Thought I would share this experience,
Last night I installed for the first time an Xapt3r Solderless on a 1.6 with the 2.6CE, Great little device and very kool.
However after removing the mobo screw and replacing it with the supplied one in the Xapt3r pack I could not sit the adapter correctly onto the LPC. It would simply keep rising one end and not make a solid connection. I ended up using the original mobo screw that was removed, this did the job perfectly and has a good solid connection.
The spring legs are a little tricky to get in place especially 2 of them, one I feel is way to long as it only needs to go about .5 of a centimeter, this is arm (E) if I remember rightly.
Other than that was a joy to install and works perfectly, love the lights for each connection, my only fear is now if the box takes a little knock will the legs jump out of place.
So would recomend this installation but can be fiddly.
