I have a darkFlash DLM21 mesh case, with an RGB-heavy build inside. My case fans are some upHere set from Amazon, that come with their own hub with a what appears to be a 2-pin push-button switch for cycling through the RGB patterns (by clicking it) or switching over to motherboard control (by holding down for 5 secs). Right now, the wire with the push button thing is just dangling out of my case, but I'd like to figure out a more elegant solution.
The button looks just like one of these: https://www.newegg.com/p/1W7-005X-00043
I saw that my case's reset button seems to use a similar switch. There is also a square groove next to the reset button that looks like it is made for holding one of these, with a hole for the screw/washer to hold it in place, but there is no button or hole for it in the case itself, so I would have to drill a small hole in the case to utilize this.
Should I just replace the reset button with the RGB control button? Drill a hole for a new button on the front panel? Drill a hole in an empty PCI slot cover and install it there? Something else? I tried googling this for a while, but anything like "adding an extra switch to my PC" gives me results that don't really answer my question. Is there a good place to find examples of this simple kind of mod?
