Installation:
1. Align board over button contacts, ensuring that the through-holes align with the test points on the board
2. Solder all points on the button board to the test points below. Best practice is to apply gentle pressure to either side of the pads while applying solder to ensure the board remains flat
3(A/B only). If you wish to retain DC jack functionality, run a wire from the GND pad on the board to and ground point on the GBC. Otherwise, bridge the pads at GND_ALT on the board.
4. Success!
