I think it depends on the circumstance. If you frankencased the original controller in, I think it is easier to use the original circuit board. If you drilled the holes, rubber tact switches are pretty easy to incorporate. They both feel pretty similar to me

If you use rubber tact switches, try to feel each one before putting it in permanently. I've found that some are really tough and some are really soft. They seem to have quite a range for some reason.

Like he said. Never rush things.

I wanted to use rubber tact switches, because it is very hard for me to solder on the controller board and the cables always get loose. But unfortunatly i cant find rubber tact switches. the one from alps cost 33 euro for shipping to germany and i didnt find some elsewhere. because of that ill try again to do it with the controller board

Do you scrape off the masking over the trace on the controller board and solder to that?
Here are some soft tacts on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/PKG50-Tactile-P ... Sw7I5TwMxC
They have free shipping but it takes 15-25 days to ship.

I read this as "Inertial controller buttons" and got excited/curious of something new. Then was kind of disappointed.
