Have you tried using tweezers on the problem switches after soldering?  It's possible you have a bad switch or two, it's also possible (though rare) to overheat a pad while soldering disconnecting it from the trace.

If the tweezers don't work post a pic of the PCB and if it's not obvious say what it is (so I can see what should be connected to what in the firmware)
