: ive got the controller torn apart and mine doesnt have the little holes to solder wires to, it has a pcb going thru the main board perpindicular and has nice solder points execpt for the ground...weird????

: anyways it looks like there are three grounds 1 for the six buttons, 1 for the dir-pad, and one for start.
: i thought they all used the same ground because a matrix layout shows:

: u-d-l-r--------------
: --------1-2-3-4-5-6--
: --------------------s

: which if they use a common ground it would be easliy wired as
: u-d-l-r-1-2-3-4-5-6-s

: anyone know the answer to this?

If you goto my website and scroll down alittle you can see a pic of my Mad Catz Dreampad after it had been soldered. The Brown wire if where I connected the ground. Hope that helps. Its the one where the UP DOWN RIGHT & LEFT come together.
