I soldered all the wires to a perf board and used a dremel to make them as flat as possible.

Awesome, thanks for sharing!
How do the buttons feel? I've been looking for an easy to do way of making button pads for a project, this may just fit the bill.

The buttons feel just like the original, you just have to take your time so you wont rip off the solder point. Ripped one of them and was a pain to get it back on but works like a charm now
