Pro Compact controllers are aimed at more casual gamers who still want a touch of the professional, with a smaller, more comfortable design and slightly less customization options. You'll still have programmable buttons, trigger sensitivity control, and much more with the Pro Compact controllers, but the more dimunitive size can be a big plus for gamers who prefer portability, or if you just have smaller hands.
