Fightpad padhack problems

#1

Well i just hacked my 360 fightpad so that I could use it in my old Pelican Real Arcade stick because I really like my old HAPP stick/buttons. However, I have run into a mishap. Two of my buttons don’t work(A and X), I am looking for advice. I have a feeling (a really good feeling) its because i bridged some connections on the pad.

I say you did too.
There is solder everywhere.
And you have a lot of exposed wire.
You only need at most 2mm of wire stripped.

#3

fixed after a little ghetto desoldering. was a bridged connection at both of those points.
