So I'm re-doing all my cabling. I didn't like the messiness with the cables that came with my buttons, I'm a bit OCD like that.
Here's what I have for my regular switches - (http://i.imgur.com/NbWJXb4.jpg) (http://imgur.com/NbWJXb4)
Mostly pay attention to the yellow/blue buttons setup.
As far as the grounding goes, can I do something similar and just have a single ground cable come from one side of the board, and a single ground come from the other side, join them up and put them into the single ground connector? Or do I have to have one single cable hop between 32 different ground connections?
I can attempt to explain better if needed.

Close - but here's a shoddy diagram of what I'm HOPING I can do, the image you posted shows them 100% daisy chained, which I'd like to avoid if possible. Here's what I'd like to do (attached)

Easy to remember saying...."Ground is ground all around"
As long as they are all tied together in some form, you are good to go.

That's what I figured, but I had a hard time finding any images of anything that WASN'T daisy-chained, I was concerned it would cause some weird issue.
I'm hoping to get my hands on a soldering iron and some solder today to finish this off over my currently nothing-to-do holiday break =D
