RCM Joycon Mod

Hi all hard modders!

If like me none of the proposed solutions convinced you to enter RCM mode, you might like my job

Pros:

• Very reliable
• Easy to use
• Will not damage connectors
• Discrete
• No glue
• Good button location (no risk to press it unintentionally)

Cons:

• Ok, you'll need to tinker, but hey guys, I give you all the keys to succeed

Requirements:

• A micro switch (google for "micro switch button 6x6x6mm")
• Thin wire
• A piece of foam (take what you want but just make sure it is not too soft)
• Special joycon's screwdriver (also google for it)
• A drilling machine with a 4mm drill bit
• A soldering iron

Don't hesitate to leave feedbacks

 

- No, foam is just an easy way to block the button without using glue and without knowing the exact height the piece should be. I would just recommend using non conductive material.

- The magnet method is nice but I don't like the fact that you need a magnet with you (and might not very good for the console).

- Concerning grounding the pin with the official R button, we would need the official Nintendo's pinout to determine if it's possible or not, but I don't think it's possible because when I press the button while the console is on, joycon is immediately disconnected.

 

Wahoo, I just searched for the TX tutorial you mentionned and falled on "TX_Joycon_Mod_Tutorial.pdf", trust me or not I never read this tuto before, but you're right guys, my solution is very very similar
