Hacking The ultimate list of mods to enter RCM

Has anyone tried this method with tin foil on the joycon?

Sharing in case anyone wants to give it a try.

Yup, it worked the first time I tried it, probably one of the easiest method.

i'll just stick to the screwdriver

At least one person had to take things apart to remove loose fragments of tinfoil.

So, I did some research and tried my hand at soldering for the first time ever.

The result? Pretty easy DIY joyconhax here's the pics

Has anyone been able to use the thigverse one? Ive paid someone to 3d print it for me but it won't fit perfectly into the socket, it sorta gets underneath it.

i haven't read any of the replies so i dont know if this has been mentioned but you can also access RCM mode with some tinfoil and the right joycon
explains how to do it at around 1:50

It's a bad idea. Tin foil can break apart easily, and if it does and finds its way to the wrong pins your switch can be fried.

Here's a neat mod that was posted on Reddit:

Haha, thanks for linking to my reddit post! :-)

It's possible to use a needle to short out pin 9/10 in the same way as a screwdriver, am I right?

Thanks for informing me, I removed it.

I posted this on the sub-reddit. I'll copy it over into this thread. I would only suggest doing this mod if you are extremely comfortable with a soldering iron. I'm not responsible if you mess up your Joy-Con. With that being said below are the things I used to make this possible:

This is exactly the idea I had looking at all these, either using a tact switch or a micro spdt slide switch, so it's not shorted all the time. Thanks for the pics and writeup. So it just has to be shorted to ground, not specifically a pin 1 or 7 ground then? I'm buying my Switch this weekend likely, so I can do this for Atmosphere ahead of Nintendo's scramble to release new hardware.

I added a button to my switch. This is the first time I have ever done anything like this, but the good thing is it turned out perfectly and works 100% of the time.

I did a pretty simple (and a little bit ugly) soldering on pin 1 and 10 (not the pin itself ofc).

Working like a charm, i don't need anymore corrupting my NAND like AutoRCM or stuff like that.

Didn't you just solder PIN 1 to PIN 6 ?
