RCM Jig

The RCM jig is a tiny dongle designed specifically for Switch V1 consoles that forces your system into Recovery Mode (RCM) by shorting the right pins on the Joy-Con rail, making it super easy to start the jailbreak process without any soldering or advanced hacking skills. However, this tool only works on the original Switch (V1) because newer models like the Switch V2 and OLED have hardware fixes that block this exploit, so the jig won’t work on them. If you’ve got a V1 Switch, the RCM jig is your quick and simple way to unlock custom firmware, run homebrew, and mod your games, but for V2 or OLED users, you’ll need different tools or modchips to get that jailbreak action.

The RCM jig isn’t plug-and-play by itself—you can’t just pop it in and expect magic to happen. You’ll also need a payload injector or a device (like a PC, phone, or dongle) to actually send the jailbreak payload to your Switch. But hey, if you grab the extra tools we offer on the site (like the USB dongle injector and cables), the whole setup becomes super easy and beginner-friendly. So yeah, not plug-and-play on its own, but pair it with the right gear and you’re chilling.
