ASUS ZenBook / ROG screw size
M2 · 3 mm long
ASUS ZenBook / ROG takes M2 metric screws, 3 mm long.
It is listed for internal M.2 SSD bracket and daughterboard screws.
This entry is marked reported and comes from manualowl.com.
For reference, M2 is 2 mm across the threads at 0.4 mm pitch. The imperial size people confuse it with: #2-56 UNC (2.18 mm) is close but not interchangeable.

How to check the screw before you buy
- Rack and enclosure hardware mixes metric and imperial (#8-32, #10-32, #6-32), so confirm the thread before forcing a screw.
- Diameter: across the threads an M2 screw measures about 2 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
- Pitch: 0.4 mm from one thread crest to the next (25 crests per centimetre). A thread pitch gauge or the pitch-gauge tool settles it in seconds.
- Length: measure from under the head to the tip for pan, button, wafer and cap heads; countersunk (flat) heads are measured overall.
- The record states 3 mm. Going longer risks bottoming out or touching parts behind the hole; going shorter loses thread engagement.
- Driver: the source does not name the drive. Standard M2 heads take PH0 for Phillips and T6 for Torx, and a 1.5 mm hex key for socket heads; a bit that fits loosely will cam out and strip the head.
- Tightening: no device-specific torque is published in these records. The site's general figure for M2 is about 25-40 N·cm into metal threads and 12-20 N·cm into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.
Common mix-ups with M2
- M2 CMM stylus threads are a de facto industry standard (Renishaw-originated) rather than a formal ISO CMM spec; do not confuse with M2 electronics screws which have different head/length conventions.
- ASUS ROG Ally screw sizes circulating online (M2x16, M2x10) come from a community Q&A, not an ASUS manual — measure before ordering.
