Each pushbutton has a "micro switch" that is removable.
Each joystick has four of these micro switches each.
The Joystick switches are not easily removable, and they have a "paddle" on them.
The paddle pushes the plunger on the micro switch, so all the switches wire the same way.
Each micro switch has a common contact, a normally open contact, and a normally closed contact.
Here is a diagram I drew to help explain the way the switch works.
Just keep in mind that even though the pushbutton switch and the joystick look a little different, they work the same way.
I will be using the Common contact and the Normally Open contact. The normally closed will not be used on any of the switches on this control panel.
The mouse click buttons look a lot different from the micro switches, but they work the same way. Except they have only a common and a normally open contact. (Just two connections).
