PowerRamp / PsychoPad Hack Question

I am currently hacking an Act-Labs Playstation PsychoPad KO (http://www.actlab.com/arcade3.htm) which is very similar to the PowerRamp joystick (http://www.arcadecontrols.com/images/powerramp_front.jpg) hacked for the well known Roswell cabinet (http://www.arcadecontrols.speedhost.com/images/Roswell_TheHeart.jpg ). Arcade Controls has a page with pics of the PowerRamp at: http://www.arcadecontrols.com/arcade_powerramp.shtml

I have rewired all of the wires which led to microswitches within the joystick, but two buttons, "ESC" and "ENTER" on the powerramp, did not have wires connected to them, and will require soldering. There seem to be four solder points for each button, two of them being grounds. I do not know which two of the four points to solder, perhaps it does not make a difference..? Also, can you daisy chain the grounds (I want to keep wonnector wires to the arcade controls under 25 to allow me to use a 25 pin D connector), it seems as though none are common, but I know little about EE. Any pointers?

Thanks fellas, don't know where I'd be on the project without the community!
