Xkit's {RCM Clip} dongle + jig is $10!

[bundat]

As we were designed for thinking before speak, this dongle was designed for quick charging before use - not holding energy for long time. This dongle can't fly, speak, cook, think or hold energy because it was made for quick charging before use.

Dude are you high? Your arguments make ZERO sense.

Either way, as I said, this dongle is USELESS for AutoRCM users.
If you are on the go, your Switch (which is in AutoRCM) CAN'T charge the dongle.
If you do not have another gadget that can charge it (like a phone), then how will you charge it?

You can't.
NO OTHER DONGLE is useless in that scenario.
Let that sink in.

A dongle "made for quick charging before use" is like a cellphone that works only when it's plugged in to a wall charger.
It's a crippled piece of trash.

this dongle is USELESS for AutoRCM users

This dongle is useless for a user who can't charge before use - this is the exact statement.

We have to charge the Nintendo Switch also, otherwise the Nintendo Switch is useless.

You can charge ANY other dongle before going out the house.
And they will HOLD the charge for at least the entire day
(usually for a week or more even).

Same thing for the Switch.

While with this dongle, if you charge it before going out of the house, it will have NO CHARGE after a few minutes, not even an hour.

And since an AutoRCM Switch can't charge it, it will be useless unless you have another gadget to charge it with like a phone (and if I have to bring an extra cable and a phone, I'd just send the payload with my phone instead).

So in short:
this dongle is UNABLE TO DO something ALL OTHER DONGLES CAN DO.
You cannot deny this.

Yes, this dongle has limitation,
- we need to charge before use, no built in solar panel, no Jig holder, no Switch Cartridge form -
- but other dongles also have limitations -

what's the best dongle you are discussing about?

In my humble opinion,
- the best dongle could use BIN not UF2 -

UF2 is just the firmware, nothing special about it. Drag n Drop is kind of sweet to update it!
Else it will just point to for example start.bin (the payload). UF2 =/= the launch file.

I guess, UF2 is not so simple.

Example, I just drag & drop biskeydump.bin to the Christmas dongle as payload.bin & it will work.

It's the ONLY dongle with this "limitation".

The only reason I want a dongle is to revive my Switch (AutoRCM) when I'm outside the house. And not to have to bring any extra cables and gadgets like my phone (as I use a standalone smartwatch) or a powerbank.

MANY other people want a dongle for the same reason.

This dongle is useless for those who want it for that reason.

I don't care about using a dongle at home because I can use my PC.

I guess, UF2 is not so simple.

Example, I just drag & drop biskeydump.bin to the Christmas dongle as payload.bin & it will work.

In my humble opinion,

I agree, which is why I made a tool to convert .bin to .uf2 for the "perfect dongle" discussed earlier, here:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/samd-fusee-payload-launcher-v2.517731/page-4#post-8280815

Just drag-and-drop the .bin file to the program, and it gives you a .uf2 file you can drag-and-drop to the dongle.

With this tool, it's now a simple drag-and-drop as well.

 

[linuxares]

Well Mattfrog have made it easier, without converting stuff. It just drag-n-drop and rename. That is all.

 

[tataniko]

I made a tool to convert .bin to .uf2 for the "perfect dongle"

So, you are. It's big help for those who deal with the uf2. Thanks. But there is no perfect dongle at the moment. Dragon Injector is in hopeful situation but not perfect at all.

As family, we have many Switches & USB chargers, so Christmas dongle is good for us, we can charge before use.

 

[bundat]

But there is no perfect dongle at the moment.

It has no disadvantages for me.
- Drag and drop to update payload.
- Replaceable battery, so it won't die while I am outside, and my Switch is in RCM because it crashed (so it can't charge a dongle). No need for extra cables.

That's all I need.

Dragon Injector is in hopeful situation but not perfect at all.

DragonInjector WAS perfect... until Matinator discovered that the dongle can't be charged inside the game card slot, as it seems the game card communicates with the Switch in order to receive continuous power.

Now it's like any other dongle that charges via USB-C.
Now, the only advantage it has is the form factor, i.e. being able to be carried in the game card slot, but no longer also being charged inside.

Christmas dongle is good for us, we can charge before use.

And it's NO GOOD for "us" who can't charge before use.

i.e. with an AutoRCM Switch that crashed, with no extra cables, while on the go. Which is when you need a dongle the most.

 

[tataniko]

That's all I need.

One day,
when you will understand what I am talking to you,
that day you will don't know - what you need.

But this day is not that day. The Christmas dongle is for you.

 

[bundat]

One day,
when you will understand what I am talking to you

I'm still waiting for the day you understand what I'm saying, because you can't seem to get my point AT ALL.

that day you will don't know - what you need.

But this day is not that day. The Christmas dongle is for you.

And I HAVE this dongle, I have TWO.

It's GARBAGE. I have NO USE for it.
When I'm outside, I bring nothing but my Switch and a dongle or two, no cables no phones (just my smartwatch).

This dongle is USELESS in that scenario. I still end up using my SX Pro instead (which sometimes dies which is why I bought a BACKUP dongle). This GARBAGE dongle is USELESS as a backup.

I've tried bringing it several times, tried charging it a few times during the day while playing my Switch while I was out.
When I needed to use it, it was DEAD.

PURE GARBAGE.
As I said, I'd return it for a refund if I could.

This dongle is not "for me".
Why do you think I am so mad at this dongle?
It has NEVER served it's purpose that I bought it for AT ALL.

I used to really like XKit.
Their RCM jig was the best, better than SX's jig.
I never expected them to disappoint THIS HARD.
I really wanted to like their RCMLoader, I even tried charging it while on the go, as I said. I tried to give it a chance.

But nope, it's just GARBAGE.

 

[tataniko]

it's just GARBAGE.

No, this dongle is not garbage - it works well what's designed for.

 

[bundat]

No, this dongle is not garbage - it works well what's designed for.

I like how you ignore all my valid points, and just quote whatever you want and reply with whatever you want.

Well, my goal is to spread awareness on how BAD this dongle is.
Whenever someone defends it, I WILL respond with the horrible truth:
This dongle CANNOT HOLD A CHARGE.
It will only stay charged for minutes, not even an hour.

It is GARBAGE.
AutoRCM users beware, it will ALWAYS be dead when you need it.

If you keep defending it, I will keep posting the truth.
And we've already filled this PAGE of this thread, so there's no hiding it now.
Whereas if you didn't keep defending it, maybe the truth would've been buried away, and maybe someone new would've been suckered into this dongle.

If you want to keep doing this, I don't mind filling this thread with PAGES highlighting the fact that this dongle
CANNOT HOLD A CHARGE.

Or you can stop defending it, and just accept this dongle has this GLARINGLY BAD FLAW.

 

[linuxares]

Battery will always be safer and better

 

[tataniko]

I will keep posting the truth

lol, you are the truth & not your opinion.

If you don't like this dongle because of capacitors then replace them with a battery or ultra capacitors.

 

[bundat]

lol, you are the truth & not your opinion.

If you don't like this dongle because of capacitors then replace them with a battery or ultra capacitors.

But it's true that it can't hold a charge for longer than a few minutes, not even for an hour.

I'd replace the capacitors if I could, but I can't solder, otherwise I'd just build my own dongle no?

 

[tataniko]

Battery will always be safer and better

Are you sure?
What I heard, the capacitors have better charge time & cycle life than batteries.
