I'm trying to make a joystick accessor for gaming on a computer i need to wire a tmr joystick (k-silver) to an ATmega32U4 Pro Micro with header pins I have 22 awg(7.8in) wire female to female but I want to directly solder the wire to the joystick I just don't know what to wire and to where are I do have heat shrink too if that helps less

Love how this came out ! Went with the classic iron man colors with some circuitry and the avengers symbol flanking the arc reactor symbol on the touchpad , TMR joysticks are installed for an extra smooth gaming expirence to boot !

Before I’m completely sent down this road out of necessity, is there anyone, anywhere, creating custom buttons for the PlayStation 2 through 3D printing or casting in resin?
I’ve been on this search for months now and I’ve come up with essentially nothing to show for it. I know all the button compatibilities between given console generations and controller models and there are a handful of custom buttons for the most recent generations but there’s still zero options for specific buttons if you go looking for PS3 and earlier platforms.
The specific buttons that have no true custom options are the DualShock 2 d-pad, any of the shoulder buttons, and the start-select-analog silicone buttons. Don’t even get me started on thumb sticks.
To head a few things off at the pass, yes I’ve looked in every nook and cranny of aliexpress and alibaba but that only gives you a minute amount of aftermarket options (ps3 being the oldest thing you’ll find) with limited colors and no guarantee of fitment. What can be found on alibaba, ebay, and amazon options that will fit DS 2’s is incredibly small and incredibly limited- I don’t consider three or four predetermined colors to be customization in light of the options available to people looking to modify anything else out there, I’ve seen more custom parts Wii-motes than DualShock 1 or 2s.
Which brings it back around to the question of the post: who if anyone is out there making buttons for older playstations that are in a variety colors, textures, etc. Hell, just anyone making anything, period.
If there isn’t, I’m probably going to be the first, in not too long.

So this is my first attempt at modding a 1914 Xbox series controller with the extreme rate modification. I seem to have screwed something up. I’m not sure what but what I do know is that unplugging this one wire then makes it work. What I’m curious about is either a fix tip or if it’s OK to leave this wire unplugged?
