Quick disconnects
hedge:
dumb quesiton: if i use quick disconnects, does that mean i don't have to solder anything?
sorry, i am not familiar with them but would pick some up if it meant i didn't have to buy a soldering gun for wiring my control panel... thanks.

Sorry, I broke down and bought the QD's from Home Depot yesterday. I paid $8.79 for 100, which isn't too bad. Got my control panel all wired up today using 2 cheap Wal*Mart USB $10 pads. VERY easy gamepad hack, even for someone like me that had never soldered before. Thanks for the referal (can't remember who it was).

The quick disconnects I am using dont hold the wire very well, so I will be soldering the wire to the qd.....

lemme tell ya. a quick disconnect is a quick disconnect. don't stress yourself out. I used the 250's and cripmed them a little bit and they are tighter than a virgins hole. the ones from radio crap or r&s strauss are fine.
