Does this have a Common Ground for ALL buttons?

Any body used this from GGG? I am about to put an order through and would love to hack a USB gamepad to save some money, and I have hacked around on a pair I got from Amazon and think that my practice is REALLY paying off.

Gamepad hacking tends to be false savings. If your time has any value you immediately saved nothing at all. Multiple identical gamepads will swap positions randomly on each reboot, and hacked gamepads are very fragile compared to a real encoder and there are all sorts of other problems using them.
I started out in the hobby hacking gamepads and I was good at it. But after building enough projects I quickly realized that gamepad hacking was way more trouble than it was worth. Your control interface is not the best place to skimp on your project.

well said. I have really been considering just biting the bullet and forgetting the hacked gamepads, but I am so DIY that it is difficult to NOT go that route.
What encoder would you suggest?
The front runners to me are: iPac, GPWiz-40, Vigo's boards?

I'm sure RandyT (the guy who owns/runs GGG) could answer this. He's a member here, and is really good with communicating his products.

Yeah, I emailed through the Contact Us on GGG, but didnt think about PM'ing him here.
Thanks for the thought.
