Mines just arrived, a little over a week after ordering from China...

Complete end-to-end tracking too, never seen something arrive so efficiently from the far-east..

Haven't seen complete tracking in years! Rarely see any kind of tracking outside of the country, actually.

when i ordered NS-atmosphere, i got tracking too, about 12 days after it went from china to Malaysia, and when it reached suadi arabia it was updated again.
it was also free shipping for $15 device.

I was reading the NS-Atmosphere thread, and realized that something was missing from the discussion of the Xkit RCMLoader dongle, that was HEAVILY discussed there:

• flashing other payloads!

Has anyone tried it?
How was the experience?

Also, how is the experience with the advertised "payload switching" functionality?

 

[bundat]

So a dongle that looks IDENTICAL to this came out (the AceNS dongle), it even has RCMLoader Zero printed on the board (like this one has RCMLoader Zero on the case).

This thread has instructions on how to replace the multiple payloads on the AceNS:

Can anyone confirm if the same process applies to this dongle?

Saw that Ace post, earlier, and read about it last week.

Was just coming to mention how bold they were for not scratching off Xkits product name like some other sellers would've, lol. Especially when what they rebranded can be bought for $10 or 2 for $15.

 

[DollyWhipDoll]

I see the OP of that thread https://gbatemp.net/threads/review-acens-dongle-for-nintendo-switch-payload-injector.519488/ swapped out the photo from the 1 that said 'RCMloader Zero' or something like that.

Seems very fishy. 10 mile post followed by a cover up.

You had better do some research the next time before accusing somebody of doing something wrong.

"Accusing" would be saying that YOU'RE selling them. I couldn't care less as I'm not selling or using any of these dongles. Not using, yet. I have a Trinket M0 dongle that I made and may get around to 1 of these cheaper ones.

However, it's very odd how fast you changed that post once it was talked about. Sounds like the seller, at least, watches this board and is pushing you around like an employee.

If any of you put a review in the backup loaders section, maybe name it 'The $10 Dongle Experience' to go with the $15 and $16 dongle experiences, lol.

Here's my short review

+ Tiny!
+ Super easy to change out payloads, use a micro usb and it's just a regular folder. Swap out the payload.bin and it's sorted
+ Wee LED is great, can tell which payload is on
+ Site had clear english instructions
~ Build quality is quite good, except it doesn't feel great to hold since the sides of the black layer are rough, and the coloured pieces could be smaller to sit flush.
- Caps don't seem to stay charged all that long, but not a huge deal since I can just plug it in my phone
- Button seems clunky, sometimes seems to miss clicks. Also only works when plugged in.

the caps only last mins not even hour....

 

[TheCyberQuake]

Well it works.
But the caps inside literally die just minutes after being fully charged, even without being used. Meaning you'll need to charge it before using it. At that point just use your phone. Definitely pass on this one, get one that can actually hold a charge for longer than 3 minutes

I guess you can charge it by plugging it in while you're switch is on, but still

Hmm, I don't really mind waiting for it to charge long as the cable and my laptop are nearby? It reminds me of a 3rd party usb charger designed for 3ds. (Except that shit stopped working too after a certain time period..) Anyway, the caps don't sound completely wonderful anymore. I guess that's what we get for buying cheap shit.lol

Wait, so it's confirmed that the caps can't hold a charge for longer than a few mins? And that this is true for ALL Xkit RCMLoader units?

That sucks if true... my SX pro can still boot a dead Switch stuck in RCM despite the last time it was connected being weeks ago.

That sounds like a bum deal... the only reason I'd want a dongle is for emergency reboots on the go (if I had my phone, I'd use that instead, why bother with a dongle). My SX pro has saved me many times when I didn't have any other gadget on me except a Switch that has crashed.

Here ya go..

Is this true about needing to charge before every use?

 

[Sonansune]

Is this true about needing to charge before every use?

yes. this dongle sucks. the caps holds up mins only, not even close to sx dongle....
Regret buying it.

 

[TheCyberQuake]

Is this true about needing to charge before every use?

Yes. Spend the little bit extra to get one with somewhat decent caps
