Review on πŸ”³ APIELE Momentary Pre-Wired Aluminum Normally Closed Switch by Shedrick Roach

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Need remote PC power button?

Failed to load media. So I needed the power switches to build my PC but the problem was they had to be 6ft from the actual motherboard. So I cut the pins off an old computer case, connected them to some long colorful jumpers I had laying around, and then attached them to these 12mm APIELE buttons. Two wires for the PC switch, two wires for the PC power light, two wires for the reset switch, and two wires for the hard drive activity light. Plugged it in and everything worked like clockwork. I wanted to make a green LED for power and a yellow one for HDD activity, but the APIELE button with the yellow LED was disappointingly weak compared to the green one. So I just used green for both. I'll tag them later. Then I just drilled a few holes in some keystone blanks and screwed them in. Viola. long PC power button with a clean trapezoidal finish. Now the wires can live in the wall and go to the computer, and all you see are pretty little knobs and lightbulbs.

Pros
  • 2 pcs. Brand new 12mm pre-assembled black aluminum alloy LED push button switch; LED voltage: 12V only. Hole size required: 0.5 inch/12mm
Cons
