YouTube user Drewoof has gotten his hands on the controller early, and shows how the controller works through a Bluetooth connection. He's also released another video in which he briefly explains how to connect the controller.

Drewoof shows it working with the Dolphin emulator (used for GameCube and Wii games), but it should also work for any game with gamepad support, he says. "It works with Steam Big Picture as well", Drewoof clarifies.
