I recently bought a Lilygo T-Deck Plus and had assumed it would include an antenna, since i ordered it with an external antenna. Today it arrived and apparently doesn't come with any external antenna, just a hole in the top with a rubber bung where one would go.

I had heard the antenna it comes with isn't very good, so i bought a Stubby from ZBM2 Industries. What i need to know is what connector piece i need to go between the antenna and the circuit board. The little brass-colored thing that the antenna screws onto. What's that part called and is there anything i should watch out for when finding one? Or should i just take my antenna and T-Deck into a hardware store and ask around?

Also, on another note, the reset button is too easy to press. If i take out the cover and just leave the smaller actual button will i need to worry about dust getting in thru the hole, or is that safe to do?

Almost forgot! Removing the reset button will definitely allow dust and things into the case, but others with the same issues have made files for a recessed printable replacement https://www.printables.com/model/1325258-lilygo-t-deck-reset-button/related you can also use a hobby knife to shave off about half the button
