Micro Switch + PWM = Button?

I have put together a "joystick" or a "button" by soldering a PWM to a micro switch(from the KOP). However, we cannot get the robot to read the button input. We do not believe the code is wrong (It might be wrong) and I'm wondering if its just the way the micro switch is connected to the Driver Station. I did a continuity test and it does have current flowing through it when the switch (button) is pressed. Is it possible to use the micro switch as a button for shooting? Is using a PWM the problem? Please reply ASAP
