Anyone know the distance between the u360 Magnet and the PBC board?

Working on modding my u360's, but I realized I don't know what the distance was between the bottom of the magnet and the PBC board above it? Does anyone have one they can measure or know off the top?

Also, does anyone know if it must be precise? Or can the configuration utility fix any difference in the gap? (Assuming it's close).

Thanks!

From what I remember, the magnet is as close to the sensor as you can get without touching when you move the joystick. I believe the edge of the magnet actually touches the sensor on one of my U360s when I move it in one of the 4 directions - the sensor isn't perfectly flat.

I'll try to look at mine tonight if I get home before midnight. I need to check one anyway, it does not always return to center. Maybe there is some debris in there. Bur anyway, out of curiosity, what are you modifying?

I'm adding an LED, but you could easily add a topfire with the same method (I haven't fully researched the rotary ability, but may try that down the road). I have successfully installed a stereo jack into the unit and once I figure out the distance and try out the standoffs I'll create, I'll post a how to with pictures shortly there after.

Mine measure 1/8" between the magnet and sensor. Sorry, no mm ruler around.
