Looks pretty cool, less fiddling around (chance of losing the SX Pro) when injecting payloads as this just sits in the game cart slot:

Payload senders (or payload injectors, or code loaders), are programs or devices used to transfer a small binary file (the payload) to the Nintendo Switch while being in Recovery mode (RCM), which allows early custom program's execution at console boot before the Switch official Operating System (Horizon OS) is loaded.

You can then launch homebrew, run emulators, and play backups of your games off SD card, USB Hard Drive, install them on internal memory, etc.

@awbacon1 firstly, check the serial number of your unit to see if it will accept a payload: ismyswitchpatched.com/

If so, I highly recommend going that route. I really like Team Xecuter's SX OS and will be using it in conjunction with the DragonInjector when I get around to getting one. There's been a couple of times now that I've forgotten my dongle when on the go.

If you don't care about the form factor and keeping your payload device in the cartridge slot for portability, you could either purchase the SX Pro Dongle/Jig/License kit. Or you could use one of the many "free" options and inject the payload directly from your PC or Phone.

There's pro's and con's for both methods/options. I do like to have multiple TB's of HDD space hooked up to the dock of my Switch and load XCI at my discretion, which is only possible with TX's product.

@xodaraP the screwdriver is included as a bonus for removal of the DragonInjector PCB from the shell of the cart, there are two pads that you are able to reprogram, on the device, for other uses.

If you bought a release model, even in the first year of the consoles life, there's no use even checking, yours will be 100% fine.
