As forhow madeas follows:
Step 1:
Open thekeyboardandgrabhiskeyboard chip.
After that,we seekthe functionsofeachpininthe keyboard chipwastocreatea list/table of datafunctions.
The trick, we firstopen theMicrosoftWordprogramfirst,then wefindthatthere isa functionof each pinon thechipby connecting thepintopinthe otherwhile looking atthe responsethat is inMicrosoft wordworksheets.For example,the pin26 witha(23 +1) weconnectyou will getthe response"Z"inMicrosoftWordworksheets,sopin23 +1 producesthe functionletter "Z",andthis step weare doingso onuntil you getthe datawe want.

Make a hole for the connecting cable with a small drill.
Connect the Joystick PCB with a chip using the keyboard cable and soldered the keyboard chip based on the data table that we created earlier.
