you would connect pins 1 and 10 on the replacement joycon rail. Then it becomes a jig.
Actually, I wrote that post before that thread was created. The safest way will always be internally soldering the JoyCon.I totally agree with you. I still like the magnetic reed switch best, but for someone who can't/won't solder, the kinked jig is best for sure.
the horror story you mention is exactly what I imagine a ton of people doing out of ignorance.

No, this is the best method.

yeah I'm a little biased.

That's a really good idea too. Not as good as the mag switch but a lot better than a jig.

That's not very helpful. That's like telling someone "don't screw up". People who don't know how to do THIS stuff don't know how to be careful. Try to post things that are actually useful in the future.
Yeah I use a reed switch in mine. But for those who don't want to open up their joycon the joycon rail replacement option is probably the best jig method and wont cause damage to the switch pins

Go away if you don't have something constructive to add. This tutorial CLEARLY isn't for you.
Why not Jig once, then AutoRCM? Seems the way to go for me, you'll not damage your device, and will not haave to open your joycon/but a new one.
wire and solder on pins 1 and 10 of the solder points on the connector (inside part of rail)
If you don't understand you should read some joycon teardowns.

AutoRCM has "issues". Eventually down the road there will (likely) be better software boot loaders that will preclude the need.
you need to go do some reading on JIGS, joycons, RCM etc. Check the tutorials etc. Your questions are answered in plenty of places and the queries are cluttering up this discussion thread. People are happy to help you out but no one wants to spoon feed if people aren't reading at least somewhat on their own.
Joycon rails are cheap, try searching for one on ebay. Jigs are cheap, and sold on ebay. Instructions for entering RCM are in the tutorials etc.
Probably be a good idea to open the right Joycon and add a little switch in there (a switch on your Switch, ha).
Or a magnetic contraption sort of thing that when you place a magnet near it, it lifts a piece of metal and closes the circuit.

Magnetic contraption? unneded, there are magnetic switchs, they are called "reed switch"
You can just use a reed switch, which is a small magnet-activated electronic switch. It's already been done by myself and others, and there are even threads about it.
I concur. That is also a great method as those pins are meant for mating to other pins. Pretty likely A-OK with that approach.
That is fail0verflows design not xecuters. It alot safer than shoving a hard paperclip in there.

@Xdqwerty, Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! is the Japanese version of the game, different settings/characters/songs but otherwise identical mechanics. I played that before I knew about Elite Beat Agents lol. Both fantastic games https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osu!_Tatakae!_Ouendan+1 -
