Two possibilities to consider:

1. Verify that you didn't accidently wire the P2 inputs to the NC (Normally Closed) tab on the microswitches.

2. When you have a bunch of controls in a row/group not working, check the daisy-chain ground.

You should have continuity from ground on the IPac to the last connection in the daisy-chain.

As above but if not:

When you say they dont work can you be more specific? Or do they not work at all?

Have you tried seeing if they operate in the I pac software?

maybe you loaded a SINGLE joystick control (ie:Pacman) and thinking that when it's 2nd players turn, you use the Joystick #2 ?

Hi a few buttons of P2 work now.
When i use the ipac software test some of the buttons have the same key by pressing three of them they all have the letter x how can i give them other key inputs?

Thx

Yes, you can change all the key inputs in the software and then download it to the PAC.
