So I successfully finished
Spiffyshoes' solderless gamepad hack. This did not take very long once I stripped the wire... speaking of which is a very critical part of being able to pull this off. Spiffyshoes uses 26 gauge solid core wire so be sure that you have 26 gauge solid core wire. I picked it up at
Fry's Electronics for about $3 for 35 feet.
Did I vary from Spiffyshoes' instructions? A little. I did not cut the ribbon, but otherwise, I tried to follow everything in his set of instructions.
On the other end of each wire, I used a quick disconnect so that the wires easily connect to the Cherry switches on each button and the joystick.
