Brilliant! Liked and Subscribed. I ordered the external power switch (plus it looks like it ALSO comes with the splitter cables).

This is gonna be a great upgrade for what I have in mind. taking my computer and sticking it in a closet with an external power switch, and Power LED being ran all the way from the closet to the L shaped Desk. that way I don't have to run from my desk to my closet and turn on my PC that way.

Amazing video. I was able to do this myself in under 10 minutes. Thanks so much

Cool idea, maybe I can incorporate it into my next build. With gpu and cpus coming out I'm waiting to see whether RTX 40 or 30 series or AMD is the way to go. Fun times.

Cute switch. But you don't actually have to check the polarity for mechanical switches. It's just like touching two wires together - doesn't matter which one goes where. Same with a relay btw. Could be different for an electronic switch though (idea for next video: hacking a 433MHz radio remote light switch or similar into a PC power switch) .

Thank you so much!

Could U please answer this question? Does ATX external power switch work with mini PC's? The reason I ask becasue my recently purchase DKE power switch work with my desktop but not with my mini (which I think is ITX)!

If you've got a soldering station and an old keyboard you could make one,it's a rather affordable alternative

Great video! I have a Dell XPS that has a 5-pin connector with the power switch and power LED all integrated into that one connector. Is there a way I can still use this external power button to connect to my PC? Also, the external power button I got came with a splitter that has 4 connectors total for two power switches and two LEDs (one set for original computer case and other set for new power button). Therefore the connector that is meant to connect to the motherboard is a single, long 4-pin connector. Would this work somehow with my computer? Thanks for the help.

Would this work with a laptop?

nice vid Max

Is this possible for a laptop ?

Doo you need the ''weideer 12mm Momentary Push Button Switch Metal''?

Thanks, awesome review, question, can the case power led be connected to the power led header - and the switch led be connected to the storage activity led? or the opposite? thanks!

I need something like this, but for a laptop 😅 any ideas?

Could you do a video on how to wire a race ignition as a pc power button

can i hook this to a mini HP EliteDesk 800 g2?

I had a simular question to this... is it possible that when you press the power button on you pc to turn on all your monitors because i dont want my monitors in power save mode...

Well edited video. Would you happen to know the length of the cord coming out of your case? I know it will be different for each case, but luckily I have the same one as you. Thank you for your time!

My power switch for my Asus G11CD is broken. Even though the desktop is about 8 years old I'm hoping this anywhere power switch will save me a bunch of $$ compared to having to replace an entire machine as I'm not ready to upgrade yet lol. The connector pins are there in the motherboard thankfully.

can i do this with my laptop if yes how and if no is there any other way to do ..??

If you replace a power switch on a dell computer because you want to swap the motherboard will it work

thank you!! i bought a button and it didn't come with any instructions. i felt it was pretty self explanatory but I wanted to be sure.

Can we connect it to mini pc intelnuc?

Great job my hillbilly friend. I’m going to give it a shot.

kinda of a dick move of them not including the damn led splitter

hey my pc is dell 7050 micro, i cant seem to find those pins on the manual either

is it possible to install this to a laptop

I was able to do this but way cooler instead doing it with a Lamborghini start button on my desk and holy it feels sick

does this work with Xbox series s?

now how do i make that 1 key keyboard

I think I'll just get a momentary switch from auto shop and splice in with disconnects from the stock button wires. So I can use either

what if laptop? is that possible?

What’s the name of this cable

Does it work with xbox

A quick question i got a propleme (too long to describe) can i unplug my recently power button and just put an second extern button on my table so that i have only the extern power switch

Help!!!! So I have a GIGABYTE B550 Vision D-P motherboard, and a Lian li o11 case my front panel connector doesn't have separate pins so can I keep it plugged in and plug this little power switch next to it or do I have to remove it? I'm new to this

nice but i cant find that switch in italy or europe reseller and i had to import from usa to 60$ with ship wtf...

Hey ive got a question if my power button doesnt work anymore can i just keep using the screw driver manually to open my pc will it like harm any of my components or break anything because im kind of scared but i already did power jump my pc and it work can i just keep using my screw driver for the rest of the pcs life span? thank you!

So my wire for that part of the motherboard has all of those wires together could it still work?

Could someone help me on this, I have a Dell motherboard (0427JK) and I don't think I have these pins like the video? I think mine is a 'mini' version but don't know enough about PC's to say for definite, are there cables I can get that would go from mini to standard as I have one of these power buttons on order already?

Can you use this switch On a standard laptop?

what if my front panel header cables are grouped into one single 10 pin female cover? What im trying to say is i cant only take out the power switch cable i can only take out all of them at once

Is it possible to just wrap a copper wire around the pins on the motherboard instead of using a female connector?

Is there any chance you know how to add an external power switch to a laptop? I want to keep my laptop closed and operate the PC on my external monitor but the power button is on the inside and i need it on the outside.

Only if the button got a pretty light in it i say, yes xD Otherwise i say, kinda useless. Unless your pc is on the ground and it got the button on the lower part of the front panel. Than i say yes, a power switch on your desk could be nice, so you dont have to go under your desk every time you want to start your pc. A little quality of life button. But got to be pretty and with a pretty light... Otherwise no deal. ^^

can u do for laptop

do you know 2.5GbE switch？

How long is the cable? I need a cable that’s 3m long really

Does this work on a laptop?

My cpu button is damaged. Can I use this as a permanent solution? Don't want to buy new cabinet. Please advice

do anyone know if i can do this with a laptop with closed lid? i use my laptop as a desktop and is always closed under my monitor support

but what if my front panel cable comes all together

Is it okay if I dont plug the LED lights?

Great video! Really lame shirt tho, go SpaceX!

I connected this with a sonoff re5v1c which let's me tell my alexa to turn my pc on and off

Why is this a cable? Ugh. I need it to be wireless. The only one I’ve seen uses an adapter card which is dumb too. Seems like this would be easy???

the switch is out of stock

I have a better solution! I simply wanted to turn on my PC by remote control at home as I did not want to get up out of my chair with my yellow lab sitting on my lap. I also did not want to use a phone or app to turn it on and off so here is how I did it. I added a remote control to my Minisforum mini pc by adding a "remote control power strip". Set the Bios (hit delete button during boot up), change the setting to enable pc to start after power outage. Then simply turn the pc off normally but after pc shuts down power off the power strip. When you turn power strip back on PC boots up automatically. Simple, cheap and effective! Hope this helps everyone.
