Your Switch is patched

RCM won't work on the stock bootloader. You still have options.

Enjoy it as-is

A patched console plays the entire Switch library, the eShop, and Nintendo Switch Online exactly like an unpatched one — the exploit only affects whether you can run software Nintendo didn't sign, not anything about normal use. If custom firmware isn't a priority, there's nothing missing here.

For physical or digital games, Switch games on Amazon and HRKGame's discounted digital keys are both worth checking against retail prices.

Find an unpatched console instead

If CFW matters enough to you, a used original Switch from 2017–2018 on the second-hand market is the straightforward route. Check the seller's listed serial number against the checker before you buy — sellers rarely know or advertise patch status, and once it's in your hands there's no undoing a purchase. Expect some wear and reduced battery life on units this old, and a price premium since the homebrew community is competing for the same stock.

Modchips

Hardware modchips exist that restore CFW capability on a patched console by intercepting the boot process at the chip level. It's a real option, but not a casual one: it requires precise soldering, professional installation is strongly recommended, and a failed install can brick the console permanently. Nintendo will not service a modified unit under warranty.
