Is there a way to wire a joystick so . . .

But this would be a non-issue if you're chaining all of your grounds together in one big loop.....................................................right?
Tiger-Heli:
I don't think X-Arcade uses a common ground for their encoder.
Your easiest option is to see http://www.xgaming.com/htm/programming.shtml and program the lower left button from C to X and the P2 lower left button from "Close Brace" to Q.
Alternately, you could wire the C button to the same inputs on the circuit board as the X button, but this would be more work and void your warranty.
Hoe:
I just looped a wire going from L to the other L (like how one would loop grounds).

Simple right? imagine it as a the grounds go to both and the positive is split to a Y and goes to both "L" buttons.

I thought it didn't make a difference if the split was at the encoder, a Y before the switches, or as a daisy chain. Aren't the following 3 schematics equivalent?
