Not saying everyone needs a modchip. But if you’re going that route, this is who I’d trust with my Switch.
Quick transparency on my end: the only hiccup we had was 100% my fault. I misread an automated Shopify email and thought I had to wait for verification before shipping my console. So I… waited. For a month. Completely unnecessary. He had zero responsibility for that delay — but still apologized and even offered to expedite my order for free. That alone told me a lot about how he treats customers.
For context, he does 4–6 installs per business day and has done over 2,000 total. In a niche space like modchip installs — which is already kind of gray and very technical — that level of experience is rare. Most failures in this field aren’t random; they come from small, specific risk points that beginners don’t recognize.
The install itself involves extremely small 0201 components and very precise solder points. It’s the kind of work where small things — temperature control, how long you hold heat, how you handle shielding, even cleaning up properly — make a real difference. They’re subtle details, but without experience they’re easy to mess up.
His volume of work means he has already seen these risks repeatedly and knows how to avoid them. Unless a console has been previously damaged or tampered with, his success rate is very high.
He even wrote a detailed, accurate Reddit guide explaining how to install the modchip yourself — complete with clear step-by-step photos. That takes confidence and integrity. A lot of people in this space guard information. He doesn’t. That says something.
On cost: some people ask why not just buy an unpatched Nintendo Switch instead. Unpatched units use the RCM exploit. If the system fully powers off or the battery dies, you don’t lose your setup — but you do have to reconnect to a PC or injector and push a payload again to boot into custom firmware. For some people that’s no big deal. Others prefer the convenience of a modchip, which boots automatically like a normal console.
As for DIY being “cheaper”… maybe on paper. But real micro-soldering equipment adds up fast: a decent temperature-controlled station, proper solder and flux, magnification (ideally a microscope), precision tools, a multimeter, thermal paste, Kapton tape, sometimes hot air for board work. And that’s before factoring in the cost of a mistake. A lifted pad or unnoticed short can permanently brick your Switch. That risk alone is enough for most people.
Skill, experience, tools, and responsibility all matter here.
In a space where trust is everything, he has built an overwhelming number of positive reviews. In my experience, he is diligent, responsible, transparent, and genuinely respectful toward his customers.
If you choose to install a modchip, he is one of the best options you’ll find — not just in the U.S., but anywhere.
