DIY Joycon pin jumper (free to ~1€/$)

What you need:
And unused PC Power Extension cable such as this one.
A cable cutter or a simple scissor.
~5 minutes of time.

Steps:
  1. Cut off both ends of the cables
  2. cut off around 3-4 cm (1-1.4 inch) of one of the cables
  3. take the cutoff part and remove the a bit of the inuslation on both ends (~0.4cm or ~0,1 inch)
    Either use a cable cutter or use a scissor which you dont fully close, just enough to get through the insulation.
  4. twist the now lose cables on both ends together until they Form a decently solid "string"
  5. bend the cable in a u-form and put it in place, the switch joycon rail should hold the cable for you
  6. adjust the cable by pressing both ends towards the closest side of the rail.
Dont worry if you mess up, you should have a dozen tries before you run out of cables ;)

Troubleshooting:
Pin 10 isn't shorted.
-push the cable closer to the rail sometimes they seems to hit the empty space between them
-try moving around the switch preferably so that gravity pulls the cable closer to the pin.

One thing I noticed recently is that It become more reliable if you bent upthe unisolated cable Piece
 
Sorry if a noob question but can't I use a solder(an alloy of tin and lead) instead? I have a difficulty getting it to work.

Solder is conductive and very easily malleable, so I don't see any reason for it not to work (but you may need to give it the right shape each time you want to use it again).

Having some issues with getting into RCM. All I have to use is paperclips and a piece of wire. I have tried using the wire but I havent had any luck yet. I saw someone broke a pin with a paperclip and dont want to try it. Is there anything you guys can recommend to me?
 
but fusee isnt fully functional yet and it doesn't allow me to make "legal backups" install
Your confused.
Fusee is an exploit, its functional. It has to be because its built into the system.
Atmosphere, the CFW that allows for backups to be installed, is not functional.
