Most used keys in most keyboard driven games. S X = up down   . / = left
right

Hammered spacebars and return keys too.

On some the quality control was a bit off, and the keys weren't flush with
the board, this caused the push load to be taken on the solder, and the
other problem mentioned earlier. I'd definitely use wire - solder blobbing
just delays the next failure.
