Need help finding the “special cable” shown in this video to connect a momentary switch to the motherboard, looked around and had no luck so thought id try here. Thanks in advance.

    Please tell me you’re kidding???

    A PC power switch makes momentary contact on a 5v control signal. Any two wires will do.

        Watched enough. The tabs coming out of the bottom of the switch are not magical. You don’t need to use Spade slide connectors over them. You can solder to them. You can tie a wire to them at 5 volts for Christ sakes. The other end is standard motherboard pin headers.

        Why would one source some sort of specialized cable just put a different case switch on to motherboard pin headers? If you don’t already have an Electronics toolbox with all sorts of different bits and bobbins, it’s a complete waste of money.
