Yeah this isn't very in-depth, I was hoping for a little more. I need to desolder and rewire the buttons to use for another project and I was hoping this might be a nice guide to help me do that... it's not.

You left out the fun facts about every part and components so we know what the are and what they do. Well for me that would have been ideal as I'm fixing 2 controls that don't do anything and I already have to fix a game cube as I got 2 and one works and one don't lol
