When buying a replacement for a USB-C connector, are there specific details I should look for such as pin counts, pin arrangements and mounting post dimensions? Or can I just buy any connector that looks similar?

This is the connector for an XP-PEN Deco mini7 graphics tablet. It loses connection when moving the cable, and the inner part is slightly loose, even though I've barely used the thing

    All the dimensions matter, if you don't get the posts right, it won't hold to the board well and you'll be back here, possibly with worse problems.

    If the pins aren't right, you just won't have anything. See if you can find a part number or manufacturer marking anywhere on the connector, as it would narrow your search down plenty.
