Yes the wireless one works with PC using those adaptors. I've already tested this after hacking the controller, I just haven't installed it into a control panel yet.

Okay... I'm new to hacking controls myself so please bare with me...

you say you have one ground point which you daisy chain with the microswitches... by this, do you mean you would have multiple wires coming from this point acting as one of the two wires going to each microswitch or am I totally misunderstanding?

I know, I know!

You have it right.  Microswitches have three pins: common, NO, NC.  Your common ground will be daisy-chained from your pcb to all the common pins on each switch.  Each button and direction wire will go to the correct NO pin on your arcade buttons and joystick.

I thought I'd update this thread since I did eventually (successfully) hack the wireless PS2 controller mentioned earlier in this thread.

The results were posted in my Desktop Controllers Thread, look for the Green "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" control panel (reply #18).

Sorry to ressurect an old thread, but I just wanted to add that I got the game pads from GGG and they are super easy to hack. wow. Thanks alot.

I think I got it all done in about 1hr and that included cutting/striping/tinning the wire, cardboard box CP and all.

Nice and easy solder points and a common ground.
