Then if you want to get serious... "Mouser Electronics"... they have... everything.

Hello there,

You can see my pc build here:

The power button on my PC case is aging and it takes several clicks on it before my pc powers on. I'm afraid at one point it will no longer work and for that sole reason to break the pc down and rebuild it entirely in a new case seems to be stupid and very annoying lol.

Therefore it seems more interesting to make a backup for that eventually, that will continue to work if the main button no longer is responsive.

I still have a PCIe x16 Slot available on the motherboard but not sure I got room to connect it to the power supply. I remember that my old motherboard had a power button on it and this was very useful. The one I have now does not however.


Managed to resolve this but yet to test for longer duration that it really works...

The switches most cases use with a cable can be found on Amazon or other web based PC shops or you could add you own custom (better quality switch), the switch is a push to make switch & is non locking.

If you do not use your reset switch on the case you could use that switch & just click it into place in your case, you may need to use a "glue gun" to hold it in place like the original?
