Buttons Ahoy!
All of my buttons now work. I forgot how totally awful soldering is and only felt confident with it by the time I got them all working, but they certainly do now. I also learned that those quick disconnects are a little tight, so after ruining some, I pried them apart a little with a jeweler's screwdriver. Actually, more frustrating than soldering was the desoldering really. I'd only used the little pen suction thing before and on recommendation was using a desoldering braid. Didn't burn myself like I expected, but I'm sure that's to come when I wire and mount the joystick hopefully later tonight. Each button is wired to a spot on the PCB, while the grounds are daisy chained together.
