You can buy a PC at walmart, right?
Console modding/repair shops rarely make most of their profit from consoles or games, if they sell them at all (besides, your reasoning is that of people who pirate and then never buy the original)
Hacking is SX pro legal in the united states

the system is yours, no matter what tech companies says on the box modifies your own system is legal
it is, but the box manufacturer can swiftly remove some of their services for doing that.

Calling someone an idiot while your only argument is based on something essentially irrelevant is itself idiotic.
And premade Kodi boxes for piracy are illegal. Kodi as software is not.

The important word is "primarily". People will argue that it's primarily for homebrew, making legal backups or whatever.
It's somewhat of a grey area for the SX OS since it can be used solely for homebrew loading. The SX Pro might be considered grey, but is totally legal since it simply does the same thing as your PC/RPi/Android device can do with Fusee Gelee. The Pro just exploits the NVidia bug and sets up the environment for the .nro loading. The .nro (SX OS loader) is what actually contains the code that is grey.
Do you really think the police will come knock on your door saying "WE SEE U GOT SWITCH HAX"?
There is no great area , uncertainty or doubt
It is illegal pure and simple
The person behind it Max Louarn has already suffered legal ramifications from Nintendo before and his shill Gary Wayne Bowser has also already been subject to severe legal proceedings before for selling of illegal software (software piracy).
If you do a search for the above on any popular search engine it will soon show you the extent of the legal problems the people behind this device have and will face.
If you are wondering why Modchipcentral and gocybershopping (same store) are not supply the item

A notice went out from Nintendo USA earlier to ICE which will result in possible all devices beign seized and confiscated on attempted importation into the USA.
The PayPal account associated with the Chinese resellers have been frozen and no doubt the buyers details will be made over to the ICE and then Nintendo with legal ramifications to follow.

Pirating games is illegal but only if you go to a cop and tell them youre.
Equivalent to asking :is hacking my Switch illegal in the US? The SX OS itself does not allude to piracy it's the end user behind it

, Reason: Can't spell
you are too funny, if he is like you say, you think that he would not take the necessary measures to do it, and what charges do they take, a dongle that does nothing, and a jig that goes into rcm that well its sold elsewhere, the dongle is only for payloads, by itself it cannot pirate or do anything
Funny, where do you think they're sold? Swapmeets? No, they're absolutely sold in stores, albeit the online sort...
There is no discussion on it
From the DMCA
'namely the act of circumventing an access control mechanism on
games consoles to allow the playing of counterfeit software and *knowingly
manufactured, imported, offered to the public, or otherwise trafficked in
technology, products, services, devices, components or parts thereof, which
were primarily designed to circumvent technological measures designed to
effectively control access to a work copyrighted under Title 17 of the
United States Code, for purposes of commercial advantage or private
financial gain. '*
From a little over 10 years ago

This is the reality
And who cares? they must prove that the devices are for that purpose

All you have to do is look at TX web site history to prove this:
"which were primarily designed to circumvent technological measures designed to
effectively control access to a work copyrighted under Title 17 of the
United States Code, for purposes of commercial advantage or private
financial gain"
They added homebrew launching later.
They'll probably try to seize them then give the importers an opportunity to defend their case in court.
The devices dont have that capabilities, is the OS that is not even public, as of now their device does absolute nothing
The dongle is sold to load payloads on the switch.
There is nothing illegal about it. There is literally zero reason for it to be confiscated by customs.
Also remember mostly no one gives a fuck about the laws in the US
www loebcom/articles-ipentertainmentcaselawupdates-20090729-nintendoofamericaincvchanetal
the internet is full of other such information which suggest Nintendo does quite significantly
