    Interestingly they use a picture of the R5 for the R4 screw kit guide. To answer your question, some of the sizes are good, but I'm unsure about the others. For example, on the R5, the keyboard is attached to the top cover, which is screwed in from the bottom by M2.5 x 8mm screws. That screw guide isn't accurate for the R5, but the R5 uses M2.5 x 8mm, M2.5 x 5mm screws, and M2.5 x 3mm screws. There is another size that's used, but I don't know what it is (those are the light grey screws. the rest are black).
