I sanded my k100 pretty successfully. One issue however was the connection pin in the 510 connection where it connects to the topper -- its small and difficult to work in there and I ended up with the surface coming out a bit ragged. Is that cool do you think? I can check at the hardware store for a sanding dremmel bit that's narrow enough to even it out and polish it up ... if it's likely causing a problem or defeating the benefits of sanding in the first place. Thoughts? 'preciate it

You should try to get the positive pin out of the head before attempting to sand it. Trying to get at it through the 510 connection risks messing up the threads. If it is sanded flat, you'll get a better and more consistent connection and it will be easier on the 510 connector on your attys. A slanted positive pin will cause an off-axis load and uneven wear.
