The 69 mech mod is so called because uniquely, the fire button can be situated at the top of the mod, OR at the bottom of the mod. It is a creating of Atmomixani, and the older brother of the Nemesis, so certain design features of the Nemesis originated on the 69 mod.
My example came from Fasttech, item number 1561100 for $22.
Not ever having watched any reviews of this mod, or even reading up about it, there's a few things which caught me out and needed a bit of thinking time.
As best as I can tell, in function the clone is identical to the original. Parts interchange etc. I do feel though that the lower tube, the telescoping part, is made of a lesser grade material on the clone (its a bit chinese shiny metal, if you know what I mean) but works perfectly.
Top cap: adjusts for atty positive pin depth, as well as adjust for battery rattle.. Its like the chi-you with a pin inside a pin type arrangement. It also has the same airflow arrangment as the Nemesis (well, the 69 had it first) with a rotating outer ring
Bottom cap: also has adjustment pin.
Both of these adjustments may be quite tight when you get your mod, and the top cap pin adjustment is reverse threaded so throws you off a bit, but it works, and works well.
(assume the switch is at the top for this description)
Switch: weird. Its sort of like a two pole crossbar arrangement. One upright pole is on the bottom, connecting to the battery.
The other part of the upright pole is the topcap
When you press the switch, another pole slides in from the side, and simultaneously makes contact with the top and bottom poles.
It is spring loaded, and is an absolute delight to use. Twisting the switch 90 degrees means it can still be pushed, but the poles all miss each other so no firing takes place. Effectively, your mod is disarmed
In use, once setup, this is a lovely little mod. It works well, fires reliably and the switch is a lovely touch, not weighty. I use mine with the switch at the top, and thumb press it, or index finger...whichever strikes me as the easiest at the time. Admittedly, I dont change attys often on this mod, so the "pin set up arrangement counter rotating anti-clockwise how much do I turn" topcap doesnt become an issue. It IS something you will need to spend some time on, else you will get no-fires/mis-fires, and does need tailoring for each atty. In this respect, Nemesis is an improvement, much quicker and much simpler to adjust
My side-button journey has only this device and a kts/kts+/kts-storm, but without a doubt this is the one I prefer using. Better built, more high-end features, and the kts just had a poor button which got hot and required constant cleaning to prevent this.
If you are a fan of side buttons, whether at the top or bottom, then the 69 mod should be on your radar. Its cleverly designed, and all the adjustments you need ARE there, they're just difficult to spot.
