Anyone know off hand the size and thread for the screw on the accessory connector of the Astro Saber?

They are the same thread as D-Sub connector screws, and a Google search tells me those are #4-40.

I've used D-Sub thumbscrews on homemade Saber programming cables.

Cool, thanks. Had to rob the screw out of my keyload cable... didn't feel like holding the cable for a long program session!

Heh, was going to say the same thing Otaku. I ended up glueing a small plastic tube over a DSub screw to set the depth and give it something to push against. It works as good or better than the original.
