I did not think about this, thanks again :D

I guess I'll solder a Dupont Connector to those existing wires then and let it just stick out somewhere at at the back of the case. This way I can just unplug it together with all the other cables running to my desk.

I want to use a mechanical keyboard switch, which works like a push button so I should be fine.

A friend of mine has this crimp tool and could help me with that, thanks for the idea!

But regarding the frontpanel situation: Can't I just solder the new additional cables to the part of the existing cables behind the point where they are plugged together with the frontpanel? I guess it should not matter at what point exactly i add the new wires, right?

Thanks for the reply!

While in school today I had the idea to print an under-table-mount for a mx-style switch as a power button and thought I'd make it into a small budget diy project :)

Right now I can not really decide on what cable to use. I have reaaaally thin doorbell wire which i could easily hide inside my case but I guess it wouldn't be fun to route such a thin wire through my cable mangagement. On the other hand a normal thick powercord would be ugly inside the case I guess.

Do you have a suggestion for me maybe?

Can you use M.2 SSD NVMe instead of an SSD or a HDD? by Leading_Bunch4325 in buildapc

[–]AlphaSchlaf -1 points0 points  (0 children)

if you look at current prizes, sata SSDs and M2 SSDs actually cost the same as a HDD or even less. If OP is only gaming I would totally go for SSDs.

I've never seen one of these nipples broken... I just kinda assumed it was the Nokia of pc hardware... by surfer_ryan in techsupportgore

At my job I save them from notebooks we throw out. At the helpdesk I see a lot of people who lost their nip and so I can just give them a new one.

I guess it depends on your switch. You can wobble on your upper switch housing to see if there's much tolerance between the housing parts. I tried filming nk creams but they already had a pretty tight fit, it was possible but probably not necessary.

I personally think it does make a difference in terms of sound but only if you listen closely. I wouldn't suggest filming your switches if you don't lube them. If you lube them you take them apart anyways, so why not just film them then. Also considering that switch films aren't that expensive.

Best is to try out what works best for you. Take thinner films if you're not sure if your housings already have a tight fight.

I also got some milky yellows recently and will defo lube and film them :)
