They are a common ground. Meaning the ground wire gets daisy chained together.

Sorry, don't mean to sound ignorant, but I am confused how can I daisy chain the harness ground cable to the daisy chained .187 connectors I have? Also, the main buttons I have are the true-leaf style buttons so they don't have a ground connection, what do I do for those?

NP everybody had too start from somewhere :D
I am assuming that you got the wire set w/ the GP Wiz40. Take the ground wire from the Spit fire harness & twist the two ends together w/ the daisy chain ground wire, from wire set. That will go into the ground screw terminal of the GP Wiz40.
The Classx leaf switches does not matter which is positive or ground. Just keep all the buttons the same + & -. So keep all the top leafs tabs positive & bottom tabs negative of your buttons.
Then connect the pos to the according button on the GP Wiz 40.

Thanks dude! I'll give it a shot and let you know. You guys are great, answer quick without making me feel like an idiot, haha. Thanks again.

Thanks so much man! I got the joystick and buttons working. I have just one more question (for now). I now have the ground cable with the two wires twisted together, but I am going to need to do the same thing for player 2. And since the GP-Wiz40 only has one ground connector, does this mean I'll have to plug 4 cables into the one ground connection?
Thanks again.

Your welcome :cheers:
Yes, the new GP Wiz40 interfaces only have 1 ground on them. I just used one in a BarStick from Haruman like 2weeks ago.
Since your are using the SpitFires w/ the harness, you should only have 3 wires into the ground. Two from player1 & player2 SpitFires. Then the daisy chain ground should be used for player 1 & player 2 buttons. You should have it as one continuous ground wire, daisy chained.
