Nah it's essentially a developmental tool they released for 30 bucks. I would suspect the majority of dev time and resources into it were useful for the joycon 2 and this was just a slightly polished version of some dev tool they had for testing the joy cons new features. To be a Concord you need to

It'll cost me $89 to replace the Joy cons on my switch one. I will never under any circumstances buy anything Nintendo again.

for gen 1 switch, the safest bet is to get the official Nintendo ones from a reputable shop like Shopee's Nintendo Official Store or GameMartz — they're pricier but you avoid compatibility issues entirely. if budget is a concern, look for ones labelled "HAC-015" (the model number for original Joy-Co
