Microswitch controllers on Stella.

Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm having a difficult time getting microswitch controllers to work properly on Stella on my PC. An original 2600 analog controller works fine but I hate the feel of it so I bought a custon arcade joystick on Ebay for $37. The down button doesn't work. So I bought a Retro-bit Atari controller on Ebay for $14 and the left button doesn't work correctly. I've mapped both numerous times. I took the retro-bit controller apart and it didn't look like it had microswitches but it feels like it. I'm using a 2600dapter. Do microswitch controllers just not work with Stella?

The original 2600 joystick is digital membrane switches.  Stella just sees the PC USB joystick - it does not interface directly to the controller hardware.

 

Sounds like it the micro-switches are not making good contact, so the D9 is not reliably detecting when they are on.
