The newest board just arrived, and I've completed another build with the vga screen! I have one question about the board and the button presses. When pressing almost all of the buttons, they seem slightly unresponsive. To get actions to occur, I have to make sure to press down hard to guarantee a response. Have you heard of this issue before? I've looked all over the forums, but I never see anything about the responsiveness of the button presses.
I'll try to just clean the board and buttons with isopropyl alcohol, but please advise on any other methods!
Thanks for everything!

did you ever solve this issue? Did you reprogram the board like @Helder suggested? I seem to be having the same issue. But it is only happening with my X + Y buttons (noticeably worse with the Y button). I have tried a few different silicone button pads, and cut them so they do not hit the screen etc...But I still need to press the button quite hard to register.
Before I buy a USBasp programmer I would like to know how you resolved this (if you did). I will likely take it apart one more time and rearrange the silicone pad again and if that doesn't work i'll try to reprogram.
I also recall seeing somewhere that someone added small pieces of plastic under the buttons to make the button pads contact the PCB better, anyone do that?
It's not the end of world, and I have just been dealing with it, but I prefer to use the B and Y buttons when playing NES, GB, GBA, etc... But for now I have just use the A and B buttons.
