| Is it the wiring or the controller? |

However, your soldering on your controller PCB looks a bit messy, excess solder, and bare wires that could possible short circuit your buttons. Do you get random button presses even if you don't do anything? Can you get me a close pic of the a,b,x,y button area? --- End quote --- No random button presses, just that cheeky A button. Excess solder is an understatement, by the way. |

I'd make sure you don't have a splat of solder bridging a connection somewhere. |
| HaRuMaN:
From the way that picture looks, I bet when you close the top of your controller the bare portion of your ground wire touches the bare portion of the A wire... you may be getting more interactions elsewhere when the wires shift as the lid is closed. Like Ginsu said, make sure you don't have any solder globs bridging contacts elsewhere. |

I'll have to take another detailed look, I guess. Update: I messed around with the wiring a little more and got it to work... under one condition. This calls for even more electrical tape than before. Thank god it isn't the controller, eh? |
| Ginsu Victim:
so is that just a mock-up before making the real one? If not, are you going to enclose it in any way? I see that thing falling over and your wires yanking loose. |
