Component Substitution in Cyton Dongle

I'm fabricating the OpenBCI using the gerber files and the schematic file from the docs. While getting the components from Mouser,  I couldn't find a component that is No. 15 in the OpenBCI Dongle's BOM. It is a Multilayered Ceramic Capacitor of Capacitance 10uF. The dielectric type mentioned in the BOM is X7R. Is it okay to use the capacitor of same capacitance with a dielectric type X5R ? If X5R is used what will be its outcome on the entire project? As far as I know, only the operating temperature varies between X5R and X7R. I would like to know if it will create any problem.Expecting a quick replyimage

    The capacitor C4 on the Dongle is not extremely critical to be X7R.
    You can use X5R if that's all you have. It must be 10uF, that's pretty much it.

    Are you making OpenBCI for your personal use?

    Thank you very much biomurph. :D

    yes. we're using it for undergraduate main project.
