i ham fisted a tact switch mod into a broken controller i had. plays wonderfully dispite me royally fucking up the solder work. (even used hot glue as shock absorbers though it was probably not needed)

pic related: how to fuck up a very simple mod. still managed to work perfectly dispite this. the reason it looks so bad is i did not clean the board very well so the solder did not want to stick at all.

try not to cringe too much at my poor soldering skills but this has been working perfectly for about 5-6 months of causal use.

tact switch modding a atari 2600 controller is probably the best thing ever, so responsive.

Although i had issues removing the residue from the packing tape that covered the board resulting in the solder not wanting to stick well i did a tactile switch Atari 2600 controller mod.

once i finally got a good and solid connection i secured the tact switches with some hot glue to function as a shock absorber. Going to the plastic parts i dremeled off the plastic points previously used to press the metal disc type contacts giving just enough room to activate the switches. the button proved to be a bit trickier but i got that working by removing a bit of the center prong on the underside of the orange button and then shaving off a bit of the underside of the shaft the orange button slips in to.

It's a hack job but it works perfect, i will post a completed project picture after this.
