I looked, this case uses a pcb with micro buttons

I have one of these though, will have to check what kinda switch it has

Lack of drive bays is proving annoying. Lol

Any ideas for adding drive bays?

Gotek, but in a card slot?

both power & reset tend to be momentary switches, not latching ones.

I know, I meant what form factor the switch is.

It’s a micro button.

Are there any latching microbuttons?

Probably not. You could build a 555 latch circuit though.

Power on pin on ATX PSU is pulled high internally in PSU's side when off. Motherboard pulls this low and held low ground as long as PC is on. Not signal. This is control pin. For this, this is safely done with a latching push button or toggle switch hooked to this and ground to power anything that is not ATX motherboard.

Cheers,

If it was me I'd maybe try the concealed approach, and indent a small latching rocker switch behind the front magnetic filter

If it is like 1 , then no
if it is like 2, then yes.
