If any of you want to do this for your own computer, it's pretty simple depending on the resources you have available.

Here's what you'll need (disclaimer, I hardly know electronics. If you notice something wrong correct me, please):

  • Some wire (I think it's 22 gauge? I'm not quite sure) and (optionally) heat shrink
  • Access to a soldering iron, wire cutters, wire strippers, and solder. Optionally, a heat gun, if using heat shrink.
  • At least 8 Female dupont connectors
  • At least 4 housings for the dupont connectors
  • Two switches of your choice
  • The 3D-printed (or laser cut -- make sure your material is around 1.5mm thick!) switch holder. If you want the STL, just ask, but it's just a 1.5 mm thick plate with 14mmx14mm square holes cut out for the switches and 3mm circular holes for screws. The gap between switches is 5mm.
  • Two 2x3x4mm rectangular LEDs (other kinds work; use what you'd use in a regular switch)
  • Two resistors if necessary. Check the voltage your motherboard supplies to the LEDs and adjust as needed. I contacted my motherboard's manufacturer (MSI) with my motherboard ID and they responded within a day with the voltage.
  • Two keycaps

    Instead of getting the wires and dupont connectors, you could also just buy a power button, cut off the wires, and solder them to the switches. This will probably be more cost effective. I recommend this power button, as it has a reset switch and both LEDs (and thus, wires for all of them).

    Once you have the materials, it's just a matter of soldering the wires to the pins, really. The orientation of the wires doesn't matter for the switches (i.e. you can attach them to the power button pins on your motherboard in any order), but make sure you get the right order for the LEDs (positive is the long leg, usually). I'd recommend cutting the LED legs to size as well.

    Also, if you need a resistor, what I did was just solder it to the LED leg and then to the wire. That's probably the worst way to go about that, but like I said, I don't know electronics well. I'm sure someone else has a better idea.

    EDIT:

    If you can't find a way to mount this on your case, you can always 3D print (or laser cut, or fashion using regular tools) a box for it, run the wires through it, and place it on your desk.

Typically it's just a dupont connector with 2.54 mm spacing (0.1") I bought connectors and 22awg wire off Amazon to extend mine. The only issue I had was the insulation was a bit too thick to get into the connectors, so I'd suggest 24awg.

Couldn't find the sunkee male version so similar:

There is a crimper, but needle nose pliers work fine. I soldered the wire to the connector, then crimped with pliers and inserted into the housing. Make sure you get stranded wire so if it's in an area with movement it won't break.

Here are the DuPonts

Here are the Female Connectors

and if you were making wires for breadboards, you'd need the Male Connectors

Yes, but only in hindsight!

You might also want to pick up spare pins, female ends, a crimper, and spare headers while you're at it.

Some Ribbon cable can also be useful...

I went through so many pins and headers trying to figure out the right way to crimp those bastards so they stayed put... "crimp" it.. put it in the header... give it a slight tug... cable comes out... grab a pin to lever the catch allowing the pin and female end to be removed, break catch in process, curse.. try again...

Oh well, they're cheap, and I bought a lot expecting to screw up. :)

Sweet!

My next question is, do you know the name of the connectors? it almost looks like this (Dupont connectors)

Which I have a plethora of, but it doesn't seem to be the same. Have any insight?

I used some from a motorola 26 pin connector. They look very similar to this.

Edit: Found some on amazon for a cheaper price
