hey guys im modding my wii controller (i know i know) im wiring up some tact switches ive done this before with a 360 and no problems. doing the basic way which is soldering the wires to the button contacts so one earth, one input/output each (you know what i mean)

the issue i have is that all soldered up i get nothing. but i unsolder one wire, tapping the wire against the tact switch it works, holding it up against the tact switch and pressing the button nothing happens?
