Soldering and button help
HaRuMaN:
Don't do a keyboard hack...
You could buy an Ipac, Keywiz, or some other encoder.
Or, if you really want to hack something, use a PC gamepad. Lots of games accept joystick input, and for those that don't, there is a program called joy-to-key that will take your joystick inputs and convert them to keyboard inputs.

Sidewinder gampad hack will save you a lot of headaches. I've done it a few times with gamepads I found for $1.50 each

Your button nut may not be working because it doesn't go with that button. Once upon a time, I had a giant lot of used buttons. There were 4-5 styles of button nuts too. Some of the button nuts were not compatible with certain styles of buttons. Others worked, but I could tell they weren't a true match.

Just for the future, one way to line up the threads on nuts is to put the nut on as if you were going to screw it on, but instead gently and slowly turn it as if you were unscrewing it. When you feel it "click" or drop, start screwing it on. This only helps if the problem is lining up the threads, and sometimes there are two clicks per rotation and only one of them is the starting point.
