput controller mapping, such as The Witcher III: Wild Hunt.
One principal drawback is that the Switch Pro loses its Bluetooth connection when connected to a PC via USB Type-C So this means you can't actually charge the battery while you're playing PC games over Bluetooth. However since the Switch Pro controller has 40 hours of battery life, this shouldn't be a big deal.
