I am still wondering what the best north/south alignment for the magnet is though , or does it matter ? In the image below I currently have the magnets mounted like C.)(a) but I now think perhaps they should be mounted like A.) with N/S vertical along the Sensor. My TLE5010 PCB's are mounted with the + Pin on the Board UP , looking at the bottom of the FLCS while I work on it (upside down in a small bucket) if it matters ...see images.
The best is C) but usually doesn`t matter different position because you need only +/- 20-30 degrees not 360. Example A) is the worst and B) is usually OK for joystick. When calibrating problem occurs, set "Magnet offset". It is software offset allignment.

I had a problem with this PCB:
During testing with short wires was everything OK but inside joystick with longer wires problems started. I found out that this PCB was modified against original PCB from first versions of MMJoy2. Only 1 resistor is missing. I added it and board is working.
Cut the copper route where I marked you RED lines and then add SMD resistor (10kOhm or 1kOhm) where is BLUE mark. But I am not sure what is problem in your case. Sorry I didn`t read all your reports. Can you summarize for me? :-)

And at the end one thing - when you have many long wires and want to decrease electromagnetic interference it is appropriate to twist wires together (like plait). Not all together but from 1 sensor TLE5011 all 6 wires together, from one ShReg together... Look at my boards:
After looking at your "Repaired" PCB Image I decided to look at older versions of the PCB files included with different Firmwares' and found that on early versions of the PCB there is a Resistor on the DATA (MOSI) connection , I am not sure why it was not on later versions of the PCB or if it was a mistake? as I don't know electronics , but the designs in the 2015-11-18 Firmware PCB folder show the Resistor too and there is even a .layout for 8 bit (1 chip) and 16bit (2 chip) DIP 74HC165 Chip Boards.
They are easier to look at as enlarged (500%) PDF's , and they are good for printing and working from that way too , so I have attached them for others as well...
