- Fastener thread size is M2
- Touch sensors can be tricky, so we have created features on the top to use pins. The brightness touch sensor wire can be soldered to this, and seems to work well in our testing.
- Slightly larger exterior dimensions than an OEM pocket. The game cartridges will sit slightly above the top

Notes:
- These parts are not mass produced and we use multiple machine shops, so surface finish, texture, and color may vary between batches. Colors may also look different depending on your screen, the lighting, and variations in anodizing. Colors can vary from part to part - black is the least noticeable.
- Please be sure to review our refund policy for canceled and returned orders.
- Please see our FAQ page for information about international orders, import fees, and tariffs. We do not change the value of the shipment and we do not have control over your particular country's fee/tariffs/taxes.
- Brass parts come as machined and may show oxidation/discolor. Assume you will need to do your final surface finishing using a flexible 3M sanding pad. (The 3M 7448 usually works well). Then, apply clearcoat, poly, or other coating to maintain the shine.
