You need a jig. It does not matter what kind. But that one will do.

Do a little research before you buy anything. The "jig" is only half of the equation - it's what gets you into RCM. There are about a dozen different ways of getting a Switch into RCM mode, you can use a paperclip instead but it's not recommended to use for long term because you could damage your pins. If you plan on using AutoRCM, you may not need a jig at all afterwards.

Also, double-check that your Switch isn't patched. If it is, a jig won't work for you anyway.

The other half of the equation is a "payload pusher." This can be a computer or an android phone if you have the right USB-C cable. But many people choose to purchase a "payload dongle" instead, which is basically a tiny, portable computer with the sole purpose of sending a payload to your Switch. For that you might want to look at the RCMLoader One, which comes with a jig included, or you might want to look up MatinatorX's DragonInjector, which also includes a jig and they're hoping on releasing in the next month or so (they're running a limited sale of 100 units right now). Some people decide to use a hardmod instead, where they basically solder the payload pusher in their Switch so they don't need to carry it around separately.

You need a jig if you want to hack an unpatched Switch using the RCM exploit. The paperclip method also works well as a jig if you don't want to buy one. If your Switch is a patched version, the RCM exploit will not work.

See this link for your hacking options. See this link for jig options.

You technically only need to use a jig once. After that, you can install AutoRCM if you don't want to use a jig anymore.

FWIW that looks like a good jig. It's got real pins that flex, as opposed to bits of paperclip or some other hard metal that could eventually damage the pins on your console's rail connector.

What you need is Jig, no matter which one, this can also
