OK sir...@mattytrog thanks for the update on this I will be trying it out and upgrading soon. I have a probably weird question for you. So I have a Trinket M0 installed in my switch and currently its pretty easy to press the reset button through the back of the case. I bought a thin "dockable" case off amazon like this: https://www.amazon.com/FYOUNG-Protective-Accessories-Controller-Protector/dp/B07BGWCFTZ in hopes of helping when holding it in your hand not pressing the reset button on the chip which pushes the volume up button.
I put the case on and found it was pressing reset button by itself and holding it down which I dont know what damage this could cause but one of the joycons would stop working and wouldnt charge etc. So my question is, is there anything I can do to fix this problem? is the reset button still needed to enter chip programming mode or would it be possible to desolder?
Your options are:
1) Modify the shield (recommended) so the Trinket is fitted directly to the RAM shield. You can cut a trinket-sized "flap" in the shield using just ordinary scissors.
2) Shave some height off the button "nipple" with a craft knife or similar
3) Remove button completely and use a pigtail(small length of wire) and solder to RST pad and touch it to GND.
4) Modify back cover slightly (create an indentation on the inside where the button "nipple" sits.) ie craft knife, or touch with soldering iron, cleaning up the indentation with a knife.
5) Drill small pinhole in back cover (ie a reset hole)
Thats about it.
I prefer modifying the shield personally. The best overall solution. I have outlined elsewhere why I think this and have done tests regarding cooling and rigidity of the console. There is no difference whatsoever pre-modification and post-modification.
