Playstation controller has direction control pad and 8 buttons. Therefore you will have 4 solder points for direction control pad, 8 solder points for buttons, and 1 solder point for ground. The ground runs to all the buttons and control pad. Therefore, you will have 13 wires total if you want to wire up all the buttons. I used the ground that was running to the L1 or R1 buttons. As far as I know, Original sony playstation controllers use a plastic overlay for button contact, not an actual board to solder to, this is no good! Hope this helps.
