LAOMAO Desktop Computer Case Switch With Dual USB Ports + Power Reset Button + LED Lights

Purchased this to go with a Thermaltake Tower 900 case that was to be put on a shelf (display PC) and realised I would need to jump to reach the power button on the top of the case. Fitting is a doddle, the inside cable may need to be sleeved if you're doing any custom builds as the multicolour might ruin your asthetic! I have given it 5 starts, despite the the external cable to the button isn't actually long enough for my needs (my issue, not the products) as it's only about 1m long, but does mean the button is now on the shelf next to the PC - but I'm sure long enough for all needs. You'll see what I mean in the photo - although the blue light matches my build nicely!The USB ports are nice to have, although it might not work with some webcams, such as the Logitech HD camera that I have - "you cannot plug it into a hub", so be on the watch out for that.

Installed at a Church AV desk where the PC is hidden away under the desk. This power switch makes it really easy for anyone to switch the PC on and plug in USB devices. The switch itself is good enough quality, easy to use and was easy enough to install (does involve some knowledge eg opening the PC case and finding the right sockets on the motherboard).

My Pc is out of reach under my desk, installed this and it works great, the USB ports are also super useful, they only seem to be USB 2 but for what i use them for (controllers and copying the odd photo from my camera) they work great.Little bit complicated to install if you're not savvy with the insides of a pc, but anyone whos' built a few PC's should hvae no problems installing this.Button has a satisfying click to it and the cable is detachable from the computer, without opening it.The unit is around the size of a large doughnut

Not installed it yet so can't say it it works but on first impressions I'm not impressed with the quality for a few reasons1. It feels really light, you will need to use the sicky pads at the bottom if you want it to stay still2 exposed wires - the outer skewing for the wires ends before the connector meaning that if the short wire get pulled it's the actual cables themselves taking the load which are easly Brocken3 the device has 2 circle cut outs for what I'd guess is a microphone in and headphones out port which was removed and it just looks tacky to me4 being a bit perdantic here but the cable it's self feels cheap, tacky and is short (but the short cable is mentioned in the product description so I can't complain about that too much)5. Again something I knew at the time of purchase, the internal cables are all multicoloured and need to be covered with something for it to look nice in a windowed picIn summary for just under £13, I'd expected a lot more for what is essentially a 1.2m extention cable and some buttons but since I can only find 2 products that fit my needs I suppose this product fills a niche market and therefore you get less for your money but I don't feel I can give this a positive review but equally it does everything the seller says and what I need so I can't give it a bad review for that so 3 stars - a neutral review. Would I recommend this? If your willing to put the time in and cover the rainbow cables and you need a remote on/ off button then yes, you don't have many other alternatives and this product does look better than the other alternative, so to me I would pay £13 for it but that's out of lack of alternatives than a good product

saves me so much time having a big button to press on my desk, only problem is the USB ports are upside down so most usb's end up looking odd plugged in but i find this happens with most cheap devices.easy to install and with the port on the back really handy for when i need to move my pc and clean up wires. would def buy again.

Bought to replace a faulty on/off button in a desktop pc. Great little piece, easy to assemble (at least for computer literate people) and works fine. Doesn't take much space on the desk, it's the size of a muffin (but flatter). Has a light which indicates if the computer is on or thinking. Very happy with it.

Nice design and good build quality. However the power button got stuck one time so far and I fear it may not be as durable as it appears. Cable is a decent length and switch has some sticky pads if you want to mount it somewhere. If it breaks I would buy another one as I've yet to see a similar item / brand that looks as good.

The case switch worked for 2 months, then just stopped working completely. It took me hours and hours to work out exactly what the problem was, swapping components in the PC before finding out it was the new switch. This caused me lots and lots of hassle, as well as it does not work after only 2 months, I can only give this a rating of 1 and recommend you do not buy it.

Easy to install, works just fine and looks good. Not high-end, but good for the price. USB: was not able to read a memory stick, but mouse and keyboard worked fine. And usb2 is to slow for my external drives anyway, so no problem. I now can switch on my pc without diving under the desk, and it's nice to see the HD-led flashing. Fast delivery.

Es muy útil , cuando se rompe el botón de la torre , que suele ocurrir con bastante frecuencia , te permite dejar la torre en el suelo y escondida , y me ha parecido un precio razonable

I installed this in my son's computer. It was easy to install and works perfectly. He recently acquired a new computer (second hand) and he insisted that I install this on the new one. LOL He loves it. I think I may need one for mine!

Ce bouton déporté est vraiment très pratique et permet un accès à des ports USB facilement. Il faut être assez minutieux pour le brancher sur la carte mère mais sinon rien à redire.

Recentemente ho cambiato tastiera al mio PC; sono passato da una tastiera scomodissima, rumorosa e dura, che ho sempre detestato, a un'altra, pagata 2 euro in un mercatino dell'usato, ma morbida e piacevole al tocco proprio come la volevo. Con un solo limite: non ha i tastini per accendere e spegnere il computer, a cui mi ero abituato, ma pare che li stiano togliendo un po' da tutte le tastiere, dicono che la gente li azionava per sbaglio spegnendo il PC nel corso di un lavoro non salvato...La situazione me l'ha salvata questo apparecchietto. Un oggetto piccolo, piacevole, economico e geniale: sostanzialmente un rimando "da scrivania" dei comandi che abitualmente si trovano sul case del computer: accensione, reset, spie. E in più due prese USB.Fa poche cose ma le fa bene; installarlo è stato semplicissimo (comunque se non si ha dimestichezza con l'assemblaggio dei PC è consigliabile farsi aiutare dall'amico smanettone), non ho utilizzato il rimando al tastino di reset proprio perché avevo paura di resettare per errore (ma tanto non si usa spesso, per fortuna) e quello della spia dell'hard disk perché avevo paura disturbasse. La luce, integrata al tasto, è azzurra e non disturba. Ho potuto anche eliminare l'hub USB alimentato che avevo sulla scrivania. Beninteso, questo non è un hub; le prese sono "rimandi" a connettori interni della scheda madre (ovviamente bisogna che ce ne sia uno disponibile ma un po' tutte le schede madri recenti sono piuttosto ridondanti sotto questo profilo) e non a una presa sullo chassis; questo in sostanza evita di dover alimentare l'hub con l'alimentazione esterna e lascia tutta la larghezza di banda disponibile perché le due prese sono indipendenti tra loro (gli hub normalmente ripartiscono la banda di una sola presa su più prese).Consigliabile.
