I thought as well that the tinfoil was the final solution, but the user "jjbredesen" said this, so I decided to order a 3D printed jig from eBay (even if the tinfoil worked at my first try without any issue).

The question should be "what risks aren't there?".
It's completely stupid, highly dangerous and can kill your Switch.
Please tell me you weren't planning on using this method.

If you want to go cheap, a paperclip or maybe a wire. I went with the former, as long as you are careful enough there should be much less risk than with tinfoil.
The power supply for the joycon rail is protected with polyfuses, so shorting that out wouldn't cause black smoke. Just a temp(+- 30secs) powercut to the right rail
The worst you could do is feed 5V to the 1,8V UART/Serial RX pin (8) but seeing how close it is to the magic pin 10 and the lack of reports of broken switches you could almost assume it's safe to do

I tried the tinfoil method a lot of times and my switch seems fine. The only worse thing that happened to me with this method is that it desync my joycon but it was easily solved by syncing it again to the switch.
No more Switch.
I would get a jig, not worth risking your console when they're so cheap. There's a guy in the trading section giving them away for shipping only (£1.70 to Europe)
I got mine from him.
sadly I can only send stuff to gb and wait for my dad to take it here in italy...not really an option for me...No more Switch.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but it arrives right in your mailbox, if the problem is that your dad would take it just take it before he checks the mail. Or get it sent to a friend.
no, I literally can't get it shipped too italy,so I would have to get it shipped where my dad lives,gb and make him take it too me
The safest of all is the more simple : SOLDERING SOL-DE-RING.
Do it one time and never touch it again. It work flawlessly and awesome to your console safety.
Paperclip can damage some pins after an occasional use and let's not talk about screwdriver, you can damage very badly the pins very easily. JiG contact aren't that good and you need a precise printed JiG. A lot of them dosen't take his right place (souce : eBay).
Don't bother my friend, just buy a solder kit from Amazon for like 10 bucks.

I use tin foil, first time it had stuck on pins. Luckly I ejected via a knife and retried with sandwich method (squeeze between joycon and rail) and worked!

Speaking of meatballs, what's the deal with meatball sandwich? How can people eat those? It's ROUND. Trying to bite those in a sandwich is a challenge. It's easier to eat a burger stacked with toppings. -
