Have you ever done any micro soldering before? Do you own a microscopic camera? If you answered no to either, I suggest you pay someone to install a modchip for you.

The HWFLY V4 and V5 have been discontinued. You can ask the seller for them; however, this may increase the cost. The old HWFLY is quite stable than the RP2040 from what I've heard. But sometimes, you might get one that is dead-on-arrival. So be extra cautious.

Yes, definitely. These are impossible to install, not without expertise of soldering skills and a microscopic camera for better clarity.

Instinct NX V6 Black or a Hwfly V4 if you can find them.

I'd say go for the INSTINCT-NX V6. The older HWFLY are known to cause issues or be DOA.

Well not like you can really find V4 now a day. Instinct V6 is a good choice, I have one V4 and one Instinct NX V6 Black no problem.
