And unused PC Power Extension cable such as this one.
A cable cutter or a simple scissor.
~5 minutes of time.
Steps:
- Cut off both ends of the cables
- cut off around 3-4 cm (1-1.4 inch) of one of the cables
- 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. - twist the now lose cables on both ends together until they Form a decently solid "string"
- bend the cable in a u-form and put it in place, the switch joycon rail should hold the cable for you
- adjust the cable by pressing both ends towards the closest side of the rail.
