Emax

Yes it does press a bit when tightened, but the buttons seem even on mine, perhaps 1 or 2 mm are harder for me to gauge, I'll check, but I suspect you are right.  Still preferrable to me than doing irreversible mods to the PCB, if I broke it I'd have to send it to you jammie!

I put the VFD into my emax rack without any trace or PCB cutting, I just 
used very thin insulated wires to wire it in and also to secure it in place.
