it may be as simple as soldering a button accross the button traces.  One side of the button is a common line (R common) for the right side of the controller buttons it is all the same and is an easy Test Point to grab.  the other side of the button will have to carefully found and may need to be scraped in order to be used.

It really depends on which version of controller you have as to the best way to go about it, but you'll have to do the soldering on the main board of the controller for the new button, not the Daughter board.

If that board there looks like your controller, then TP18 and TP38 are the ones you'll solder the new button leads to for a duplicate O button.

Screwing up is one of the best learning tools, so long as the only thing you're not learning is how to screw up.

It's right there pretty much in the middle of the large group of TP spots, can even see it in that pic there, between TP33 and TP37.

First reply I made has both TP spots you'll be using for the duplicate O button.

The actual TP spots are up and to the left of where that marking is, there's just no room for them to be right next to the actual TP spots on the board.

That large grouping of 8 TP spots there in the middle has TP38 in it..

TP32-TP39-TP31
C15-TP33-TP38-TP37
--------TP40-TP34
