Refer to the instruction sheet for the KXPD2: https://ftp.elecraft.com/KX2/Manuals%20Downloads/E740295%20KXPD2%20Paddle%20Instructions%20Rev%20C.pdf
This states that the thumb screws are 4-40 half-inch long. I regret greatly my purchase of the KXPD2 in 2017. It is the worst iambic key I've used in the past 40 years, with a bizarrely wide finger spacing that's twice that of the KXPD3 and all other iambic keys I've used. It permits adjustment of contact spacing only and not the important spacing between paddles. The paddle finger spacing is so wide as to be unusable. Mine arrived missing one of the set screws (not shown or listed in the instruction sheet) designed to lock the contact spacing set screws. The key came with a spare spring that is not described in the instructions (is it the same spring force as the installed spring?). The key requires two different Allen wrenches, but has a storage channel in the key frame for only one. The design should have used only one size Allen wrench for ALL adjustments. I suggest caveat emptor for the KXPD2 and the MH3, just as I did 20 years ago for the K1 KTS1 and KBT1. Everything else Elecraft that I've owned since 2000 has been great, except for the radiant heat-absorbing paint job on the KX2.
