Happ Button to Power Arcade PC

[majoly]

Ok so my setup is when my PC is booting, everything comes up with my smart power strip.

Right now what I want to do is to use one of my Happ button to turn on the PC.

Of course with the microswitch that usually comes with this button it's impossible. Either I wire the cable to be always on, which is not what I want, or I hold the button pressed to have power to the PC.

Is there a micro switch that fits on Happ buttons that will turn and keep on my PC or is there a way to wire what I have to make it work?

Thanks

What kind of PC is it?  Most modern PC's now use ATX power supplies which use a momentary power button on the front of the case.  You can tap into those two wires and use a standard Happ button.

If not, you can use a pushbutton like this one that will "stay on" when depressed:

It is perfectly doable - I know since I have had this setup since 2007. I have done exactly as DeLuSioNal29 says. One touch it powers up (and with a smart strip i also powers up monitor, amp and lights). A second touch and everything shuts down.

Yes you guys were right. My PC is a recent ATX computer, but when I tested my button, i tried it on an old At computer. I forgot my button would be ok with ATX when I tested.

Button is installed and wired to my computer, works great.

Thanks for the help
