It doesn't look like you have any common terminals from one button to the next. They all could be on separate loops. You could check with a continuity meter, but that would be more effort than you would spend just to solder all four points. I say just do this: (image) Look right to everyone? ** attachment deleted - modified version posted below ** |

Eh crap, I circled the wrong buttons, sorry. I meant these: |
| grafixmonkey:
ok you just have to move one wire because apparently some of the buttons do have a common contact (pink glowing trace). I wonder if you looked at the other side of the gamepad, if there would be a jumper or wire between the pink trace and the blue trace. |

Well I jut blew my first soldering job, need a smaller iron tip. I accidentally bridged two points together. Does the pic look right for everyone else...just hesitant about screwing up and wasting another 20 bucks. Thanks Derek EDIT* So if the connections all share a ground all I need to do is solder one point and then daisy chain right? However in this pad they are not sharing a common ground so I do need a ground point for each button right? Just trying to make things clear. |

Umm.. you don't really need to buy a whole nother pad, you can just buy some of that soldering stuff that sucks up solder, suck all the excess solder you botched up on, and try again. I remember I screwed up my first time, but it was an easy fix. |
