You don't need a lot, and you need to make sure that you don't create any shorts. Next, start wiring... I find it easier if I "pre-tin" each wire before soldering it. I apply some solder directly to the wire, and then solder the wire to the solder point on the PCB.

This is exactly what I did wrong. I pre-tinned the iron and wire, but never thought of just putting a dab of solder on the pcb to connect to. I think my tip was a little big for the project as well. Another case of making things tougher by not having the right tools for the job.
This was a great little tutorial, and I'll definitely use some of these tips if I ever try it again for myself.

Yeah, my method takes some time to do... but I've never had anyone return a hacked controller. :)
orntar:
does it really need discreet commons for every button?
can at least some of the buttons be paired down, so there aren't so many connections?
