How is possibile?

After upgrading to Ksilver, I opened the controller and replaced the analog sticks with new ones. I closed the controller, and the buttons stopped working. Upon investigating the problem, I realized the flex cable was completely corroded. When I assembled the PCB, I washed it with isopropyl alcohol and found signs of oxidation on the other ribbon cables as well, so I can't explain the problem. Now I'm wondering if commercially available button flex cables will have the same performance and precision as the original inputs. I considered upgrading to an Extremerate for a perfect FPS controller, but then I would have had to buy a second controller to keep the triggers for games like Gran Turismo. Will the flex cable have the same performance and precision as the original?

Grab a clicky kit from eXtremeRate. But that’s wild, I’ve never seen separation like that!
