SNES controller screw type

Post by Xevin »

Hello all. This is my first post here, but I browse these forums regularly. I've run into a problem with a project I'm working on and I'm hoping someone here knows the answer to this.

Does anyone know what size the screws are inside an SNES controller? (NOT the console screws) It looks like an M2, but the threads are different.

Thanks for your help!

After a TON of searching and buying the wrong screws (nearly $40 in worthless screws altogether now) I have the answer!!!

2-56x5/16”

That's right folks... This is THE screw used in a SNES controller!
