No diode, or anything needed.
However if you intend to use it into a hitbox, you should put a SOCD Cleaner system to make it tournament legal (if you ever want to use it competitively)

thanks man. I will do some research of the SOCD later. I need it to work first.
sir, I pm’ed you for a while but got no response. Thankfully that one is solved. But now I have a new problem that need your help. I got the pad (pdp mortalkombat x ps4) modded to the cherry mx box, all buttons work, but the down button on the dpad. Is there any alternative solder point for this button? I tried to solder it on the other side but no luck
Thank you and best regards
@dodathp113 Unrelated to your actual post, but Gummo hasn’t visited here in about 2 years. I believe he had a kid back then which took up most of his time, and he JUST had another kid a few days ago.

Your solder joint is probably cold, or you may have broken a trace. Test the contacts with a multimeter and try shorting the contacts while it’s connected to a console and see if it works. It could even be the keyboard switch.
wow, I didn’t know that. Since he got a lot of info about this, I think I can learn a thing or 2. Guess I’m on my own now 
I tested a few things but I cant identify the issue
- The cherry switch is nice, tested
- Soldering is on point
- I shorted the signal directly to a ground with a wire but no luck.
I think there should be an alternative solder point I could take advantage of but I cant find it so far
Lemme have a look tomorrow. I had hacked a PDP MKX PS4 pad a while ago; it’s still sitting around somewhere.

hurray, thank you man. Please let me know if you have found an alternative solder point. I will take a picture of my soldering work as soon as I can (pretty messy with wires but not the solder joints)
Sorry man, I checked out my hacked PCB and not only is it in a project box, I soldered everything to the underside, so it’s not really possible for me to check for alternative solder points.

that’s a shame thank you for helping though
Your soldering is exactly like mine. Guess the pcb is pretty much dead now
Hi, it’s me again. I found this on a chinese e-commerce site
Has anyone encountered this one so far, it’s only 10$ shipping to my cojuntry so I think it could be a new alternative for padhack
Nope, never seen it.
You could open it up probe around with a multimeter and add your findings to the page.
omg, thank you, This will help a lot

got my hex inverters in the mail (i ordered 3 because i have 3 sticks using hori mini pads) and wired them up like in this post:
“-connect the ADC point from the pcb to pin 14 on the chip
-connect R2 and L2 to pin 2 and 4 on the chip
-connect pin 1 and 3 to their respective buttons
-connect 7 to ground”
one of my sticks is working fine, but for the other 2 the triggers go crazy for a bit after plugging in. did i just get some bad hex inverters? they’re SN74HC14N.
I did try wiring pin 14 to usb vcc instead of the ADC point but that didnt help.
