Yes, still here. I just inserted a 64GB Sd card, and the darn switch says I need a system update to use the SD card. I think I'm SOL nowgonna be honest, if OP is even still here. the jigs wont damage your switch, carelessness will. any jig will work, it doesnt matter where the pins are, or where you bought it from, just be careful with it. its like the docks scratching peoples switches. never happened to me, bc i am very careful with my switch. dont be stupid, youll be fine
Hacking It seems there's two different types of RCM jig???

People have ruined their right rails with paperclip jigs. They are just too stiff (
) and the pins in the rail are small and fragile.Wire based jigs are much safer. In theory the SX jig is the safest, because it's custom made for the purpose, with custom metal pins.

My first jig was from
https://switchjigs.com/products/switch-rcm-jig-glow-in-the-dark
Pins 7 and 10, but they got bent and I didn't want to fool with it so I went with https://www.etsy.com/listing/621455283/nintendo-switch-joycon-rcm-jig-recovery?ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1
Works fine so far

Just check the pinout of the joycon in this article :
https://github.com/dekuNukem/Nintendo_Switch_Reverse_Engineering
Pin 10 needs to be connected to the ground in order for the Tegra to boot into RCM
Pin 1,2,7,9 are all connected to the ground (GND) so anyone can be used.

But if pin 1 is used, it will interfere with joycon update (when you update the FW). Then the right joycon can only be seen in wireless mode. But joycon can be updated wirelessly.
For the record guys, the RCMloader One comes with a really solid not-3d-printed jig with proper pins and everything. And for a much lower price than a SX Gear/SX Pro. Paid only $10.69 for mine on AliExpress, it's increased by a dollar now but still really cheap.
It's a pretty good dongle as well, only minus is that the USB-C plug sits loosely in the Switch' USB-C slot, I figure that might be to prevent wear and tear on the Switch, but it means is that I'm never sure if the jig is fully inserted until the payload shows up. That's a really minor thing though, otherwise the quality of this thing seems good, the plastic doesn't feel cheap either, and it definitely has the best looks out of any of the dongles. And I really like that the jig slots onto the dongle otherwise it would be easy to lose since it's so tiny. Pretty happy with the purchase.

is there any difference between pin 10+1 and 10+7? i heard some type of console is only support jig pin 10+7 into RCM menu. maybe it's a fake information.

study before discrediting other people !!!

Happy April Fools' Day !

I used a wire from an old 4pin IDE power cable. Ran it from pin 10 up to the heatsink area at the top. Alternative is the screw in center of rail. Works great and no forcing of any pins.
Wow why are people still recommending the tinfoil method,one slip of that piece of foil can bridge ya pin 4 with another pin and stop either your joycon or switch working.. pin 4 is 5v live.
People will say but i have used the method since the beginning of time, but it only takes one slip to break your shit.. I there for do not recommend it to anyone.
