* '''Tegra X1''' refers to any version of the main processor used in the Nintendo Switch.   Alternatively, "Tegra" can sometimes refer to any toolkit or diagnostic software that runs for processors in the Tegra family. 
* '''Erista, or T210, and V1''' refers to the original chipset used on full-sized Switch consoles manufactured before mid-2018, before the better-battery Switch. Erista units may be patched or unpatched. 
* '''Mariko, or T214''', refers to the chipset used on any console made after late 2019. This includes Switch Lite, Switch (OLED Model), and the better-battery Switch. Units using Mariko chipsets are unhackable via software for the foreseeable future. 
* '''Better-battery Switch, redbox Switch, and V2 Switch''' all refer specifically to the full-size Switch that was advertised with better battery - with the product code of HAC-001(-01). 
* '''RCM''' refers to Nvidia's <u>R</u>e<u>c</u>overy <u>M</u>ode. This is where an Nvidia error led to the discovery of fusee, thereby leading to custom firmware on the Switch. 
* '''Patched''' usually refers specifically to being patched from fusee-gelee. Although it's very rare, there may be other methods of getting into custom firmware on certain patched units. 
* '''fusee''' references fusee-gelee. It may also casually refer to tools or software that work alongside fusee-gelee's environment, like the fusee.bin payload used for Atmosphere.
