Buttonresponse is bad

[Juggler_Jouzu]

Hello,

I am kind of finished with my GBZ and all the parts are working nicely. But there is one major thing which really annoys me. The d-pad really has a bad response. Especially the left-direction. I have to press it very hard to get the button to work.

My first idea was to put some kind of small plate on top of the rubber-pad to make the way shorter between pushing the button and touching the contact. The problem is: that means I have to remove the whole controller board to get to the rubber pad...

Is there any other way to fix my issue? Because otherwise I have to disassemble everything on top of the controller board first which is pretty hard after all..

(sorry for my bad englisch here I'm european)

Button response issues are usually caused by dirty or misaligned pads. If your button pads are stock/original then remove them and clean the black spots with rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol. If the pads are new (say from a aftermarket case) then they may have been knocked loose when you were putting in your board.

What PCB are you using? Wermy's original design, Helder's AIO, or one of the common ground PCBs?

I am using the original PCB board. Cut in half as the tutorial video shows.

try cleaning the black part on the rubber pads with alcohol along with the contacts on the board. Also if you've assembled it, make sure the pads aren't coming loose as you squeeze it together.
