Lenovo Legion Go screw size
M1.6 / M2 · 2.5 to 5 mm long
The screws used on Lenovo Legion Go are M1.6 and M2 in lengths from 2.5 to 5 mm.
There are 5 separate fitment records for it, including internal chassis/shield screws (6x) (M1.6), internal cover screws (M1.6) and right controller guide screws (3x) (M2), plus 2 more in the table below.
5 of the 5 records are marked confirmed, drawn from 1 source (download.lenovo.com).
M1.6 means a 1.6 mm nominal diameter with a 0.35 mm thread pitch. Imperial look-alike: #1-72 UNF (1.85 mm) is larger; there is no true imperial equivalent.

How to check the screw before you buy
- Phone and wearable screws are tiny and often differ by fractions of a millimetre between positions; keep each one next to the hole it came from.
- Diameter: across the threads an M1.6 screw measures about 1.6 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). This device also uses M2, so measure each screw rather than assuming they match.
- Pitch: 0.35 mm from one thread crest to the next (28.57 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 records span 2.5–5 mm, which means different positions take different lengths — match each hole to its own screw.
- Driver: the source does not name the drive. Standard M1.6 heads take PH00 for Phillips and T4–T5 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 M1.6 is about 12-20 N·cm into metal threads and 6-10 N·cm into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.
Common mix-ups with M1.6 / M2
- Steam Deck backplate screws are M1.6, not M2 as commonly assumed — check the iFixit Screw ID guide before ordering.
- Xbox Series X internal chassis screws are M3, not M2 (confirmed on iFixit) — a widespread misconception.
- M2 (2.00mm, 0.4mm pitch) is NOT the same as #2-56 UNC (2.18mm) — close enough to cross-thread and strip if forced.

- The records range from 2.5 to 5 mm depending on the position, so match each screw to its own hole.
- What is the thread pitch of an M1.6 screw?

- What screwdriver do I need for Lenovo Legion Go?
- The sources do not name the drive. For M1.6, Phillips heads normally take PH00 and Torx heads T4–T5; socket heads take a 1.5 mm hex key.
- Can I use an imperial screw instead of M1.6?
- No. Imperial look-alike: #1-72 UNF (1.85 mm) is larger; there is no true imperial equivalent. Use a true M1.6 screw so it does not cross-thread or strip the hole.
