My switch on my case recently stopped working so I started using the reset button on the corsair case and that is also starting to stick now. Is there anywhere I can get a replacement switch for it. I do not care if the switch does not fit in the case the motherboard is a sabertooth z77 and the case is a corsair 600t
 
Any momentary switch will do. you could use a light switch, flip it on then off-to turn on, turn on and leave of for hard reset-turn off after system cycles.

this would work. your power switch would be the magnet passing the sensor switch.

or theres this. both about the same price.
 
Quickest solution is a monetary/on push button style switch from the auto parts store, it is already a 12v DC design, and will work perfectly.

You will find them in the accessory aisle where the raw wiring is with a host of choices and designs, just make sure it is a monetary/on switch, because there is a monetary/off switch and that won't work.
 


There may be another alternative you need to check for, I had a case that the suffered the same situation and discovered the cure after I had already replaced the switch, check this out before you buy the new switch.

The button on the case itself used an extension of plastic to hit the micro switch seated in it's own socket, over time the pressure was pushing the micro switch out the rear of it's socket, if that's your situation all you need to do is push the micro switch back fully into the socket and hot glue it back in!
