# Unicorne MX Joystick Fix
12+
13+
There are two fixes for the Unicorne MX Joystick.
14+
15+
## Easy way
16+
17+
On the back of the PCB you will see something like this:

20+
21+
all you need to do is solder a wire between the 2 pads marked.
22+
23+
This is quite easy the 2 pads are big and you just need to jump the 2 pads.
24+
25+
26+
## Hard way
27+
28+
29+
With the easy way you will have a wire on the back of your PCB.
30+
31+
With the hard way you dont need a wire but its harder.
32+
33+
On the top of of the PCB you will see a VIA on the top of the PCB next to the boot switch. I have marked it in red.
34+
35+
Next to that via you need to scrape off the silk screen to reveal copper.
36+
Next just us that as a jumper and jump it with solder.
37+
38+
You can see the jump marked in green.
