Anyone knows the dimensions on the keyboard rivets?

These screws are having a delivery term of 1 month. They seem to be casted (not machined) as they are too small. I am not Swiss but for the moment I live in Switzerland, they are famous for their watches. I am pretty sure I can find better quality screws here so I was asking if somebody knows the dimensions of these screws so I can order the equivalent.

@Codrut Popescu - Hate to tell you 90% of screws are formed not cast. A rod of material is heated and a press with a form is pressed into it. Similar to how a water wheel works spitting them out at a very high rate.

This technique has been used for years. All of the screws Apple uses are made this way. Only the stand-offs are machined.

If you own a Tesla its lower chassis is die-cast formed! Why Tesla Needed the Giga Press

So don’t jump thinking formed or casted via a press makes the part weak. I think you’ll discover a machined screw in this size will be quite expensive.
