2 axis potentiometer as a button

Hey!, I need a help for this sketch:

/*
  --Driving Force Shifter--
  This reads the input values from the 2 potentiometers and the 1 switch, to allow position data to be used as buttons.
  X and Y-axis determines the position/"gear in use", and the switch is for enabling the Reverse gear position.

  //--Sequential mode--//
  Not yet implemented!
  The shifter will also function as a sequential shifter. Press the shift shaft down while being
  centered/in Neutral position, and you will activate either H-Shifter mode or Sequential mode.
  Sequential mode goes along the neutral path left to right, Right is up, Left is down.

So the arduino are reading the 2 potentiometer and 1 button correctly but it wont register any button,i already changed the axis value to match my pot .The arduino i was using was leonardo
Thanks a lot!

You have way too much code when you are not even sure that all the hardware works. Dump ALL of the code that deals with the joystick, INCLUDING the library. Test JUST the switches. Print something that confirms that a switch is pressed or is not pressed. When that consistently prints the correct value, after the lag clears up, implement the state change detection code. Then, add the joystick stuff back in.

Post a wiring diagram - hand-drawn is fine.
