in a nutshell, i krazy glued the dpad button to a rubber washer, which is then glued to the button on the pcb...the top flat part of the joystick on the pcb actually comes off to reveal a square shart, so even though its a direct connection, i can still take it apart as the dpad just presses onto the main nav button....the rubber is there to give it a bit of flex incase you accidently pressed to hard - which might rip the switch right off the pcb without the rubber....its actually alot more work than that as it required some material removal from both the dpad and the nav button on the pcb...not to mention several attempts at glueing it to get it lined up, and 5-6 disasemblys/reassemblys in the process....

but rest assured, the dpad is now quite awesome compared to the flimsey excuse for one that it was stock....
