Hardware Hw button for RCM mode on switch.

[Looter]

Hey guys!
Just wanted to share my way of implementing the RCM jig.

Since i didn't want to order a jig online, nor try and fail with paper clips i tought it would be an easier method if i just added the " home button " to the console.
I had some old mouse parts lying around. So i disassembled the console, took the joycon rail apart, soldered a utp cable wire to the 10th pin, routed it around in the casing. Drilled a hole in the aftermarket plastic case and added a button. The ground for the button is the ground of the SD card reader. I want to cut down from the height of the button so it will be more flush with the casing, but i find it way more handy to have the button on the console, than fiddling around with the rcm jigs and the joycon.

Cheers.

Good idea, but now your shell is destroyed.
Thats why I put the button behind the right joy-con releaee button. It works great and is invisible.

In hindsight, i could have put the button over the spongy material pressing down on the sd card connector, and have the button only accesable when i open up the flip stand.

I have shown people the switch itself, noone really noticed it. Probably because of the clear case.

Excellent work!
And I have to say it's a much better alternative than the tinfoil joycon thingy.
Entering RCM with the click of a button, how convenient can that be.
