OwlTree Desktop Computer Power Button - External PC Case Motherboard Switch - On/Off Power Supply Button

I had a used NZXT H440 that I had bought for a PC build. Unfortunately, the H440 was in much rougher shape than I anticipated. Among these issues was the fact the power button had failed. The cables were crunchy and the button did not work anymore. I did some searching, and decided on this particular switch set. After gutting the original button, I channeled the new cabling into the case thru the hole where the original power button would go. The connectors fit, and I did a test fire. Power and Reset button worked like a charm. LEDs are functional as well. The pcb connector doesn't look like its quite centered, but it doesn't affect the overall function. The build quality is....okay? Like, I'm gentle with my stuff, so I don't mash my power button or anything. I have been gentle with this as well as you can tell its plastic/acrylic. I do like the transparent look with the screws though. As far as the adhesive mounting, I've had no issues with it. The quality of the adhesive is just fine, but I am mounting it to a cleaned case surface. So far, no cracks or damage to the unit. Overall, this saved this H440 and was a easy budget option for me. I feel that as long as you're gentle, this button set should last some time.

Easy to install and works great!

Works as promised. I made an open frame computer. It turns on when needed. For $8.99 it is a pretty good value. Seems to be well made.

Great.....extension PC, motherboard ON Switch...

a good solution for PC builders who just need a quick power and reset switch without resorting to mounting everything inside a case

I really love the look of this but the clear plastic cracked after only a few uses, then the adhesive that holds it in place failed. Easy enough to resolve but two fails on a simple item? Looks great and works well otherwise

I bought this, because my computer had stopped turning on, and if the problem were with the power button, this would be a cheaper and easier fix than replacing the PSU or the motherboard. Upon installing it properly, I was able to turn my computer on with it. As I write this, I have had it for five days, and it has worked promptly each time. I have also tested the restart button, and that is working too. Since it does not come with a manual, I will add some instructions and suggestions for installing it. Before connecting the power switch to your F_PANEL, you should decide how it's going to come out of your computer. On my computer, the main options were to go out an empty card slot in the back or out of an empty drive bay in the front. Since I connected it to the F_PANEL first, I found out that the power switch would not fit through a card slot. So I passed it through an empty drive bay. Since my case has covers for empty drive bays, I moved the power switch's cord to a place on the side where it could still come out if I put the cover back on. So I put the cover on over the drive bay and had the power switch come out of the side of the bay. Connecting it to your motherboard's F_PANEL involves individually connecting each connector to the specific place it should go in the F_PANEL. To do this correctly, you should refer to your motherboard's manual or carefully pull out one connector at a time, noting what it is and where it was. In case the connectors for the power switch are not aligned in the same order as the F_PANEL's ports, you can pull them apart to maneuver them better. The power switch has an adhesive backing from 3M covered by a film you can pull away when you are ready to stick it onto something. I did not want to stick it to any fixed object outside my computer, because that would make it more difficult to pull the computer out and open it up. I thought I might use the adhesive backing to stick it to a magnetic sheet, but I couldn't find the magnetic sheet. I also considered sticking it to a kitchen magnet, but the ones I found were too thin to have the magnetic strength to hold the switch. So what I did was use some strong magnets with plastic rims to keep it on the side of my computer. The power switch is composed of two panels screwed together, and the rim of each magnet is able to go over the closer panel. I have two magnets supporting the switch, and I have a third at the top holding it in place to keep it from tilting. This allows me to keep the power switch on the side of my computer, and it also allows me to move the power switch out of the way when I want to open up the computer.

I was able to add this to the back of my desktop I built. I have to face it with the back to me to show off the glass side. This gives me good access to the ports but made turning the box on difficult. This set of switches fit good, mounted easily and had a long cable.
