: after i hook up my controls to the pcb of a keyboard hack and for example i have a joystick hooked up and 3 buttons. i have up on the joystick hooked to up on keyboard and down to down and so on. there are 3 contacts on up and down and left and right and 2 contacts of each microswitch of each are used for the wiring to the pcb. am i supposed to leave the 3rd contact with nothing hooked to it or do i hook the joystick directons together and if so how???

Leave it with nothing hooked to it. Also, remember that the UP switch on the joystick is actually the LOWER switch on the joystick (which is activated when the joystick shaft is moved upward). Same for left and right. (Should be obvious, but I would have missed it if someone else hadn't pointed it out to me!)
