Well I got a Gravis Gamepad USB not to long ago to hack apart and wire up to my arcade cabinet. I opened it up to discover that Gravis decided it would be necessary to put diodes on every trace, including the commons, and use them as transistors. Why? I don't know. But I was wondering if anyone knows an easier way to get the common off of the traces, so I only have to have 1 common, instead of 16 commons? Thnx in advance.
