there is a common fault with the pro pen 2 from wacom, the pcb wobles around inside the pen, that only occured after the pen was dropped , so they must be something that used to hold the pcb steady, if you could help me knowing what it is, it would be helpful, i could mimic it to fix my pen, thanks alot (the woble interfere with the pen pressure so its really an issue, drawing is very precise).

Sorry, no clue. I have a pro pen 2 that I might take it apart someday if I find out how to do it without destroying it.
