I know that Joycons are not recognized as directly attached to the Switch anymore, if pins 9 and 10 are connected. But what about charging? Are the modded Joycons still charging while attached?
Does it have to do with the console / controller build? Or is it the way you mod the joycon? Because I did the bended tin foil method and it works perfectly, except for the fact that joycon isn't recognized as connected.. So I keep removing the foil after every boot.. Might it work if I tried a different method or if it's not recognized it won't be recognized?This problem occurs only for some users, not for all.

no only pins 1, 2, and 7 work as a ground sourceBetter solder 1&10 or 9&10 ?

did you solder them or just temp bend themBent the pins, it does recognize by the system software
did you solder them or just temp bend them
I had a theory, that it depends on your joy-con fw. So I updated mine, but it still works the same (I have soldered pin 9 and 10 together).Does it have to do with the console / controller build?

Is the joy-con pushed deep enough?
Same. The most elegant solution.Mine is charging just fine, I soldered two wires to the 10 pad and the 1 pad and lead them to the button that disconnects the joycon in the back of the controller so all i have to do is press that button + vol up to boot into RCM
Same here. I use tin foil to connect pins 9 and 10 and the Joycon is not physically detected anymore. What also happens is that somehow the Switch's battery is drained a lot faster. Anyone else experienced this?Any more pushing and it goes out the other side...
The thing is, I tried many foils, different lengths, different thickness.. As long as I could get into RCM, joycon isn't detected.
Then you don't need pin 9. Bam... Joy-con still working fine.You boys who bend your pins are either crackers or stupid. Once they break, which they will, then what? New joycon. You obviously haven't got the skills to replace the pins or you would have already modded it internally avoiding the need to bend the sodding pins in the first place. Get a jig or use a less daft method. And before you all go all "triggered", I'm trying to help.
