Just found out the Switch I got a while back is a V1 model, meaning that it's one of the Switches that's able to be modified. I'm thinking of modifying it, but I'd like to know the upsides and issues first.

Pros: Make backups of your physical games and play them digitally (or sail the 7 seas). Homebrew like emulators, ports. Game modding, overclocking, fps unlocking. You can even install Android, and Linux on a modded switch.

Cons: at risk of getting banned, possibly violating your warranty. Bricks are also possible if the mod is done incorrectly, but the chances are very low unless doing a hardmod.

I use a modded v1 switch currently, and I highly recommend it. Just make sure to make emunand as a designated sandbox for homebrew and hacking stuff.

Warranty is hardly a concern at this point right? Any v1 is well outside the year.

Yep, that's right.
