Can this screwdriver be used to open switch

"Switch" - no. For Switch you need something like this. Shape is called Triwing or "Y".
The description states Triwing which would be a Y-shape. But the title says + shape. So a little deceptive.
I think it might be the right screwdriver, but that they are messing up with the title.

Im pretty sure that description doesn't mention triwing at all...

That's a cross-head screwdriver, you'd need a tri-wing one with a 'Y' shape.
Also don't get a cheap screwdriver like those. Spend a bit more to get a proper one.
Over the years Im pretty sure Ive only had less than 3 of these work properly without just causing a bigger issue or headache. The metal is either too soft and the screwdriver rounds instantly, or its cut poorly and won't properly "bite" your screw and just strip the head off of that.

Not really in the description part, but in a "short overview" it does say Tri Wing.
So who knows what will you get if you buy that screwdriver (probably the Philips one).
I second that as I've learned it the hard way myself. Took me an hour or so to remove the stripped screw from one of the joy-cons I've fixed.

Or even better, buy a screwdriver with replaceable bits.
