This one u can just buy any switch from HW shop. Saw it at home fix/selffix. The PC switch work by shorting 2 pins momentarily, even doorbell will work, if u not worried about aesthetics.

Just find a unused 2 wire with the end connector and zhng to the switch

My power switch also spoil, now have been using Wake on Lan (need enable also) and with my phone I turn on the PC haha. Pretty cool.

I did however buy quite an obiang physical switch from AliExpress. Basically it has very long wires for you to connect to your motherboard and then you stretch it all the way out to where you want to put the switch. You can search computer power button on AliExpress.
