Weirdly I found the threading of that small ribbon cable back through when reinstalling the daughter board by far the hardest thing.

Well good thing you made this video because now i don't feel the need to do this. That's a lot of work for the tape part. You didn't show the game pad site after your tape and magnet part though.

Had my right joystick stop working on my Ally, and after a few hours of testing and research, turned out to be a hardware issue. Didn't want to wait for RMA, so hopefully I can upgrade the sticks with this guide. If the right side has issues as well, I may resort to shielding and only upgrading the right stick, while just having an extra hall-effect sensor. Eventually want to swap the sticks out with heavy, metal ones. Play a lot of racing games, and (opposite to FPS games) the extra sensitivity of heavy sticks on the light strength sensors should hopefully work out great.
